About the formats
PDF document
PDF is the universal document format. It locks in fonts, layout and images so a file looks identical on any device, which makes it the standard for sharing and printing.
Strengths
- Looks identical everywhere
- Ideal for printing and signing
- Opens on every device
Limitations
- Hard to edit without tools
- Reflows poorly on small screens
- Text extraction can be messy
Best for: Sharing, printing and archiving finished documents with a fixed layout.
PNG image
PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It keeps every pixel exact, which makes it the go-to choice for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges.
Strengths
- Lossless — perfect, repeatable quality
- Full transparency (alpha channel)
- Crisp text, lines and flat colour
Limitations
- Larger files than JPG for photos
- No native animation
- Not ideal for large photographic images
Best for: Logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic that needs transparency or pixel-perfect edges.
