PhotoRiyaHow to convert a PSD to PNG
Add your PSD
Drag the file onto the box above, or tap Choose PSD file and pick it from your device. The preview appears as soon as it's read.
Pick PNG, JPG or WebP
PNG is selected for you. Switch format any time: the preview, the file size and the download all update without reloading the file.
Download the image
Press Download. The image is saved with your PSD's name, ready to share, upload or drop into a design.
PSD to PNG, JPG or WebP: which should you choose?
A PSD keeps every layer, mask and effect so the design stays editable. Websites, email, chat apps and most printers can't open one, so you export a flat picture. This is how the three formats differ:
| Format | Best for | Transparency | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| PNG | Logos, graphics, screenshots, anything you'll edit again | Yes | Lossless |
| JPG | Photographs, email attachments, small files | No (white background) | Lossy, you choose how much |
| WebP | Images on websites | Yes | Lossless, usually smaller than PNG |
Converting a PSD to JPG works the same way as to PNG: add the file, then switch to JPG and use the quality slider to trade file size for detail.
Use it as a free online PSD viewer
Just want to see what's inside a PSD? You don't need Photoshop to open a PSD file. Drop it in and the preview shows the finished design at full size, along with the dimensions, colour mode, bit depth and layer count. The file is read on your device and discarded when you close the tab.
Because PNG, JPG and WebP are flat, the converter gives you the merged picture, not the separate layers. To open the layers, change the text or swap an image, open the PSD in PhotoRiya. It's the same engine this converter uses.
Your PSD never leaves your device
Most online converters upload your file to a server, which is a problem for client work, unreleased designs and large files. This one doesn't. The converter is a small program that your browser downloads once and runs locally, so once the page has loaded it needs no connection, and nothing about your design is sent anywhere.
Questions people ask
How do I convert a PSD to PNG without Photoshop?
Drop your .psd file onto the converter above, or tap Choose PSD file. The PNG appears in about a second. Press Download PNG to save it. You don't need Photoshop, an account or any software.
Is it safe? Is my PSD uploaded to a server?
Your file is not uploaded. The conversion runs inside your browser tab, on your own device, and the finished image is handed straight back to you. Nothing is sent to a server, so it is safe for client work and unreleased designs.
Does the PNG keep a transparent background?
Yes. PNG and WebP keep transparency. JPG cannot store transparency, so see-through areas become white in a JPG.
Will I get my layers back?
No. PNG, JPG and WebP are flat pictures, so the result is the whole design merged into one image, the way Photoshop's Export As does it. To keep working with layers, open the PSD in PhotoRiya, a free editor that opens PSD files with their layers and saves them back to PSD.
How do I open a PSD file online without Photoshop?
Use the converter on this page as a PSD viewer: drop the file in and the preview shows the finished design. To open it with its layers and edit it, use PhotoRiya, which runs in your browser and needs no install.
Should I convert my PSD to PNG or JPG?
Choose PNG for logos, graphics, screenshots and anything with transparency, because it is lossless. Choose JPG for photographs when you want a small file. Choose WebP for a lossless image that is usually smaller than PNG, for use on the web.
Why does my PSD look different after converting?
The converter uses the full-size preview Photoshop saves inside the file when Maximize Compatibility is on, and otherwise draws the layers itself. If a file uses effects or fonts that are missing, the result can differ slightly. Open the file in PhotoRiya to check the layers.
What is the largest PSD I can convert?
Files up to 400 MB and about 120 megapixels. A browser tab has limited memory, so very large files convert best on a computer rather than a phone.
Does it work on iPhone, iPad and Android?
Yes. It runs in the browser of any recent phone, tablet or computer. Tap Choose PSD file and pick the file from your device or cloud storage.
Is the PSD to PNG converter really free?
Yes. There is no limit, no watermark and no account. PhotoRiya is open source under the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses.
