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.
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.
