PSD to PDF converter

PSD is what designers work in; PDF is what printers, clients, and archives accept. Converting between them shouldn't require a desktop Adobe app, a third-party upload, or losing editable text. Drop your PSD above and the editor opens with every layer loaded — tweak it if you want, then click Download to get a vector PDF.

Vector preserved, text selectable

Many online "PSD to PDF" tools rasterize: you upload a clean PSD, you get back a flat 300 DPI bitmap inside a PDF, blurred at any other zoom and 10× the file size it should be. This converter parses the PSD into a Polotno design tree (text, shapes, paths, images) and re-emits it through a real vector PDF engine. Text stays text, paths stay paths, strokes stay strokes. A bitmap option is also available when you specifically need a pixel-perfect snapshot.

Edit during conversion

After you drop the file, the PSD opens inside the same Polotno editor we license to companies that ship design tools. Move layers, change colors, edit text, replace an image — or just click Download as Vector PDFif no edits are needed. This is the wedge against Photoshop+Acrobat for one-off client edits: you don't need either license to fix a typo before sending the proof.

How it works

1. psdToJson() parses the PSD into a Polotno design — the same parser our SDK customers use to import PSD assets in production.
2. The design loads into a Polotno editor mounted right on this page: pages, groups, layers, text, images, all editable.
3. Click Download as Vector PDF and the editor passes the design JSON to jsonToPDFBlob() from @polotno/pdf-export/browser, which emits a real vector PDF (paths, strokes, selectable text). The Bitmap PDF option calls store.saveAsPDF() instead — one flattened image per page.
4. Everything runs in the browser — your file never touches our servers.

The same conversion in code

import { createStore } from "polotno/model/store";
import { psdToJson } from "@polotno/psd-import";
import { jsonToPDFBlob } from "@polotno/pdf-export/browser";

const store = createStore({ key: "YOUR_KEY" });
const buffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
const json = await psdToJson({ psd: buffer });
store.loadJSON(json);

// Vector PDF (default in this tool)
const blob = await jsonToPDFBlob(store.toJSON());

// Or raster — flattened image per page
await store.saveAsPDF({ fileName: "design.pdf" });
