Open the editor
Open PSD files online — free, no Photoshop needed
OnlinePSDEditor opens Photoshop .psd files right in your browser. See every layer, switch layers on and off, edit text and masks, then save the file back as a PSD or export it as PNG or JPG. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and your file never leaves your device.
How to open a PSD file online
- Open the editor in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
- Drag your .psd file onto the page, or choose File › Open… (Ctrl+O, ⌘+O on a Mac). You can select several files at once; each opens in its own tab.
- Browse the layers in the Layers panel. Click the eye to hide or show a layer, click a layer to select it and edit it with the tools.
- Save with File › Save as PSD (Ctrl+S), or use File › Export As… to download a PNG, JPG or WebP image.
What you get when you open a PSD
| In the PSD | In OnlinePSDEditor |
|---|---|
| Pixel layers | Kept with their names, positions, visibility, opacity and blend modes |
| Groups and clipping masks | Kept as groups you can open, move and hide |
| Text layers | Editable type with the Type tool (one style per layer; text with several styles keeps its first style) |
| Layer masks | Editable masks, including density and feather |
| Adjustment layers | Common kinds stay live, including Levels, Curves, Hue/Saturation, Color Balance and Black & White |
| Layer styles | Drop Shadow, Stroke, Bevel & Emboss, glows, overlays and Satin |
| Shape layers | Solid-color shapes become editable vector shapes |
| Smart objects | Embedded smart objects stay smart, with their source content |
Anything the editor can't rebuild is shown as it was rendered in Photoshop, so the document still looks right.

Frequently asked questions
How do I open a PSD file without Photoshop?
Open OnlinePSDEditor in any modern browser and drag the .psd file onto the page, or use File › Open. The layers appear in the Layers panel, ready to view and edit. Nothing needs to be installed.
Is my PSD file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and edited by your browser on your own device. It is never sent to a server.
Can I open a PSD on a Chromebook, Linux PC or tablet?
Yes. The editor runs in modern browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS, and supports touch with pinch to zoom and two-finger pan.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. Very large PSDs are limited only by your device's memory and your browser's canvas limits.
