Frequently asked questions
Is this PSD to PNG converter really free?+
Yes. There's no file limit, no watermark, and no account required. Because the conversion runs in your browser instead of on a server, there's no processing queue to pay for.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?+
No. Orbfile decodes and re-encodes the image locally using ImageMagick compiled to WebAssembly, running entirely inside your browser tab. The bytes never leave your device.
Will converting to PNG lose quality?+
No — PNG is lossless, so you won't lose any additional quality beyond what the source file already had.
Can I convert more than one file at once?+
Yes — drop as many files as you like and download them individually or as a single ZIP.
Is there a maximum file size?+
There's no fixed upload limit — Orbfile isn't uploading anything. The practical ceiling is your device's own memory, which comfortably handles even large, high-resolution photos.
How do I convert PSD to PNG?+
Drop your PSD file into the box above — it's automatically converted to PNG and a download link appears in seconds. No settings are required, though you can adjust quality if the tool offers a slider.
About PSD and PNG
What is PSD?
PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native project format, preserving layers, masks, and editable text rather than a single flattened image.
Full PSD format guide →What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless image format built for sharp edges, flat colors, and transparency — think logos, screenshots, and UI graphics rather than photos.
Full PNG format guide →PSD and PNG solve different problems. PSD is great for ongoing design work, but PNG pulls ahead when you need lossless — no generation loss on re-saving. If that's the situation you're in, converting is worth it.
How it works
- 1
Drop your file in
Drag your image onto the box above, or click it to browse — there's no account to create and no upload to wait on.
- 2
Pick your settings
The output format is already set for this page — just adjust any extra options shown, if there are any.
- 3
Download the result
Your browser processes everything locally and hands you a download link the moment it's done — nothing was ever sent to a server.
Is it private?
Everything happens locally, inside this browser tab. Your image is read from disk, processed with WebAssembly running on your own device, and handed back to you as a download — it's never transmitted anywhere, so there's nothing to intercept and nothing stored on a server.
Common use cases
- Logos and icons
- Screenshots
- Preparing images for a website or online store
- Attaching a photo to an email with a size limit

About PSD files+
PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native project format, preserving layers, masks, and editable text rather than a single flattened image.
Unlike JPG or PNG, a PSD file isn't meant to be a finished, shareable image — it's a working file that preserves every layer, adjustment, mask, and editable text box exactly as you left them, so a design can be picked back up and revised later. That editability comes at the cost of portability: a PSD only opens fully in Photoshop or a small number of compatible editors, and it needs to be flattened and exported to something like PNG or JPG before it can be viewed on the web or by someone without the right software.
How to open a PSD file
Opens readily in macOS Preview and Windows Photos can show a flattened preview, but not the layers. For real editing, use Adobe Photoshop, GIMP (partial support), Affinity Photo (partial support).
Good for
- full editability — layers, effects, and text stay separate
Watch out for
- only opens properly in Photoshop or compatible editors
- not usable directly on the web
About PNG files+
PNG is a lossless image format built for sharp edges, flat colors, and transparency — think logos, screenshots, and UI graphics rather than photos.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) was created in the mid-1990s as a free, patent-unencumbered replacement for GIF, and it inherited GIF's lossless approach while adding full 24-bit color and an alpha transparency channel. Because nothing is thrown away during compression, a PNG can be re-saved indefinitely without ever degrading — a real advantage for screenshots, diagrams, and anything with text or hard edges, where JPEG's compression tends to introduce visible smudging. The cost is file size: for photographic content, a PNG is typically several times larger than an equivalent JPEG, which is why most photo libraries still default to JPEG and reserve PNG for graphics.
How to open a PNG file
Opens readily in Any web browser, Your operating system's default photo viewer. For real editing, use Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo.
Good for
- lossless — no generation loss on re-saving
- full alpha transparency
- crisp text and hard edges
Watch out for
- much larger files than JPG for photographic content
