PSD to PNG online (the file still stays on your computer)
“PSD to PNG online” usually means: you open a website, upload a Photoshop file, wait, and download a PNG. Layerzip is also used in a browser, but the conversion does not go through our server. The page loads once; after that, parsing and encoding happen on your machine.
If you arrived from a search for a quick online converter, you can start here — the tool is the same one as on PSD to PNG.
What “online” does and does not mean here
- You need a modern browser and a network connection to load the site (and to check a paid license, if you use batch or layer export).
- You do not need a network connection for the bytes of the PSD to be sent anywhere. The file is read locally.
- If you work on confidential comps, storyboards, or client files that should not sit on a conversion server, this is the reason to use a client-side tool.
Upload-based services can still be a better fit when you want server-side rendering that is closer to Photoshop, very large files that do not fit in browser memory, or many formats besides PNG and JPG. See the honest comparison on Convert a PSD without Photoshop.
Free and paid
