A given graphic can be saved in any of the four formats, but each one has particular strengths that can be lost when converting from one to the other. The table below shows the best use of each format and some things to remember about each one. Call Print Shop customer service with technical questions about logo usage.

Clipping paths are outlines that mask out parts of a graphics file.
On this page, the TIFF files with clipping paths mask out the background of the graphic. When the graphic is placed on a colored background, the background color meets the edges of the path. This eliminates the square, white block that would otherwise surround the graphic. Some applications, such as MS Word, do not support clipping paths. In that case, the TIFF without a clipping path must be used.
