Why Convert PSB to PDF?
The short version: PSB is optimized for extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects, PDF is optimized for documents and print layouts, sometimes used as an image source, and this converter exists for the moment those two needs don't line up.
If you need a file built for documents and print layouts, sometimes used as an image source but only have one built for extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects, converting is usually the fastest path — PSB and PDF serve different enough purposes that recreating the asset from scratch rarely makes sense.
Our engine reads a file built around extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: preserves an exact page layout regardless of viewing platform — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.

Frequent Questions
What software works with the converted PDF file?
PDF is used by Adobe Acrobat and virtually every PDF viewer. If you were working with Adobe Photoshop (which produces PSB), this conversion is the direct bridge between the two.
Why does PDF 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 PDF is aimed at documents and print layouts, sometimes used as an image source. Neither format is "better," they just fit different parts of a workflow.
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.
What's the real difference between PSB and PDF?
PSB is built around extremely large or high-resolution layered Photoshop projects (Photoshop's Large Document Format for very large files). PDF is built around documents and print layouts, sometimes used as an image source instead (a document format that can also contain embedded images) — different enough that this is a genuine format conversion, not just a rename.
Can I convert the file back from PDF to PSB afterward?
Only what PDF 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.
