How it works
- Drop your PSDThe file is opened by your browser using the File API — it stays in your device's memory.
- We render it locallyAn open-source PSD engine composites all visible layers into a single image, right on your CPU.
- Download the PNGOne click saves a full-resolution flattened PNG next to your original file.
Why convert PSD to PNG in the browser?
PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native format. It stores layers, masks, smart objects and adjustment data — which is exactly why almost nothing outside of design software can open it. When a client, developer or teammate just needs to see the design, sending a PSD leads to the classic reply: "it won't open". Converting to PNG solves that: PNG is lossless, supports transparency, and opens on every device made in the last twenty years.
Most online PSD converters ask you to upload your file to their servers. Design files are frequently confidential — unreleased branding, client work under NDA, product mockups. This tool never transmits your file: the conversion runs inside your browser using WebAssembly. You can watch the network tab in developer tools and verify that nothing is uploaded.
The converter renders the composite image of your document — what you would see in Photoshop with all currently visible layers. Files saved with "Maximize Compatibility" convert most reliably, since they embed a pre-rendered composite.
