Should you deliver the client the .psd and the finished image in .png, or just the .png?
What is the usual thing to do?

it depends of the design.
if its a logo usually; favicon, high res transparent png, small png, jpg, b&w, pdf, eps, svg, ai or psd, and sometimes an app icon and mockups.

Thanks broski.
What if it is not a logo? They client already provided the logo and you had to make an image with it? Like a profile picture, or a banner, or a presentation card, or something along those lines?

then look for the banner size and provide it with a couple of sizes and include the psd as well (once it's approved). I most of the times send different versions with small changes for example one with a dark background and one with a white one or different photos or even fonts, just don't send more than 3 options,
by presentation card you mean business card? that's usually a cmyk pdf with a 3mm bleed (search on yt for tutorials there's a couple of things you'll need to do like the dpi,size and artboards etc)

Yeah, I have been doing that. Sending 3 variations for him to choose.
That's what I meant,a business card!. I am going to make the design and send it to a printing shop and they'll take care of the rest I guess.
Thanks for the help.

psd, aep and prproj files shouldn't be shared with the client.
some clients will insist on getting them. unless it's an exceptional case, provide them with lossless formats of your end result but keep your source projects for yourself

An opposite idea appears!
So, it is up to you after all?
I am guessing that the problem with giving your project files to the customer is that if they need anything further, instead of calling you, they will just ask their nephew who "knows a thing or two about computers."

pretty much
I always state the formats I'll be delivering the final product in the invoice so there are no arguments further down the line.
