Our stock image assets are compatible with most editing software, but the level of compatibility depends on the file formats - we offer raster (JPG and PNG) and vector (PDF and EPS) images.
| Format | Compatibility | Programs and software | Free alternative program |
Raster (non-vector) images | JPG, PNG | Work with virtually all image editing programs, presentation software, and video editors | Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo, PowerPoint, Apple Keynote | GIMP - an open-source photo editor |
Vector images | PDF, EPS | Require a vector editing program for full editing capabilities. Opening in non-vector software will usually flatten the file into a single image. | Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Affinity Designer | Inkscape - an open-source vector editor |
Note: Some PDFs only contain raster content - those can usually be opened in raster programs or software, but they won’t have editable elements.
In short
Raster files (JPG, PNG): Universally compatible, best for quick use and simple placement.
Vector files (EPS, PDF): Require vector software for full editing control. Inkscape is a free alternative if you don’t use Adobe or Corel.
