Common Design File Types

Your go-to reference for design file formats.

AI. PNG. SVG. EPS. JPG. PDF.
If you’ve ever been confused by which file to send — or worse, sent the wrong one — you’re not alone. Design file types can feel overwhelming, but the truth is: once you understand the basics, you’ll never have to guess again.

That’s exactly what the File Types Guide is here for.

What You'll Learn

✔ The difference between vector and bitmap (and why it matters for logos)
✔ When to use lossy vs. lossless compression
✔ The best (and worst) uses for JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF
✔ Why vector formats like AI, EPS, and SVG are essential for scaling your brand assets
✔ How PDFs bridge the gap between sharing, printing, and preserving quality

This guide is written in plain English — no jargon, no fluff. Just clear explanations to help you make confident choices.

Why It Matters

Sending the wrong file type can cost time, money, and professionalism. A pixelated logo, an unprintable file, or a background that isn’t transparent are all signs of a brand that’s not buttoned up.

When you know your file formats:

  • Your logos always look sharp (no more blurry graphics)

  • Printers, web designers, and collaborators trust you know your stuff

  • You save time and frustration by sending the right file the first time
