PSD to PNG

PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native layered format - powerful for editing, but hard to open outside Photoshop. PNG, by contrast, is universal, lossless and keeps transparency. This tool reads the embedded, merged preview (the composite) that Photoshop stores in the file and exports it as a PNG you can display anywhere.

The conversion runs entirely locally in your browser (ag-psd, pure JavaScript - no upload, even offline). It reads the finished composite, not the individual layers, so you get exactly what Photoshop's preview shows; any transparency is preserved in the PNG. Very large canvases are capped to protect memory, and a PSD without a stored composite is rejected honestly rather than producing a blank image.

You will meet this when sharing a design as a viewable image, dropping a mockup into a document or web page, or making a PSD accessible to someone without Photoshop. PNG is lossless and transparency-capable - ideal for logos, UI graphics and composites; for plain photos a smaller JPG is often the better choice.

Specifications

In 3 steps

1. Drop or tap your PSD or PSB file.
2. The tool reads the merged composite.
3. Download the PNG (several as a ZIP).

Limitations: It exports the FLAT composite (the preview Photoshop embeds), not the individual layers - there is no re-editing of layers, text or effects. The PSD must carry a stored composite ("Maximize Compatibility"); otherwise a clear error. Transparency is preserved. Very large canvases are capped. Embedded metadata such as EXIF data or ICC colour profiles in the PSD is not exported along with it - only the flat composite image.
