PSD to PNG converter

Photoshop's standard PSD-to-PNG export means launching Photoshop. This converter parses your .psd in the browser and gives you back a clean PNG — with the option to edit the design in a full Polotno editor first if the layers need tweaking. No Photoshop license, no upload, no server.

Layer-aware, not just a screenshot

Most online "PSD to PNG" tools render the PSD's pre-baked composite image and call it done. This one walks the layer tree: text layers stay editable text, vector and shape layers stay vector, raster layers stay images. By the time you hit Download, the PNG is rendered fresh from the live design — identical to what you see in the editor, not a re-encoded copy of whatever Photoshop wrote on save.

Edit during conversion

After the PSD parses, the design opens inside the same Polotno editor we license to companies that ship design tools. Move layers, retype text, swap photos, recolor shapes — or just click Download as PNGif no edits are needed. This is the wedge against Photoshop for one-off changes: you don't need a $20/month license to swap a name on a flyer template.

Transparent background by default

PNG's native alpha channel is preserved. If your PSD has a background layer with a solid fill, hide or delete it in the editor before exporting and you'll get a transparent cutout of the foreground content — perfect for product shots, logos, social-media stickers.

The same conversion in code

The Polotno SDK exposes the same primitives this page is built on. To do the conversion in your own browser or Node.js code:

import { psdToJson } from "@polotno/psd-import";
import { createStore } from "polotno/model/store";

const buffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
const json = await psdToJson({ psd: buffer });

const store = createStore({ key: "YOUR_KEY" });
store.loadJSON(json);
await store.saveAsImage({ fileName: "design.png" });
