How do I convert an ICO file to PSB?

Upload your ICO file to our tool, select PSB as the output, and click Convert. The converter extracts every icon size embedded in the ICO and places each one as a separate layer in the resulting PSB, preserving their original dimensions and transparency. Once done, download your layered PSB file.

Why should I convert ICO to PSB instead of using ICO directly?

ICO files are limited to small icon sizes and are primarily for Windows UI. PSB is Adobe's large document format, supporting canvases up to 300,000 pixels and multiple layers. Converting ICO to PSB lets you upscale icons for print or high-res displays, edit each size separately in Photoshop, and use advanced features like smart objects and adjustments.

Does the ICO to PSB conversion preserve transparency and layer information?

Yes. The alpha channel (transparency) is fully preserved. Each ICO resolution (e.g., 16x16, 32x32, 64x64) becomes a separate layer in the PSB, so you can edit them independently. Color depth and pixel data are not altered; the conversion only repackages the image content into PSB's layered structure.
