About the formats
Photoshop document
PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native layered image format, used by designers for photo edits, mockups and composites. Its flattened composite keeps full transparency, so it converts cleanly to a web image or to a transparency-preserving SVG.
Strengths
- Layered, non-destructive photo editing
- Full transparency (alpha channel)
- Industry standard for image design
Limitations
- Needs Photoshop or a converter to open
- Not viewable in browsers or most apps
- Large files — impractical for sharing
Best for: Opening or previewing Photoshop artwork — usually converted to PNG, WebP or SVG to publish and share.
AVIF image
AVIF is a next-generation format based on the AV1 video codec. It offers excellent compression, wide colour and transparency, often beating WebP and JPG on file size.
Strengths
- Outstanding compression and quality
- Wide colour gamut and HDR
- Transparency and animation support
Limitations
- Not supported by older browsers/apps
- Slower to encode
- Limited editing-software support
Best for: Cutting-edge web delivery where the smallest possible high-quality image is the goal.
