PS Online
Open editor

Free online PSD editor

Open a Photoshop document in your browser and keep working on it: layers, masks, adjustment layers, layer styles and live type all come through, and you can save it back to PSD when you're done.

Edit PSD files the way you already work

PS Online is built on PhotoCraft, an open-source editor designed to feel like Photoshop. When you open a PSD you get the document as its author built it, not a flattened preview:

  • Layers and groups with blend modes, opacity and fill
  • Layer masks and vector masks, editable with brushes and selections
  • Adjustment layers such as Curves, Levels, Hue/Saturation, Black & White and Gradient Map, all still live
  • Layer styles: Drop Shadow, Stroke, Outer Glow, Bevel & Emboss, overlays and more
  • Type layers you can click into and retype
  • Smart Objects and smart filters

The menus and shortcuts are where your hands expect them. Ctrl/⌘ J duplicates a layer, Ctrl/⌘ T is Free Transform, and Shift Ctrl/⌘ N makes a new layer.

How to open a PSD online

  1. Open the editor. It loads in a few seconds.
  2. Drag your .psd onto the window, or choose File › Open.
  3. Edit as usual. Toggle layers, tweak an adjustment, fix a typo in a headline.
  4. Choose File › Save to write a PSD, or File › Export › Export As for PNG, JPEG or WebP.

Large documents over 2 GB use the PSB format. PS Online opens PSB files too.

Private by design

Most "online PSD viewers" upload your file to their server. PS Online doesn't. The whole editor is a WebAssembly app running in your tab, so client work, unreleased designs and personal photos stay on your machine.

When you'd still want Photoshop

If your file depends on Photoshop-only features such as generative AI tools, or you need cloud documents and team libraries, Adobe Photoshop is still the tool for that. For opening, fixing and exporting PSDs quickly, especially on a machine without Photoshop, PS Online is usually enough. See the full comparison.

Questions

Can I edit a PSD file without Photoshop?
Yes. Drop the .psd onto PS Online or use File › Open. Layers, groups, masks, adjustment layers, layer styles and type layers open as editable layers, and File › Save writes a PSD again.
Is my PSD uploaded anywhere?
No. The editor runs entirely in your browser with WebAssembly. Opening reads the file from your disk and saving downloads it back. Nothing is sent to a server.
Will the PSD open correctly in Photoshop afterwards?
PS Online writes standard PSD files that keep layers, masks, adjustment layers and styles. As with any third-party editor, check complex documents before sending them on, especially ones that use features PS Online doesn't support yet.
