Source Format
Photoshop Document
image/vnd.adobe.photoshopPSD (Photoshop Document) is the native file format for Adobe Photoshop, capable of storing layered images with full editing capabilities. It preserves layers, masks, adjustment layers, blend modes, text layers, vector paths, and smart objects in a single file. PSD supports color depths up to 32 bits per channel and multiple color spaces including RGB, CMYK, and Lab.
Advantages
- Preserves all Photoshop layers, masks, effects, and editing history
- Supports very high bit depths and multiple color spaces for professional work
- Widely supported for import by other design and image editing applications
Limitations
- Large file sizes, especially with many layers and high-resolution images
- Maximum file size of 2 GB (PSB format required for larger files)
- Full editing capability requires Adobe Photoshop or compatible software
Common Uses
- Professional photo editing and retouching with layered workflows
- Graphic design source files for print and digital media
- Design handoff files between designers and production teams
Target Format
PNG Image
image/pngPNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format that supports full alpha transparency. It was created as a patent-free replacement for GIF and uses DEFLATE compression to reduce file sizes without any loss of quality. PNG is ideal for images that require transparency or need to be edited repeatedly without degradation.
Advantages
- Lossless compression preserves perfect image quality
- Supports full alpha transparency with 256 levels of opacity
- Excellent for graphics with sharp edges, text, and flat colors
Limitations
- Significantly larger file sizes compared to JPEG for photographic images
- Does not support animation in standard implementations
- Not ideal for print workflows that expect CMYK color space
Common Uses
- Web graphics, logos, and icons requiring transparency
- Screenshots and user interface elements
- Graphics with text overlays or sharp geometric shapes
