PS at a glance
PS
Convert to PS when the destination is a print or rendering pipeline that expects PostScript, or when preserving compatibility with older publishing and imaging systems.
It is appropriate for device-oriented print output, workflow intermediates, and archival recovery of print assets.
For general document sharing, PDF is usually the more practical fixed-layout target.
SVGZ at a glance
SVGZ
Convert to SVGZ when you need SVG semantics but want the file itself stored or transmitted in compressed form.
It is most useful for web asset pipelines, map layers, and technical graphics repositories where vector fidelity matters and pre-compressed files are already part of the deployment model.
If the downstream environment already applies gzip or brotli to ordinary SVG responses, plain SVG is often easier to work with.
Choose SVGZ when the consumer explicitly expects it or when archived asset size is worth prioritizing.

What should I review after converting PS to SVGZ?
Check the exported file for Not human-readable without decompression.; Requires correct HTTP headers for web delivery.; Cannot be edited directly — must decompress first..
