Do you know your PDFs from your PSDs? We often get clients requesting documents and asking for files in a format that is not what they require. And understandably so, with so many applications nowadays it’s not difficult to become confused with file formats, file extensions and what goes with what. So we’ve compiled a brief guide of our most commonly requested file formats.
This guide includes the file format with extension and what application they belong to. The example document name is ‘extensions101’ followed by the retrospective software file extension. E.g extensions101.docx.
