PSD Won't Open? Convert to PNG Instantly
Fast, instant PSD to PNG conversion. No signup required. Just drop your .psd file and get .png in seconds.
Batch Settings
HDR data will be tone-mapped
Your PSD file may contain HDR (High Dynamic Range) data. PNG only supports standard dynamic range (SDR). Highlights and shadows will be compressed to fit the 8-bit range — subtle detail in very bright or dark areas may be lost.
Layers will be flattened
PSD supports multiple layers, but PNG does not. All layers will be merged into a single flat image. Keep your original PSD file if you need to edit individual layers later.
Some metadata may not survive
Your PSD file may contain EXIF, IPTC, XMP metadata. PNG has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
CMYK → RGB color conversion
Your PSD file uses CMYK color space (designed for print). PNG uses RGB. Colors will be converted — some print-specific colors (especially deep blues and vivid oranges) may shift slightly. For critical color matching, use a calibrated ICC profile.
设计师把心血都压在PSD文件里——图层、蒙版、调整层，改起来方便，但发出去就是另一回事了。客户打不开，微信传不了，手机预览直接显示问号。PNG格式恰好填上这个缺口：透明背景保留完整，画质不打折，任何设备都能直接看。无论你是要把UI稿交给开发、把素材丢进游戏引擎，还是单纯想把作品发到朋友圈，把PSD转成PNG这一步都省不了。操作不复杂，但找对工具能少走很多弯路。
- 微信表情包与贴纸制作上传
- 手游UI切图交付给Unity或Cocos开发
- 电商主图及详情页素材导出
在台湾与新加坡的设计团队中，PNG因支持透明通道而成为LINE贴图审核的标准提交格式；大陆这边微信表情开放平台同样只接受PNG，直接用PSD投稿会被拒件。

Your PSD file is decoded — the compressed/stored pixel data is expanded into raw RGBA (with alpha channel) pixels
HDR data is tone-mapped to standard dynamic range (8-bit per channel)
Pixels are re-encoded using Portable Network Graphics's lossless compression
Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where PNG supports it
The PNG file is saved and ready for download

Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my PSD file open?
PSD files may not open if your device lacks the right codec or application. Converting to PNG — a more widely supported format — usually resolves this. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it perfect for graphics, logos, and screenshots.
Is it safe to convert PSD to PNG online?
Yes. CocoConvert encrypts your file via TLS, processes it on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deletes it within 24 hours. Your files are never shared or analysed.
Will I lose quality converting PSD to PNG?
Your PSD file may contain HDR (High Dynamic Range) data. PNG only supports standard dynamic range (SDR). Highlights and shadows will be compressed to fit the 8-bit range — subtle detail in very bright or dark areas may be lost. CocoConvert uses high-quality encoder defaults to preserve as much fidelity as possible.
How large can my PSD file be?
Free users can convert files up to 250 MB each. Pro users get a 5 GB limit per file, and Business API users have custom limits.
Can I convert PSD to PNG on my phone?
Absolutely. CocoConvert works in any modern browser — iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and all desktop browsers. No app required.
