About formats

BIN refers to MacBinary-encoded font files, a transfer format that preserves classic Macintosh file system features when moving data across platforms. Classic Mac OS stored fonts using the resource fork — a secondary data stream invisible to non-Mac systems — which meant that simply copying a Mac font to a Windows PC or Unix server would strip the actual font data entirely. MacBinary solves this by combining both the data fork and resource fork into a single flat file with a 128-byte header containing the original HFS metadata. In the font context, BIN files typically wrap TrueType suitcase fonts, PostScript Type 1 LWFN outline files, or bitmap NFNT font resources. The format was first specified in 1985 by Dennis Brothers and collaborators from the early Mac community, with MacBinary II following around 1987 and MacBinary III arriving in 1996 to support longer filenames. A key advantage is lossless preservation: every byte of the original Mac font file survives intact through email, FTP, or cross-platform file sharing, including creator and type codes that identify the font format. The single-file packaging is another practical strength — rather than dealing with separate data and resource streams, users and automated systems handle one portable container. Although modern macOS has moved away from resource forks and Mac fonts now typically ship as OTF, TTF, or DFONT files, BIN remains important for accessing archived font collections from the classic Mac era.

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.
