How to open a .psd file

A .psd is a PSD file: Photoshop's native file, with layers, masks and adjustments intact. Windows Photos, macOS Preview, GIMP, Photoshop, any browser open it. Or drop it below: it opens and converts in your browser, nothing to install.

🔒 Nothing is uploaded. Check the Network tab of your browser: it stays empty.

  2. For a desktop app: Windows Photos, macOS Preview, GIMP, Photoshop, any browser.
  3. If it still will not open, convert it to MP4, that is what most people are really after.

Questions

What program opens a .psd file?

Windows Photos, macOS Preview, GIMP, Photoshop, any browser. Or drop it here, without installing anything.

Why won't my .psd open?

Either the viewer does not know PSD (photoshop's native file, with layers, masks and adjustments intact.), or the file is damaged or misnamed. Converting to MP4 fixes the first case.

Is it safe to open a .psd here?

Yes: the file is read in your browser and never leaves your device.
