Convert PSD to JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, ICO, PDF or TIFF
One Photoshop file, seven possible outputs. Reading the PSD's flattened preview runs a real open-source PSD parser locally in your browser — nothing is ever uploaded anywhere.
Your files stay on your device — 100% client-side processing

What each output format is actually good for
JPG
Universal compatibility. Lossy compression at 92% quality by default here — flattens transparency onto white, the standard choice for sharing a finished mockup or photo.
PNG
Lossless, with transparency preserved if your PSD's background layer was transparent. Larger files than JPG, but no re-compression artifacts.
WEBP
Broadly supported (Chrome, Firefox, Safari 14+, Edge), and typically 25–35% smaller than an equivalent JPG at the same visual quality.
AVIF
Usually the smallest files of the group, but encoding support in browsers is still uneven. If your browser can't produce one, you'll get a clear error instead of a broken file.
ICO
Windows/macOS icon and favicon container. This tool writes a single PNG-compressed icon resized to a maximum of 256×256px.
Wraps the image as a single, full-page PDF sized exactly to the photo's pixel dimensions — handy for sending a photo as a "document."
TIFF
An archival raster format still used in print workflows. The browser-side encoder used here produces uncompressed TIFF files, so expect a larger file size.
Why PSD needs a converter at all
A PSD is Photoshop's own layered document format — layers, masks, adjustment layers, text, blend modes, the works. No browser, and almost no general image viewer, understands any of that. What this tool actually reads is the flattened preview image Photoshop optionally embeds in the file alongside all the layer data, precisely so other software can get a usable picture out of it without understanding layers at all.
| Capability | Support |
|---|---|
| Reading a PSD's flattened preview (this tool) | Works if present — done with ag-psd, an open-source PSD parser, entirely in your browser |
| Viewing a raw .psd file directly (no converter) | Not supported by any mainstream browser — needs Photoshop or dedicated software |
| Encoding to JPG / PNG / WEBP (this tool) | All modern browsers |
| Encoding to AVIF (this tool) | Depends on browser — detected automatically, with a clear error if unavailable |
Good to know before you convert
That Photoshop setting is what embeds the flattened preview this tool reads. It's on by default, but if it was turned off, there's no ready-made composite image to extract, and conversion will fail with a clear message.
This tool exports what your PSD looked like flattened at the moment it was last saved. It doesn't let you toggle layer visibility or re-render blend modes — for that, you still need Photoshop or a similar layer-aware editor.
That's a real limitation of the open-source PSD parser this tool uses, documented by the library itself — 16-/32-bit and CMYK PSDs aren't currently supported.
Only the standard PSD format is handled. Photoshop's PSB variant, used for documents larger than 30,000px or 2GB, reports a clear error instead.
That's a real limitation of the browser-side TIFF encoder we use, not a hidden setting — expect a notably larger file than the source PSD's flattened size.
Your files never leave your device
Reading the PSD and re-encoding it into JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, ICO, PDF, or TIFF all happen locally in your browser. There's no upload step, no server processing, and nothing is retained after you close the tab.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I just open a PSD file in a normal image viewer?
A PSD can hold dozens of layers, masks, adjustment layers, and text objects — none of which a plain viewer understands. What tools like this one actually use is the flattened preview image Photoshop optionally saves alongside all that layer data. This one reads it with ag-psd, an open-source PSD parser, entirely in your browser.
Which formats can I convert my PSD file to?
JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, ICO, PDF, and TIFF — pick any of them from the dropdown next to each uploaded file.
Why did my PSD fail to convert, or come out blank?
Almost always the file was saved without Photoshop's "Maximize Compatibility" option, which is what embeds the flattened preview this tool reads. That setting is on by default — turning it on and re-saving from Photoshop fixes it.
Does this support .psb (large document format) files?
No — only standard 8-bit RGB, grayscale, or bitmap PSD files. The PSB variant, and 16-/32-bit or CMYK PSDs, will report a clear error rather than a broken result.
Why is my exported TIFF file so large?
The browser-side TIFF encoder this tool uses currently writes uncompressed files. It's a real limitation of that library, not something you're doing wrong.
Do you store or see my files?
No. Reading and re-encoding both happen locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and nothing is retained once you close or refresh the page.
