Convert a PSD to PNG without uploading the file

Layerzip reads a Photoshop .psd in your browser, then lets you download a flattened PNG. The file stays in this tab. There is no upload to our servers, and you can confirm that in your browser’s network panel.

This is a converter, not an editor. If you need to change typography, masks, or smart objects, use Photoshop or a full editor such as Photopea. If you only need a PNG — or a ZIP of each layer — you should not have to send the artwork to a conversion website.

What you can do

Free: one flattened PNG (or JPG) per file, under the size cap. See Pricing.
Paid: batch convert several PSDs, export larger files, and download all layers as PNGs in a ZIP. That workflow is described on Extract layers from a PSD.
Formats: start at PSD to PNG or PSD to JPG.

How it works

Drop a .psd on the converter (or use the same tool on PSD to PNG).
Layerzip parses the file locally with an open-source Photoshop parser, in a background thread so the page stays responsive.
For a flattened image, we use the composite preview already stored in the file when it exists (Photoshop’s “Maximize Compatibility”). That is the closest match to what you see on the canvas.
Your download is created in the browser. We never receive the PSD.

Honest limits

Client-side parsers do not reproduce every Photoshop feature. Adjustment layers, some smart-object filters, and certain blend modes may not match a Photoshop “Export as PNG.” Text is taken from the already rasterized pixels in the file, not redrawn from live fonts. 16-bit documents are saved as 8-bit PNG or JPG. Large files can run out of browser memory even when you are on a paid plan.

If the document was saved without Maximize Compatibility and has no composite image, we will say so and can only offer a best-effort flatten. Details and a comparison with Photopea, CloudConvert, and Convertio are on Convert a PSD without Photoshop.

Privacy in one line

The PSD does not leave your device. Account and payment data for paid plans are handled by our payment provider, not stored inside the file converter. Read the Privacy Policy.
