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.
HEIC image
HEIC is the high-efficiency format Apple devices use by default. It stores photos at roughly half the size of JPG with comparable quality, but is awkward to share outside the Apple ecosystem.
Strengths
- Half the size of JPG at similar quality
- Stores rich photo metadata
- Default on modern iPhones and iPads
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.
