document format

A document format refers to the way information is organized and styled within a file, such as text, images, and layout. It ensures consistent appearance and structure across different devices and software. Common formats include DOCX for Word documents, PDF for fixed-layout sharing, and TXT for plain text. Each format has specific rules for how content is stored and displayed, which helps users view, print, and edit documents reliably. Choosing the right format depends on the purpose, whether for editing, sharing, or preserving the original design.
