Convert PSD to PNG Online

Need to turn a PSD file into PNG? PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native document, holding layers, masks, text and effects in an editable stack. To share a PSD as a normal picture you flatten it to a standard format - Which is exactly what converting does. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless format built for graphics rather than photos. It keeps every pixel exactly and supports a full alpha channel, so it is the go-to for logos, icons, screenshots and anything with transparency or crisp edges. Converting from PSD to PNG bridges the two: you keep the picture, but in a format that fits where you are taking it.

What to expect converting PSD to PNG

File size

PNG is smaller than the layered PSD but larger than a JPG, storing the flattened result losslessly.

Quality

Layers are flattened into one lossless image while transparency is preserved in the alpha channel.

Best used when

You want a lossless, transparency-keeping export of a Photoshop design for the web.

Think twice when

You need to keep editing the individual layers, which only PSD retains.
