MYLPER

File formats: PSD, PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, PDF and .mylper

Updated 2026-10-09

Opening files

  • PNG, JPEG, WebP and GIF (first frame) open as a document or, with File → Place Image as Layer, as a new layer.
  • PSD — 8-bit RGB and greyscale files open with their layers, groups, names, opacity, visibility, blend modes and layer masks. Text and smart objects open as pixels. Anything that cannot be kept is listed when the file opens.
  • SVG opens as an image (pixels). Scripts in SVG files never run.
  • .mylper project files open exactly as they were saved.

Files are recognised by their contents, not their names.

Exporting

  • PNG — lossless with transparency. JPEG — small photos without transparency. WebP — small files with transparency.
  • PSD — layers, groups, masks, opacity and blend modes. Shapes and text become pixels; adjustment layers are included in the flattened image only.
  • SVG — shapes and text stay vectors; other layers are embedded as images.
  • PDF — one page at the document's resolution.
