Drop a Photoshop .psd file below. You'll get a full-size preview of the flattened image, a list of the file's layers that you can show or hide, and a one-click PNG download — everything happens locally in your browser, so your file is never uploaded anywhere.
Drop a .psd file below — the preview, layer list and download appear here.
Preview
Transparent areas stay transparent — the checkerboard behind the preview shows them. The download is always the image you see above, at full size.
Layers
Uncheck a layer to hide it — the preview and the PNG update to match. Check it again to bring it back.
Choose a .psd file in the converter above — by dropping it onto the box or clicking to browse. The first time you convert, the page loads a small PSD-parsing library from a CDN; from then on everything runs on your device. Your file is read straight into memory and parsed locally — it is never sent to a server, so there is no upload queue and no waiting on anyone else's hardware.
Once parsed, you get three things: a full-size preview of the flattened image on a checkerboard background so transparency is easy to see, a row of facts about the file (dimensions, colour mode, bit depth, layer count and file size), and a scrollable list of the file's layers with their Photoshop names.
Uncheck any layer to hide it and the preview rebuilds instantly; check it again to restore it. When the image looks right, press Download PNG to save exactly what you see as a .png file named after your original. If you want a transparent PNG, hide the background layer first.
The layer list is the fastest way to export variants of a design: turn off a watermark layer for a clean export, or isolate a single layer by hiding everything else. When a file was saved with Photoshop's embedded preview, the preview you see first is that exact render; the moment you change any layer's visibility, the preview is rebuilt from the layer data instead, and a note under the preview tells you so.
Transparency is preserved end to end — areas with no pixels stay transparent in the downloaded PNG, which is why the preview sits on a checkerboard. CMYK files are converted to RGB on the way in, and uncommon blend modes are approximated when the preview is rebuilt from layers.
Limits, stated plainly: 16-bit and 32-bit PSDs are refused with a clear message (re-save as 8-bit in Photoshop via Image → Mode → 8 Bits/Channel), as are PSB Large Document Format files and files too big for your browser to render. Text and shape layers stored without raster data can't be re-rendered when the preview is rebuilt — they're listed in the note so nothing disappears silently.
No. The file is read into your browser's memory and parsed there by a JavaScript library. The only network request the tool makes is loading that open-source parsing library from a CDN the first time you use it. Your PSD itself never leaves your device, which also means there's no file-size limit imposed by a server — only your browser's memory.
Regular Photoshop .psd files at 8 bits per channel, in RGB, grayscale or CMYK (CMYK is converted to RGB on import). It can't open PSB (Large Document Format) files, 16-bit or 32-bit PSDs, or files that are damaged — in each case you'll get a plain-language message explaining what's wrong instead of a silent failure.
Yes. Uncheck every other layer in the layer list so only the one you want stays visible, then press Download PNG. The export always matches the preview, so what you see is exactly what you get — including transparency around the layer.
Two cases. If your file was saved with Photoshop's embedded preview, the first preview you see is that exact render. But once you hide or show layers, the image is rebuilt from the layer data: text and shape layers stored without raster data can't be re-rendered and are listed in the note under the preview, and uncommon blend modes are approximated rather than reproduced exactly.
Yes. Fully transparent areas stay fully transparent in the download, and semi-transparent pixels keep their opacity. The checkerboard behind the preview shows you exactly which parts are transparent. If your design has a solid background layer and you want a transparent PNG, uncheck that layer before downloading.
This PSD to PNG converter opens Photoshop .psd files directly in your browser. Drop a file into the converter above and it parses the document locally with the open-source ag-psd library: you get a full-size preview of the flattened image, the file's dimensions, colour mode, bit depth, layer count and size, and a scrollable list of every layer. Uncheck layers to hide them — the preview rebuilds instantly — then download the result as a PNG named after your original file.
Because the conversion runs entirely on your device, there is no upload queue and no file-size cap imposed by a server; the only limits are your browser's memory and the maximum canvas size it can render. The download is a standard PNG with transparency preserved, so it drops straight into web pages, documents, slide decks and chat apps. If you work with other formats too, the image compressor shrinks PNGs and JPEGs the same way — locally, with nothing uploaded. Browse all free tools to see the full collection.
For a transparent PNG, hide the background layer before downloading — anything with no pixels stays transparent, and the checkerboard behind the preview shows you exactly which parts those are. Large print-resolution PSDs export at full size, so scale the PNG down in an editor if you need a smaller file for the web. And if the preview ever looks different from Photoshop, read the note under it: files saved without an embedded Photoshop preview are rebuilt from the layer data, and any text or shape layers stored without raster data are listed there rather than disappearing silently.
Drop the .psd file into the converter above. It parses the file in your browser, shows a full-size preview of the flattened image with a toggleable layer list, and downloads the result as a PNG — no Photoshop install, no account, and no upload.
With this tool, the file never leaves your device: it is read into your browser's memory and parsed locally. The only network request is loading the open-source parsing library from a CDN the first time you convert. There is no safer setup for a file you don't want on someone else's server.
A PNG is always a single flattened image — layers can't survive the format. What you can do is choose which layers are visible with the checkboxes before downloading: hide the ones you don't want and the PNG contains exactly the visible set, transparency included.
Three common reasons: the file is a PSB (Large Document Format) rather than a .psd, it uses 16-bit or 32-bit colour (re-save as 8-bit in Photoshop via Image → Mode → 8 Bits/Channel), or the file is damaged. The converter reports each case with a plain-language message instead of failing silently.
