Convert PWP to ICON

The PWP file extension stands for PhotoWorks Image File, associated with the PhotoWorks software developed by Seattle FilmWorks. Primarily used in the late 1990s and early 2000s for storing color images, PWP files are similar to SFW files and were commonly used for image downloads from the internet. Although the software is now discontinued, PWP files can be converted to standard JPG images using specific converters.

An ICON file, an abbreviation for Icon Image File, is primarily used in Microsoft Windows operating systems to represent graphical icons. These files are essential for visually identifying applications, files, and folders, enhancing user experience through graphical representation. ICON files support multiple sizes and color depths, ensuring compatibility and visual clarity across different display settings. Introduced in the early versions of Windows, ICON files have evolved to accommodate higher resolutions and color variations, aligning with advancements in display technology. Their primary function is to provide a quick, intuitive visual reference for software and system elements.
