PSD's layers and masks aren't portable; PNG's transparency and lossless quality are. Flatten Photoshop files to PNG for designers, developers, and anyone who needs the result without the editing stack.

Preserve every pixel of your Photoshop composition
Drop Adobe Photoshop .psd files. The converter reads the flattened composite layer from the PSD's preview data.
All visible layers flatten into a single RGBA image as Photoshop would render them. Transparency preserves across every semi-transparent pixel. No layer data is lost to JPG compression artifacts.
PNG output is lossless and carries the full alpha channel. Opens in every design tool, every browser, every OS — no Photoshop required downstream.

PSD files frequently contain transparency, sharp text, logos, and UI elements — content categories where JPG's lossy compression produces visible artifacts. PNG's lossless DEFLATE preserves these perfectly. If your PSD has alpha or sharp edges, always choose PNG.

Layer behavior, transparency, Photoshop features, and fidelity.
Yes. PSD files with transparent backgrounds (common for logos, icons, product cutouts) export to PNG with full alpha preservation. Every semi-transparent edge pixel carries its exact alpha value to the PNG output.
Not from this tool — our converter outputs the flattened composite. For layer-by-layer export, you need Photoshop's Export As feature or scriptable automation via Adobe ExtendScript. This tool is for the composite view, not the editable layer structure.
Yes — the PSD's embedded composite preview already has all blend modes (Multiply, Screen, Overlay, etc.) and layer effects (drop shadow, stroke, gradient) baked in. The PNG output matches what Photoshop shows on screen.
Both render at the PSD's current resolution using the embedded composite. Vector shapes rasterize to the PSD's pixel grid — scale limits are set by the PSD's dimensions, not by Photoshop's infinite vector nature.
Very closely. The PSD's embedded preview is Photoshop's own render. Edge cases (Display P3 wide-gamut, 32-bit float layers, advanced color management) may show minor differences, but for typical 8-bit sRGB design work the match is pixel-perfect.
PSD uses specialized compression for layered data; PNG uses lossless DEFLATE on raw pixels. Size increase depends on content — flat graphics may stay similar, photographic PSD layers can grow significantly as PNG. Expected behavior, not a bug.
Yes. 16-bit PSD files convert to 16-bit PNG when possible (8-bit by default for compatibility). For 16-bit PNG output, use the advanced mode toggle. Most downstream tools are fine with 8-bit, so stick with default unless color depth matters for your workflow.
50 MB per PSD. Large design files (print work with high-res photos, complex multi-page mockups) may exceed this. For larger PSDs, flatten in Photoshop first and save a smaller working version, or export directly as PNG from Photoshop's Save As.
