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.
Targa (TGA)
TGA (Targa) is a simple raster format with an alpha channel, long used in gaming, 3D and video production for textures and intermediate frames.
Strengths
- Supports an alpha channel
- Simple, lossless storage
- Common in games and 3D
Limitations
- Large file sizes
- Rare on the web
- Limited everyday support
Best for: Game textures and 3D/video pipelines — converted to PNG or JPG for sharing.
