Why teams trust this converter

Zero-Trust Ready

Files never leave the tab. PSD binaries live inside WebAssembly memory and are disposed of immediately after producing a ICO output.

Format-Aware Presets

We tune FFmpeg flags so PSD characteristics (color depth, metadata) persist when writing ICO deliverables.

Ops-Level Observability

Each run exposes duration, file size deltas, and CPU hints so production teams can benchmark PSD → ICO workflows.
