Frequently asked questions

Is this PSD to TIFF 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 TIFF lose quality?+

There's a quality slider so you can balance file size against visual quality. At high quality settings the difference is usually invisible.

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 TIFF?+

Drop your PSD file into the box above — it's automatically converted to TIFF 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 TIFF

What is PSD?

PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native project format, preserving layers, masks, and editable text rather than a single flattened image.

What is TIFF?

TIFF is a flexible, high-fidelity format favored in printing, scanning, and professional photography workflows.

PSD and TIFF solve different problems. PSD is great for ongoing design work, but TIFF pulls ahead when you need supports lossless compression and very high bit depths. If that's the situation you're in, converting is worth it.

How it works

  1. 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. 2

    Pick your settings

    The output format is already set for this page — just adjust any extra options shown, if there are any.

  3. 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

  • Print production
  • Scanned documents
  • 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 TIFF files+

TIFF is a flexible, high-fidelity format favored in printing, scanning, and professional photography workflows.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was designed to be a container flexible enough for almost any kind of image data — multiple pages, layers, high bit depths, and either lossless compression or none at all. That flexibility is exactly why it became the standard in print production and document scanning, where color accuracy and detail matter more than file size. It's rarely seen on the web, since browsers don't render it natively and its files run large, but it remains the safe choice whenever an image needs to survive a professional print or archival pipeline untouched.

How to open a TIFF file

Opens readily in Windows Photos, macOS Preview. For real editing, use Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Adobe Lightroom.

Most web browsers won't display TIFF directly — convert to JPG or PNG first if you need it to show up on a page.

Good for

  • supports lossless compression and very high bit depths
  • the de facto standard in print and scanning pipelines

Watch out for

  • large files
  • poor support in web browsers
