Look inside a Photoshop file without Photoshop - the full layer tree, text and fonts, smart objects, adjustments, effects, colour mode, bit depth and DPI. Just need the picture? Use PSD to PNG.
Sending a design to someone without Photoshop? PSD to PNG or the PSD Viewer shows it in any browser.
Each layer gets an icon for its type and tags for what changes how it looks.
The preview is the flattened image Photoshop saves inside the file.
If "Maximize compatibility" was turned off, that image is missing or blank - the check says so.
CMYK, Lab and 32-bit files are converted to on-screen colours, which can shift slightly.
| PSD | PSB | |
|---|---|---|
| Max size | 30000 x 30000 px | 300000 x 300000 px |
| Max file size | 2 GB | 4 EB |
| Opens in | Photoshop, GIMP, Photopea, Affinity | Photoshop, some others |
Both are analyzed the same way. Very large PSB files may be too big for a preview, but the layers are still listed.
Drop the file into the box. The Layers tab shows every layer and group with type, visibility, opacity and blend mode - no Photoshop needed.
Yes. Text layers show their text, and the fonts used are listed below the layer tree.
The summary shows the colour mode (RGB, CMYK, Lab, greyscale, indexed...) and 8, 16 or 32 bits per channel.
The file was saved without its flattened image ("Maximize compatibility" off). The layer analysis still works. PSD to PNG can rebuild the picture from the layers.
Yes - Photoshop large documents (.psb) are read the same way.
No. The PSD is read in your browser and never leaves your device.
