About the formats

PSD

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.

JP2

JPEG 2000

JP2 (JPEG 2000) is an advanced image format offering both lossy and lossless compression with better quality than classic JPEG. It is used in archiving, medical imaging and cinema, but has limited everyday support.

Strengths

  • Better quality than JPEG at the same size
  • Lossless and lossy modes
  • Strong for archival and medical imaging

Limitations

  • Almost no browser support
  • Limited consumer-app support
  • Slower to encode/decode

Best for: Archival, medical and cinema imaging — converted to JPG or PNG for everyday sharing.
