PSD is Photoshop's native file format, built to store layers, masks, and other editable elements that a flat PNG doesn't have. Converting a PNG to PSD doesn't add that editable layer structure back in — since the PNG is already a single flattened image, the result is a single-layer PSD file containing the same image, including any transparency from PNG's alpha channel, just saved in a format Photoshop and similar tools recognize natively.
This is mainly useful as a starting point for further editing: once your PNG graphic or photo is in PSD format, you can open it in Photoshop and begin layering new elements, adjustments, or masks on top of the original image.

- Click Convert. PSD files are written to the output folder, fully offline.
- 100% offline — your images are never uploaded anywhere
- Bulk conversion of entire folders, including sub-folders, in one click
- Preserves transparency from PNG's alpha channel in the PSD output
- Produces PSD files that open natively in Photoshop and compatible editors
- Multi-core processing for fast handling of large batches
- Option to delete original PNG files automatically after conversion
Will my converted PSD have multiple layers?
No, since the source PNG is a single flattened image, the resulting PSD file will contain just one layer with the same image content and transparency.
Will transparency from my PNG be preserved?
Yes, since both formats support an alpha channel, transparent areas in the original PNG carry over into the PSD layer.
Can I convert a whole folder of PNGs to PSD at once?
Yes, Batch Mode handles entire folders, including nested sub-folders, in a single conversion run.
