Why Convert PSB to GIF?
Our engine reads a file built around extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: near-universal support for simple looping animation — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.
PSB is Photoshop's Large Document Format for very large files, commonly used for extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects. That focus comes with a real limitation: only opens reliably in Photoshop and a few compatible tools. GIF doesn't share that problem — its strength: near-universal support for simple looping animation.
GIF was built around simple looping animations and legacy web graphics, which is precisely the gap PSB leaves open, since it's designed around extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects instead.

Frequent Questions
What software works with the converted GIF file?
GIF is used by virtually every browser and platform. If you were working with Adobe Photoshop (which produces PSB), this conversion is the direct bridge between the two.
What's the real difference between PSB and GIF?
PSB is built around extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects (Photoshop's Large Document Format for very large files). GIF is built around simple looping animations and legacy web graphics instead (a 256-color indexed animation format) — different enough that this is a genuine format conversion, not just a rename.
Why does GIF exist as a separate format instead of everyone just using PSB?
Because they're built for different jobs — PSB is aimed at extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects, while GIF is aimed at simple looping animations and legacy web graphics. Neither format is "better," they just fit different parts of a workflow.
Can I convert the file back from GIF to PSB afterward?
Only what GIF actually carries can come back — anything specific to PSB's role in extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects that didn't survive the original conversion won't reappear.
Do I need any special settings before uploading my PSB file?
No special setup is required — upload the file as-is. PSB files meant for extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects convert most predictably; unusually exported or non-standard files are the most common reason a specific one might need extra attention.
