How do you store raster data?

There are three methods to store image and raster data: as files in a file system, within a geodatabase, or managed from within the geodatabase but stored in a file system. This decision also involves determining whether to store all the data in a single dataset or in a catalog of potentially many datasets.

Is a large raster file that doesn’t lose quality?

A TIF is a large raster file that doesn’t lose quality. This file type is known for using “lossless compression,” meaning the original image data is maintained regardless of how often you might copy, re-save, or compress the original file.
 

Why You Should Use GeoPackage instead of shapefile?

Geopackages run faster on algorithm outputs compared to shapefiles. In a geopackage, there is no limit on the file size and can handle large number of features in a smaller file size. A shapefile can handle maximum size of 2 GB and cannot export a vector layer with more features.
