About the formats

Limitations
- Poor support on Windows, Android and the web
- Often needs converting before sharing
- Limited editor compatibility
Best for: Storing iPhone photos efficiently — usually converted to JPG or PNG before sharing.

- Supports layers and multiple pages
- Standard in scanning and prepress
Limitations
- Large files
- Poor browser/web support
- Overkill for everyday sharing
