Why does my PSD look different or blank after converting?

The file was probably saved with Maximize Compatibility turned off, so it has no finished preview inside. The converter then rebuilds the image from the layers, but layer styles such as shadows and strokes and adjustment layers cannot be redrawn. Re-save the PSD with Maximize Compatibility on for an exact copy.

PSD to PNG Converter

Turn Photoshop PSD and PSB files into transparent PNGs - the whole image or every layer on its own - right in your browser, then shrink them with Compress PNG or make an icon with PNG to ICO.

Drop PSD files here or browse PSD and PSB, up to 20 files. They open in your browser - nothing is uploaded.

Layers kept Transparent PNG No upload

No Photoshop needed. Files saved without "Maximize Compatibility" are rebuilt from their layers.

How to convert PSD to PNG

Add your PSD. Drop one or more PSD or PSB files into the box, or browse for them. They open in your browser.
Check the layers. Hide layers with the eye icon - the preview updates live. Tick layers if you only want some of them.
Choose what to export. Flattened image for one PNG, Selected layers or All layers for one PNG per layer. Add a background, resize or trim if you need to.
Download the PNG. Press Convert to PNG. One or two files download directly, more come as a ZIP.

Need a JPG for email or print instead? Use PSD to JPG.

Flattened image or separate layers?

A PSD is a stack of layers, a PNG is one flat picture.

Flattened image - one PNG that looks like the document in Photoshop. Hide layers first to leave them out.
Selected layers - tick a few layers, such as a logo and a button, and get each as its own PNG.
All layers - every layer as a PNG, handy for game sprites, UI kits and handing assets to a developer.

Layer files are trimmed to their content by default. Pick Full canvas to keep every layer at the document size, so they stack back in the same place.

What is "Maximize Compatibility"?

It is a Photoshop save option that stores a finished, flattened copy of the image inside the PSD.

With it, this converter copies that image exactly. Without it, the converter rebuilds the picture from the layers - normal layers, opacity, masks, groups and clipping masks come out right.

Layer styles (drop shadows, strokes, glows) and adjustment layers are not stored as pixels, so they cannot be rebuilt. For a perfect copy, open the file in Photoshop, turn on Preferences - File Handling - Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility and save again.

PSD to transparent PNG

PNG keeps transparency, so empty areas of your PSD stay see-through.

If the PNG comes out with a white background, the PSD has a locked Background layer. Hide it with the eye icon and convert again. Want the opposite? Pick a background colour in the Background row.

JPG cannot store transparency. For small web files with transparency, choose WebP or run the PNG through Compress PNG.

Which Photoshop files work?

File	Where it converts	Notes
PSD (RGB, Grayscale)	Your browser	Layers, groups, masks and transparency
PSB (Large Document)	Your browser	Same as PSD, very big files may skip layers to save memory
16-bit and 32-bit	Your browser	Saved as standard 8-bit PNG
Indexed, Bitmap	Your browser	Converted to full-colour PNG
CMYK, Lab, Duotone	Your browser	Converted to RGB - server render available as a second opinion

Want to see the layers, size and colour mode before converting? Open the file in the PSD Analyzer. Need a print-ready file instead? Use PSD to TIFF.

Tips

Logo with empty space around it? Pick the Trimmed logo preset.
For a website, the Web preset makes a WebP no wider than 1920 px. Or convert to PNG and use PNG to WebP.
Need an exact size such as 1080 x 1080? Use Size - Exact, or the Image Resizer for more control.
Making a favicon? Export the logo layer, then turn it into an icon with PNG to ICO or PSD to ICO.
Huge file? Close other browser tabs first - big PSDs need a lot of memory.
