Do I need Photoshop to open a PSD online?

No — it opens entirely in the browser, with no software to install.

Are the PSD's layers preserved?

Yes — and most of it stays editable: layers and nested groups, layer and vector masks, blend modes, clipping relationships, guides, document resolution and file info all survive; type layers first show the original pixels Photoshop saved, and a double-click turns them into editable text (type layers inside a layer group can't be converted yet — move them out of the group first). These can't be edited as they were once opened, so you should know upfront: smart objects are rasterised as they currently look (marked ◈, with no way back to the original source); of adjustment layers only fourteen map to editable ones (levels, curves, hue/saturation, colour balance, selective colour, channel mixer, gradient map, photo filter, exposure, vibrance, black & white, invert, posterize, threshold) and other types lose their effect when opened — if you need it, merge it into pixels in Photoshop before bringing the file over; and if a pattern used in a layer style can't be found in the file, that pattern effect is skipped.

Will large files be slow?

PSDs are parsed locally in your browser, so very large files depend on device memory — use a computer for big files.

Online PSD editor

Open and edit PSD without Photoshop — keeps layers, groups and text

or start a blank document

TutuEdit opens PSD files right in your browser using ag-psd, preserving layers, layer groups, text, masks and blend modes — type layers first show the original pixels Photoshop saved, and a double-click turns them into editable text (ones inside a layer group need moving out of the group first). No Photoshop needed — just drop in a .psd to edit.

When you're done, export back to PSD to keep working in Photoshop, or export a finished PNG / JPG / WebP. Great for quick edits, viewing PSD across devices, or when you don't have Photoshop installed.
