See what is inside a Photoshop file someone sent you: the flattened picture, its size and colour mode, and every layer and group with its opacity and whether it is hidden. Any layer with pixels can be saved as its own PNG at its own size, or all of them at once in a zip. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.

How PSD Viewer works

A PSD keeps every layer, but it also stores a finished, flattened copy of the picture for other programs to show. This page reads that copy, so the PNG looks exactly as the document did in Photoshop when it was saved, with its effects, blend modes and fonts already applied.

In the file What you get
The flattened picture PNG with transparency, or JPG on white
Layers and groups A list, top first: size, opacity, hidden or not
A layer with pixels Its own PNG, at its own size
16-bit and 32-bit colour Converted to 8-bit for PNG and JPG
PSB large documents Read the same way

When the picture is rebuilt. A file saved with "Maximize compatibility" turned off has no flattened copy. The page then stacks the visible layers itself with normal blending and their opacity, and says what it could not reproduce, such as a Multiply layer, a drop shadow or a mask. For an exact copy, open the file in Photoshop, tick Maximize compatibility and save it again.

The rest of the article, and all 6 questions about PSD to PNG, are on the PSD to PNG page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I open a PSD file without Photoshop?

Drop the .psd on this page. The flattened picture appears with its size, colour mode and layer list, read by your browser. Press Download to save it as a PNG or a JPG that any phone, computer or document can open. No account, no install and no upload.

Will the PNG look the same as in Photoshop?

Yes, when the file was saved with Maximize compatibility, which is Photoshop's default. That option stores a finished copy of the picture with effects and fonts applied, and that copy is what you get. Without it, the page rebuilds the picture from the layers and names anything it could not reproduce.

Can I export the layers of a PSD as separate PNG files?

Yes. Every layer with pixels has a PNG button in the list, and All layers saves them together in one zip. Each file is the layer at its own size with transparency, named after the PSD, its position in the stack and the layer name.

Is my Photoshop file uploaded?

No. The file is read by your own browser with the open-source ag-psd reader, and the PNG, JPG and layer files are made on your device. Unreleased designs and client work never reach a server, and nothing remains once you close the tab.
