About WEBP to PSD Conversion
WEBP (introduced 2010) and PSD (introduced 1990) are both image formats, but they differ in important ways. WebP is Google's modern image format offering both lossy and lossless compression at 25-35% smaller sizes than JPG/PNG. PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native format, retaining layers, masks, and editing history.

Pixels are re-encoded using Adobe Photoshop Document's lossless compression
Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where PSD supports it
The PSD file is saved and ready for download

Common Mistakes When Converting WEBP to PSD
"PSD will be smaller than my WEBP file"
PSD uses lossless compression, so the output file is often larger than a lossy WEBP. If you need a small file, PSD may not be the right choice.
"My animated WEBP will stay animated after conversion"
PSD does not support animation. Only a single frame will be saved. Use WebP or GIF to preserve animation.
