Why Convert PSD to PNG?
PNG was built around graphics, logos, and screenshots needing sharp, exact detail, which is precisely the gap PSD leaves open, since it's designed around editable, layered image projects instead.
Our engine reads a file built around editable, layered image projects and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: lossless compression plus full alpha transparency support — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.
PSD works well for editable, layered image projects, but has a real limitation: flattening is required before most other software can use it. Converting trades that for this: lossless compression plus full alpha transparency support.

Frequent Questions
Can I convert the file back from PNG to PSD afterward?
Only what PNG actually carries can come back — anything specific to PSD's role in editable, layered image projects that didn't survive the original conversion won't reappear.
Why does PNG exist as a separate format instead of everyone just using PSD?
Because they're built for different jobs — PSD is aimed at editable, layered image projects, while PNG is aimed at graphics, logos, and screenshots needing sharp, exact detail. Neither format is "better," they just fit different parts of a workflow.
What's the real difference between PSD and PNG?
PSD is built around editable, layered image projects (Adobe Photoshop's native layered format). PNG is built around graphics, logos, and screenshots needing sharp, exact detail instead (a lossless raster format with alpha transparency) — different enough that this is a genuine format conversion, not just a rename.
How long does the conversion take?
Most conversions finish in 10-30 seconds. Larger or more complex files can take up to a minute.
Do I need Adobe Photoshop installed to convert my file?
No — the conversion happens entirely on our servers. You don't need Adobe Photoshop, and you don't need virtually every image editor and platform either unless you plan to open or edit the PNG result afterward.
