Texture2D or Texture

Unity Engine

I have a png that I was using as a sprite, but now I want to use it as a texture.
So when doing Resource.Load(…), what would I load it as?

A Texture2D or a Texture?

Texture2D. Texture is the base class from which Texture2D, Texture2DArray (5.4), Cubemap, etc. (different types of textures) inherit from.

You’re loading in a sprite, which is a 2D texture.
