Export PSD

Hand over a layered PSD without owning Photoshop — and every layer is still there when they open it

or start a blank document

The client wants a PSD and all you have is a flattened image. Buying a Photoshop subscription just to export one file isn't worth it, and most online converters hand you a renamed JPG — open it and there's a single "Background" layer, which is no layering at all. This page produces a real PSD: written with ag-psd, with layers, groups, masks, live text and common layer styles actually inside the file.

The whole thing happens in your browser — no account, works offline; while you're signed out nothing is uploaded, and once you sign in your work is saved automatically to your own cloud projects. You can open one image, place the rest in as layers, arrange them and export; or open an existing PSD, edit it, and save it back — type layers in the PSD first show the original pixels, a double-click turns them into editable text (ones inside a layer group need moving out of the group first), and ones you never converted go back as pixels.

Only have a flat image? Exporting it straight to PSD gives you a single layer. Use Image to Layered PSD first so the AI splits the text, shapes and background into their own layers, then export it from the editor with File > Export PSD.

Key features

The layer structure is real

Not a renamed image. Layers, nested groups, each layer's name and visibility, opacity and blend mode are written per the PSD spec — Photoshop, Photopea and Affinity all open it layered.

Text stays editable

Text layers are saved as text, not rasterised to pixels. Whoever opens it can change the wording or the size — the single most common thing asked for after handover.

Masks and common styles come along (exceptions stated)

Layer masks and common styles like stroke, drop shadow and inner glow come along: a layer that carries only styles keeps them as editable effects after export; a layer with both a mask and styles, a few adjustment layers, and smart objects are baked into pixels; and styles and masks on type layers are not yet written out with them. We're saying so here rather than letting you discover it after delivery.

Local read/write, no upload while signed out

PSD read and write happen entirely in the browser (ag-psd), so this step never sends the file out. Client assets and unreleased work don't have to be sent to anyone's server first. While you're signed out your work stays on this device; once you sign in, it's saved automatically to your own cloud projects.

How to use

  1. 1
    Drop your assets in
    Anywhere on the page catches them, or click to pick a file (PSD included). Several dropped at once each open in their own tab; to build one layered document, open one first, then use File > Place… to add the rest as layers.
  2. 2
    Arrange the layers
    Reorder, rename, add masks, set blend modes. The panel labels layers L1/L2/L3 — you can also ask the AI to arrange them.
  3. 3
    Give it a once-over
    Check the layer names read clearly and anything meant to be hidden is hidden — that's the first thing the recipient will look at.
  4. 4
    Export the PSD
    File > Export PSD. No watermark on the output and no limit on how many times you do it.

FAQ

Will the exported PSD really be layered in Photoshop?
Yes. It's written with ag-psd, following the PSD spec for layers, groups, masks, text and common styles. A layer that carries only styles keeps them as editable effects; a layer with both a mask and styles, a few adjustment layers, and smart objects are baked into pixels; and styles and masks on type layers are not yet written out with them. Export a small test file and check for yourself — that beats any promise.
Is my file uploaded to your servers?
Not for reading and writing the PSD. PSD reading and writing happen entirely in your browser (ag-psd is a pure JavaScript library) — that step never sends the file off your machine, and no account is needed. You can go offline and export again to verify that. Separately, while you're signed out your work stays on this device; once you sign in, work in the editor is saved automatically to your own cloud projects.
How large a file can it handle?
We set no limit. The real ceiling is your machine's memory and the browser's maximum canvas dimensions — that's the browser's rule, not us guessing what your device can take. Before exporting we try allocating the canvas once; if it doesn't fit, you're told straight away how many pixels it needs and how to scale down, rather than quietly getting an empty file.
Can I convert a PSD to other formats?
Yes. Open a PSD and export PNG / JPG / WebP / SVG / PDF, or export just one layer. It works the other way too: arrange PNGs and JPGs into layers and save as PSD.
