Quick Tool Overview

The PSD Viewer opens Photoshop PSD and PSB files in a browser tab, with no Photoshop and no upload. It shows the design exactly as Photoshop saved it, lists every layer with a tick box to hide it, and reports the pixel size, DPI and real print size in millimetres. Save the preview as PNG, JPG or WebP, or every layer as its own PNG.

About the PSD Viewer

A designer sends over a poster, a banner or a packaging mock-up as a .psd, and the person who has to approve it has no Photoshop. The usual answers are installing a trial, or uploading a confidential design to a stranger's converter and waiting. Neither is necessary: every PSD saved with Photoshop's default settings carries a flattened copy of the whole document, and this page reads it directly, in the tab, the moment the file is dropped.

What you see first is that saved composite — the design exactly as Photoshop showed it, shadows, adjustments and all. The layers load beside it with their names, groups, opacity and blend modes, and each has a tick box, so you can switch off a watermark or a draft note and save what remains. For print sign-off the details that matter are listed too: pixel size, resolution, the physical size that works out to in millimetres and inches, colour mode and bit depth. Save the preview as PNG, JPG or WebP, or take every layer out as its own PNG in a ZIP. The file is never uploaded.

Key features of the PSD Viewer

Exactly as saved

The first view is the flattened copy Photoshop stores in the file, so effects, shadows and adjustments look the way the designer saw them.

Layers you can switch off

Every layer and group is listed with opacity and blend mode; untick one to see the design without it.

Print size in millimetres

Pixel dimensions divided by the stored resolution, so you can check a poster really is A3 at 300 DPI before it goes to press.

Every layer as a PNG

Export all layers in one ZIP, each cropped to its own bounds and numbered in stacking order.

Nothing uploaded

The file is read in the browser tab, and the flattened preview needs no network at all.

How to use the PSD Viewer

  1. 1

    Drop in the PSD

    PSD and large-document PSB files both work. The design appears straight away, exactly as it was saved.

  2. 2

    Check the details

    Dimensions, DPI, print size in millimetres, colour mode and layer counts are listed under the preview.

  3. 3

    Toggle layers if you need to

    Untick a layer to hide it and the design is rebuilt without it. "Back to the saved view" undoes every change.

  4. 4

    Save a PNG or JPG

    Download the preview at full size or smaller for WhatsApp and email, or export all layers as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Drop it on this page. A PSD stores a flattened copy of the finished design next to its layers, and the page reads that copy directly in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to make.
