Convert PSD to PNG

What the PSD to PNG converter actually keeps

A PSD stores a flattened composite plus the layers used to build it. The PSD to PNG converter reads that composite and writes a PNG. Transparency in the composite survives. Layers, masks, and editable text do not.

Keep the original PSD if you still need to move a layer or change type. The PNG is a finished picture you can share or open elsewhere. Read how PSD files are structured before you throw the source away.

Convert the file, then edit the PNG

The photo editor cannot open a PSD. Convert first, then edit the PNG. Open Convert PSD to PNG, drop the file, and download the result. Processing runs entirely in your browser. Works offline after the page loads. No account and no watermark.

The page is a converter, not an editor. There is no target-file-size field. You get a quality slider and an optional max-dimension cap. The results list shows in to out size, rounded to whole KB, so a readout of 20 KB can be 20.4 KB.

When a JPG is the better export

Choose PSD to JPG when the picture has no transparency you need to keep and a smaller file matters more than a lossless PNG. JPG has no alpha channel, so translucent edges become solid.

  • PNG keeps transparency from the flattened composite.
  • JPG is smaller and has no transparency.
  • Neither export keeps layers, masks, or editable text.

What to expect after you download

The PNG matches the look of the flattened composite, including any transparency that composite already had. It will not reopen as layered artwork. If the composite was already flattened inside the PSD, that is exactly what you get.

Nothing is uploaded. Files are processed right on your device. Install nothing, sign in to nothing, and keep the PSD anywhere you still edit it.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PNG keep my Photoshop layers?+

No. The converter reads the flattened composite and writes that as a PNG. Layers, masks, and editable text are not preserved. Keep the PSD if you still need to edit those.

Will transparency survive?+

Yes, when the flattened composite already has transparency. That alpha channel is written into the PNG. A JPG export has no transparency.

Can I edit the PSD in the photo editor?+

No. The photo editor cannot open a PSD. Convert it to PNG first, then edit that PNG.

Do I need Photoshop or an account?+

No. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and there is no watermark. The conversion runs entirely in your browser.
