How to use it
- Drop your .psd file here.
- Check the preview and, if you like, toggle layers on or off in the list.
- Click Download PNG (or JPG).
- To get the layers, click All layers separately (ZIP) or the PNG link next to a layer.
What you can do with a PSD here
- View it. See the image without installing Photoshop. The file name, size, dimensions, color mode, bit depth and number of layers are shown above the preview.
- Convert it. Download the full image as PNG (lossless, with transparency) or JPG (smaller).
- Choose layers. Uncheck layers or whole groups to hide them, and the preview and download update to match.
- Extract layers. Download a single layer as PNG, or every layer at once as a ZIP. Each layer is saved at its own bounds, which is handy for pulling logos, photos or graphics out of a design.
The PSD is read in your browser and never uploaded, which is useful for client work under NDA.
Merged image vs. layers
A PSD usually contains a merged preview image that Photoshop saves when Maximize Compatibility is turned on (the default). This tool uses that merged image when all layers are in their original visibility, so the result matches what you saw in Photoshop.
When you change layer visibility, or when the file was saved without a merged image, the tool builds the picture from the layers instead. In that case some Photoshop features are not rendered:
| Rendered | Not rendered when building from layers |
|---|---|
| Pixel layers and their opacity | Layer effects (drop shadows, strokes, glows) |
| Groups and visibility | Adjustment layers (curves, levels, hue) |
| Layer positions | Blend modes other than normal |
| Smart filters, live text re-rendering |
For an exact match, keep the original visibility so the merged image is used, or re-save the PSD in Photoshop with Maximize Compatibility on.
Limits
- Very large files: PSDs over 400 MB are rejected, because the browser would likely run out of memory. Large files of a few hundred MB may still be slow on older devices.
- PSB (large document format) files can be dropped too, but very big ones may exceed browser memory.
- CMYK and 16-bit files are converted to standard screen colors; colors may look slightly different from Photoshop's display.
- Text layers are shown as they were last rendered and saved in the file; they are not editable here.
Who this is for
- Developers and marketers who receive designs as PSD files and only need the images.
- Clients and reviewers who want to see a design without owning Photoshop.
- Print shops and resellers who need a quick PNG or JPG preview of a customer file.
- Anyone cleaning up old archives of PSD files, who wants viewable copies.
For actual editing, such as changing text, effects or adjustments, you still need a full image editor that supports PSD, like Photoshop, GIMP or Affinity Photo.
When to use PNG, JPG or layers
- PNG for graphics, designs with transparency and anything you will edit further.
- JPG for photo-based designs you want to email or upload; transparency becomes white.
- Layer ZIP when you need the individual assets: product cut-outs, logos, icons or background images.
Need the result smaller or in another format? Use Compress image or the image converter afterward.
Frequently asked questions
How can I open a PSD file without Photoshop?
Drop it on this page. The image is shown in your browser and you can download it as PNG or JPG.
Can I extract individual layers?
Yes. Click PNG next to any layer, or All layers separately (ZIP) to download every layer at once.
Why do shadows or effects look missing?
Layer effects and adjustment layers are not rendered when the image is rebuilt from layers. Keep the original visibility to use the merged image.
Is my PSD uploaded?
No. The file is read and converted in your browser.
Is there a size limit?
Files over 400 MB are not accepted, because the browser would likely run out of memory.
