About formats

KWD is the native document format of KWord, the word processor component of KOffice (later renamed Calligra Suite), developed by the KDE community with its first stable release in KOffice 1.0 in 2000. KWord distinguished itself from other word processors through a frame-based layout model where text, images, and other content existed in independent frames that could be positioned freely on the page, similar to desktop publishing applications — a departure from the linear text-flow approach used by most word processors. KWD files store document content in a compressed XML format that describes the frame hierarchy, text content with formatting markup, paragraph styles, page dimensions, headers, footers, and embedded media. The format uses a ZIP container packaging the XML document alongside any referenced images and resources. One advantage was the flexible frame-based layout — users could position text and image frames independently on the page, enabling newsletter-style layouts and creative document designs without switching to a dedicated DTP application. The open XML structure is another benefit, making KWD files transparent and accessible to automated processing. KWord was included in several Linux distributions as part of the KDE desktop environment during the 2000s. The project was eventually discontinued in favor of Calligra Words, which adopted the ODF standard. KWD files can be opened with legacy KOffice installations or converted through document conversion tools.

PSD (Photoshop Document) is the native file format of Adobe Photoshop, the industry-standard raster image editor first released on February 19, 1990. PSD files preserve the complete editing state of a Photoshop project: all layers (raster, text, adjustment, shape, and smart object layers) with their positions, blending modes, opacity, and layer effects; layer masks and vector masks; alpha channels; spot color channels; paths; guides; slices; and the full undo history. The format supports images up to 30,000 x 30,000 pixels (PSB, the large document format, extends this to 300,000 x 300,000) in color modes including RGB, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale, Indexed, Duotone, and Multichannel, at 1, 8, 16, or 32 bits per channel. PSD files use a combination of RLE compression for individual layer data and store composite (flattened) preview images for quick display by applications that cannot parse the full layer structure. The format has become a de facto standard for professional creative workflows far beyond Photoshop itself — photographers, graphic designers, web developers, and video post-production artists exchange PSD files as the working format that preserves creative flexibility. One advantage is the non-destructive editing model: PSD preserves every layer, mask, adjustment, and effect as independently editable elements, allowing creative decisions to be revised at any point without starting over. The format's role as the interchange standard for the creative industry provides another core strength — PSD files can be opened by Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, as well as Affinity Photo, GIMP, Sketch, Figma, and Photopea, making it the lingua franca of visual design.
