About formats

WMZ is a compressed variant of the Windows Metafile (WMF) format, introduced by Microsoft with Office 2000 in 1999. A WMZ file is simply a WMF file compressed using the gzip algorithm (RFC 1952), reducing the file size for more efficient storage and embedding within Office documents, web pages, and other containers. The underlying WMF format stores vector graphics as a sequence of GDI (Graphics Device Interface) function calls — commands that draw lines, curves, polygons, text, and bitmaps — recorded in a device-independent format that can be replayed at any resolution. WMZ preserves this vector nature: when decompressed, the file produces a standard WMF that renders through the Windows GDI subsystem using the same drawing primitives as on-screen display, ensuring visual fidelity across different output devices and resolutions. WMZ files are commonly found embedded in Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), HTML email messages generated by Outlook, and web content produced by Office's Save as Web Page feature. The format is also used for clip art and template graphics distributed with Office installations. One advantage is space efficiency: gzip compression typically reduces WMF file sizes by 60-80%, meaningful when many small graphics are embedded in a single document or web page. The format's deep integration with the Microsoft Office ecosystem is another practical strength — WMZ graphics render natively in all Office applications without additional software, and can be extracted, decompressed, and converted using tools like LibreOffice, ImageMagick, Inkscape, and standard gzip utilities.

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.
