PSD (Photoshop Document) is Adobe Photoshop's own file format.
It is the standard for layered design work - mockups, photo edits, social media templates and print layouts.
Unlike a flat PNG or JPG, a PSD keeps the full editing state: layers, groups, masks, text and effects. A PSD viewer lets you check a design, grab an image or inspect the layers without owning Photoshop.
PSB is the large-document version for canvases beyond 30,000 pixels or files over 2 GB. This viewer opens both.
When Photoshop saves with Maximize Compatibility, it adds a flattened preview of the whole image. That preview is what you see here, pixel for pixel. Without it, the viewer rebuilds the image from the layers.
PSD is for editing - PNG and JPG are for sharing. The most common reason to open a PSD without Photoshop is to get a usable image out of it, and that is what the download buttons do.
For other formats, the TIFF Viewer, HEIC Viewer and WebP Viewer cover the rest of the family. To turn a design into an icon, try PSD to ICO.
Illustrator (.ai), Sketch, Figma, XD and GIMP files use different structures and need their own apps. If you drop one here, the viewer tells you what it is.
Illustrator files are PDF-based, so the PDF Viewer can often show them. The full list of formats is on the file viewers page.

The viewer runs in the browser, so the same page works everywhere.
Drop the .psd file into the viewer above. It opens in your browser in a few seconds - no Photoshop, no subscription and no install.
You see the full image, every layer and the text, and you can save it as PNG or JPG. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone and Android.
Yes. Open the file and press PNG for a full-size image that keeps transparency, or JPG for a smaller file on a white background. WebP is there too.
To convert many PSD files at once, use the PSD to PNG converter.
Yes. The Layers panel shows every layer and group, including hidden ones. Click a layer to see it on its own, and use the eye icons to hide or show layers.
Press Layer PNG to save one layer, or All layers to get every layer as a transparent PNG in one ZIP file.
PSD (Photoshop Document) is the native file format of Adobe Photoshop. Unlike a flat PNG or JPG, a PSD keeps everything you need to keep editing: layers, groups, masks, text, effects and adjustment layers.
PSB is the large-document version for images over 30,000 pixels or files over 2 GB.
Photoshop saves a ready-made preview of the whole image when Maximize Compatibility is on, and the viewer shows it exactly.
If the file has no preview, or you hide a layer, the image is rebuilt from the layers - layer styles, adjustment layers and some blend modes are then approximate. Very large files may open without layer previews to stay within your browser memory.
Yes. The file is read by your own browser and never uploaded to our servers. That makes the viewer safe for client work, unreleased designs and NDA projects.
Recent files are only remembered on your device if you switch that option on.
Yes. PSB large documents, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale, Indexed, Duotone and Bitmap files open, in 8, 16 and 32 bits per channel.
Colours of CMYK and Lab files are converted to screen colours, so they can look slightly different from Photoshop with a custom colour profile.
No - those are different formats. Illustrator .ai files are PDF-based and open in the PDF Viewer.
Sketch, Figma, XD and GIMP .xcf files need their own apps - export them as PSD or PNG first. If you drop one of them here, the viewer tells you what the file is.
