Understanding PSD and SVG Formats
Learn about the source and target file formats to understand what happens during conversion.
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
SVG Vector
image/svg+xmlSVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector graphics format standardized by the W3C for describing two-dimensional graphics. It defines images using mathematical paths, shapes, text, and transformations that render perfectly at any resolution. SVG supports CSS styling, JavaScript interactivity, animation (SMIL), gradients, filters, and clipping paths.
Advantages
- Infinitely scalable with no quality loss at any resolution or zoom level
- Can be styled with CSS and made interactive with JavaScript
- Native support in all modern web browsers without plugins
Limitations
- Performance degrades with very complex illustrations containing thousands of paths
- Not suitable for representing photographic or highly detailed raster imagery
- Security concerns when rendering untrusted SVG files with embedded scripts
Common Uses
- Web graphics, logos, and icons that must scale to any size
- Data visualizations, charts, and interactive infographics
- Responsive design assets that work across all screen resolutions
