HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your PSD files
Drag in .psd documents from Photoshop or another editor.
02
Convert to PNG
Start the conversion. The flattened image stored in the PSD is saved as a lossless PNG.
03
Download the PNG
Download each PNG, or several together as one ZIP.
PSD
PSD is Photoshop's native document format, keeping layers, masks, text and effects for further editing.
PNG
PNG is a lossless image format with full transparency support, the usual choice for graphics, screenshots and editing copies.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
Photoshop Document files hold everything an editor needs: layers, adjustment layers, masks, editable text, smart objects and layer effects. When saved with Maximize Compatibility, they also store a flattened copy of the final image. Outside Photoshop and a few editors, PSD files can't be previewed or uploaded.
TARGET
PNG stores every pixel exactly, so re-saving never degrades it. It supports full alpha transparency and 8 or 16 bits per channel, which makes it the standard for logos, UI graphics, screenshots and images that will be edited again. Photos as PNG are much larger than the same photo as JPG.
| Feature | PSD | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Developed by | Adobe | PNG Development Group (W3C) |
| File extension | .psd | .png |
| Compression | Lossless (RLE) | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes, plus layers | Yes, full alpha |
| Color depth | 8, 16 or 32-bit | 8 or 16-bit per channel |
| Best for | Layered editing in Photoshop | Graphics, screenshots, editing copies |
| Opens in browsers and phones | No, needs an editor | Yes, everywhere |

Files saved by Affinity Photo, GIMP, Krita and Photopea.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PSDs store layers and a preview, which explains most differences.
01
The file was probably saved without Maximize Compatibility, so it has no flattened image. Re-save it in Photoshop with that option turned on.
02
Only what's visible in the document goes into the PNG.
03
The stored flattened image is used, so fonts don't need to be installed. If text looks wrong, the PSD's preview was out of date; re-save it.
04
CMYK and wide-gamut documents are converted for the PNG. Convert to sRGB in Photoshop for the closest match.
05
Transparency is kept only where the document itself is transparent. Hide the background layer and re-save the PSD.
06
Check the PSD opens in Photoshop. A damaged file can't be converted.
Photoshop, Affinity Photo and GIMP open PSD files and export them once installed. dragdropdo turns PSD into PNG in the browser, without a Photoshop license.
