How to Convert PSD to PNG Online
Add files, choose what to save, download. Most files are done in a few seconds.
02
Choose what to save
The whole image, every layer as its own PNG, or both, at 100%, 50% or 25% or a longest side you pick. Layer files can be canvas size or trimmed.
03
Download the PNGs
Save each file as it finishes, or everything in one ZIP with a folder per PSD. Each PNG carries the PSD's DPI.
What Matches Photoshop and What May Differ
If the PSD stores a full picture, your PNG is that picture. If it does not, the picture is rebuilt from the layers and the file is flagged.
Works well
- Files saved with Maximize Compatibility on: the result is the picture Photoshop stored in the file, pixel for pixel.
- RGB, grayscale, indexed and bitmap files at 8, 16 or 32 bits (saved as 8-bit), as PSD or PSB, up to 500 MB.
- Text, shapes and smart objects look as saved, even without the fonts installed, because the file keeps their rendered pixels.
- When a picture is rebuilt: layer order, opacity and fill, layer and vector masks, clipping masks, pass-through and isolated groups, solid color fills and all 27 blend modes.
May differ
- In a rebuilt picture, layer styles (shadows, strokes, glows), adjustment layers, gradient and pattern fills, Blend If, mask feathering and smart filters may differ. Dissolve is drawn as Normal and Soft Light can differ slightly.
- CMYK is converted to RGB by formula: colors are close but not exact, so do not use the result as a print proof.
- Lab, Duotone and Multichannel files do not open yet; convert them to RGB in Photoshop first.
- Canvases above 100 megapixels on a computer (32 on a phone or tablet), or wider than 32,000 pixels, are too large for the browser.
- Editing: this converter does not change text or save back to PSD. For a layered file from a flat picture, use the AI tools below.
Every rebuilt picture is flagged. To get Photoshop's own picture, turn on Preferences > File Handling > Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility and save again.

Save the finished design as one transparent PNG, or keep the pieces: every layer can come out as its own PNG, named after the layer.

Guide: Transparent Backgrounds, Layers and Size
Five things to know before you convert.
1Why you do not need Photoshop
A PSD holds its layers and, when Maximize Compatibility is on, a full-size copy of the finished picture. This converter reads both in your browser. With the saved picture, your PNG matches Photoshop exactly; without it, the picture is rebuilt from the layers and flagged.
2Keep a transparent background
PNG has an alpha channel, so transparent pixels stay transparent and soft edges keep their partial transparency. Many designs have a white Background layer, though, and that layer is part of the picture. To drop it, open the file in the PSD viewer, hide that layer and save the view as PNG.
3Every layer: canvas size or trimmed
Every layer gives you a ZIP with one PNG per layer, named after the layer and numbered from the top like Photoshop's Export Layers to Files, in folders named after its groups. Canvas size keeps each layer in place on a full-size transparent canvas, so the stack lines up again in any editor. Trimmed cuts each PNG to its own pixels, handy for icons and cut-outs. Hidden layers are skipped unless you include them.
4Size, DPI and bit depth
100% keeps every pixel; 50%, 25% or a longest side of 4096, 2048 or 1080 px make lighter files for the web and previews. The DPI saved in the PSD is written into each PNG. Files with 16 or 32 bits per channel are saved as 8-bit PNG.
5When a PSD looks blank
Saved with Maximize Compatibility off, a PSD holds no finished picture, so system previews and many converters show a blank or white image. This converter notices that, rebuilds the picture from the layers and tells you. Masks, clipping, groups and blend modes come back; layer styles and adjustment layers are not drawn.

PSD to PNG FAQ
How do I convert PSD to PNG without Photoshop?
Drop your PSD or PSB files into the converter above, choose Whole image, Every layer or Both, and press Convert. The files are read in your browser, so you need no Photoshop, no account and no install. Download each PNG or all of them in one ZIP.
Is this PSD to PNG converter really free?
Yes. Converting PSD to PNG costs nothing: no sign-up, no credits, no watermark and no daily limit. The work happens on your own device, so there is no server cost to pass on.
Are my PSD files uploaded?
No. Files are opened and converted inside your browser and never sent to our servers. Only the samples are downloaded from our site when you choose to load them.
How do I keep a transparent background?
Transparent areas of the PSD stay transparent in the PNG. If the design has a solid Background layer, that layer is part of the picture: open the file in the PSD viewer, hide the Background layer and save the view as PNG.
Can I export each layer of a PSD as PNG?
Yes. Choose Every layer (or Both) and you get a ZIP with one PNG per layer, named after the layer, in folders named after its groups. Pick Canvas size to keep each layer in place, or Trimmed to cut each PNG to its own pixels. Masks, opacity and clipping are applied to each layer file.
Does it open PSB, CMYK and 16-bit files?
Yes. PSB (Large Document Format) files up to 500 MB open too, as do grayscale, indexed and bitmap files at 8, 16 or 32 bits. CMYK colors are converted to RGB by formula, so they are close but not print-accurate. Lab, Duotone and Multichannel files are not supported yet.
Why does my PNG look different from Photoshop?
Usually the PSD was saved without Maximize Compatibility, so it holds no finished picture and the PNG was rebuilt from the layers. Layer styles, adjustment layers and some fills are not drawn in a rebuilt picture. Turn on Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility in Photoshop's File Handling preferences, save again and convert.
Does it work on Windows, Mac and phones?
Yes, in a current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Phones and tablets have less memory, so canvases are limited to 32 megapixels there (100 on a computer), and files over 100 MB are better converted on a computer.

These PSD tools are free and stay in your browser. When you only have a flat picture, our AI tools separate it into transparent layers and build a layered PSD. The AI tools run on our servers and use credits.
