What is a PSB file?
PSB (Photoshop Big) is Adobe Photoshop's large-document format, created to overcome the 2GB file size and 30,000-pixel-per-side limits of the standard PSD format. PSB supports files up to 300,000 pixels per side and several times larger in file size, preserving the same layers, masks, channels, and editing data as PSD. It's used almost exclusively for very large, professional design or production files such as billboard art, film compositing, and high-resolution print work.
How to open a PSB file
PSB files open natively in Adobe Photoshop, which automatically switches to the PSB format once a document exceeds PSD's size limits. They can also be opened by other Adobe Creative Cloud applications and select third-party editors with PSB support, such as Affinity Photo, though broad cross-platform support is limited compared to PSD.

What is a PDF file?
The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a comprehensive file format, standardized as ISO 32000, designed to present documents consistently independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. It encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout 2D document, including text, fonts, vector graphics, and raster images, based on the PostScript language. Advanced implementations support interactive form fields, JavaScript scripting, 3D objects (U3D/PRC), and various encryption standards.
How to open a PDF file
PDF viewing is natively supported by all major modern web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and most operating systems via built-in previewers. For advanced manipulation, form filling, or pre-press validation, dedicated software such as Adobe Acrobat DC, Foxit Reader, or open-source tools like Ghostscript and Poppler is required.
