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.
Bitmap image
BMP is an uncompressed raster format from the Windows world. It stores raw pixels with no quality loss, producing large but perfectly exact files.
Strengths
- Completely lossless, raw pixels
- Simple, widely readable on Windows
- No compression artefacts
Limitations
- Very large file sizes
- No transparency or animation
- Rarely used on the modern web
Best for: Legacy Windows workflows and cases where an uncompressed, exact bitmap is required.
