**ICO:** ICO is the Windows icon format. A single ICO can hold several sizes of the same icon, which is why it's still used for website favicons.

**PDF:** PDF preserves a document's exact layout, fonts and images so it looks identical on every device. It's the standard for sharing and printing documents.
