About formats

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.

AZW3, also known as Kindle Format 8 (KF8), is Amazon's advanced ebook format introduced in November 2011 alongside the first Kindle Fire tablet. It replaced the older MOBI-based AZW format with a substantially more capable layout engine built on HTML5 and CSS3 subsets, enabling fixed layouts, embedded fonts, SVG graphics, drop caps, and other typographic refinements that were impossible in earlier Kindle formats. Internally, an AZW3 file packages content in a structure derived from EPUB, wrapped in Amazon's proprietary Palm database container with optional DRM protection. The format supports both reflowable text for novels and fixed-layout pages for comics, cookbooks, and children's titles. One major advantage is rich formatting fidelity — publishers can produce visually sophisticated ebooks with complex page designs, nested tables, and precise font control that render consistently across the Kindle ecosystem. Another strength is backward compatibility: AZW3 files can bundle a MOBI fallback section so older Kindle hardware still displays the content, even without full KF8 rendering. The format integrates tightly with Amazon's Kindle platform, supporting features like X-Ray, Whispersync page tracking, and in-book dictionary lookups across millions of devices and apps worldwide.
