- Only the documented flattened RGB or grayscale composite subset is decoded. Layers, CMYK and embedded profiles are refused.
- PNG or JPEG
- PNG preserves the decoded raster without JPEG loss. JPEG uses the entered bounded quality and can change edges or fine text.

Refuses PSB, CMYK, 16-bit, ZIP compression, extra channels and every embedded ICC profile. No layer editing, color-managed conversion or guarantee of full Photoshop appearance.
Where your input is processed
This tool processes your input in this browser. Your text and files are not uploaded to UseFreeTools. Check this tool's limits for anything it may save on your device.
The preview is not a Photoshop reconstruction
The file must contain a supported stored composite. A successful decode does not preserve layers, color management or the complete appearance of an unsupported editing feature. Retain the PSD and compare the preview in a suitable editor before replacing it.
Questions about PSD Preview Converter
Can I edit Photoshop layers here?
No. Only the supported stored flattened composite is decoded.
Why are ICC profiles refused?
This bounded converter does not perform color-managed profile conversion.
Does JPEG preserve transparency?
No. This supported PSD subset has no extra alpha channel, and JPEG is an opaque format.
