HEIC became widely recognized when Apple adopted HEIF-based image storage in its consumer ecosystem, turning a standards-driven container family into an everyday format users actually encountered.
PSB at a glance
PSB
Photoshop's native format became one of the de facto interchange anchors of raster design and retouching, even outside Adobe-only teams, because so many creative pipelines converged around its feature set.
