How it works

The picture Photoshop saved

A PSD holds a flattened copy of all visible layers next to the layers themselves. The viewer draws that copy, so you see the file the way it looked when it was saved.

Fit or actual size

The image is drawn once at its full size. Fit shrinks it to your screen, 100% shows every pixel and scrolls. Transparent areas can sit on a checkerboard, white or black.

What is inside the file

Next to the picture you see its size, colour mode, bit depth, PSD or PSB, compression, layer count, transparency and whether it carries a colour profile.

Honest about what it cannot draw

CMYK, Lab and 32-bit files, and files saved without Maximize Compatibility, are not drawn in full. If the file holds Photoshop's small preview, that is shown instead and labelled with its real size.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I open a PSD file without Photoshop?

Drop the PSD or PSB file here. It is read in your browser and shown at once, fit to your screen.

Can I see the layers?

No. The viewer shows the flattened image Photoshop saved with the file and tells you how many layers it has. Drawing each layer would need Photoshop's blend modes and effects, which are not rebuilt here.

Why do I only see a small preview?

The file cannot be drawn in full here, for example because it is CMYK or was saved with Maximize Compatibility off. Photoshop keeps a small JPEG preview inside most files, and the page shows that with its real size and the reason.

Can I save the image?

Yes. Open the same file in PSD to PNG to keep transparency, or in PSD to JPG for a smaller file.

Are colour profiles applied?

No. The colour values are shown as they are, and the facts list says when the file has a profile. For sRGB files, the usual case, nothing changes.

Is there a size limit?

500 MB for the file and 40 megapixels for the image. A larger image is not drawn, and the page says its real size.

Is my PSD uploaded anywhere?

No. The PSD is read and shown in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
