PSD to PNG

Convert a Photoshop PSD file's flattened composite image to PNG — free, private, and processed entirely in your browser.

About the PSD to PNG Converter

A PSD is Photoshop's native working file — layers, adjustment layers, smart objects, and all — which most other software, and most people, can't actually open. Every PSD also stores a flattened composite: the single merged image Photoshop shows as a preview, generated automatically whenever the file is saved. This tool extracts that composite and converts it to PNG, giving you a normal image file anyone can open, without needing Photoshop.

This is a flatten-and-export tool, not a layer editor — it reads the embedded composite image exactly as Photoshop rendered it, rather than reconstructing each layer, blend mode, and effect from scratch. Parsing and conversion run entirely locally in your browser; your PSD is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this preserve my individual layers?

No — this tool exports the single flattened composite image already embedded in the PSD, the same merged view you'd see as its thumbnail in Photoshop or Finder. It's built for getting a usable image out of a PSD quickly, not for editing layers.

Does it preserve transparency?

Yes. If your PSD's composite includes transparent areas, they carry over into the PNG, since PNG (unlike JPG) supports an alpha channel.

What if I get an error about color mode or bit depth?

PSDs saved in CMYK, Lab, or Multichannel color mode, or at 16-bit/32-bit depth, aren't currently supported — you'll see a clear error rather than a broken or discolored image. Re-saving the file in RGB, 8-bit mode from Photoshop (Image > Mode) resolves this.

Is my PSD file uploaded to a server?

No. Parsing and conversion happen entirely locally in your browser.
