How to Convert PSD to HEIC

Export PSD files to storage-efficient HEIC, no Photoshop required

Why Convert PSD to HEIC?

Layered PSD files from finished design projects are often kept around for archival purposes, but they take up far more storage than a flattened export needs. HEIC's HEVC-based compression can shrink that finished artwork dramatically, often to a small fraction of the original PSD file size, while still supporting 10-bit color depth and a full alpha channel for any transparency in your design.

This conversion is mainly useful for archiving finished design work in a space-efficient format once a project is complete, rather than as part of an active editing workflow, since HEIC doesn't retain any of the layer structure your PSD originally had.

How to Convert PSD to HEIC
  1. Install Turbo Batch Image Converter Pro on your Windows PC. Photoshop is not required.
  2. Open the app and select Batch Mode for multiple files, or Individual Mode for a single PSD.
  3. Drag your PSD file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
  4. Set the "From" format to PSD and the "To" format to HEIC.
  5. Adjust the quality setting to balance file size against visual detail.
  6. Click Convert. HEIC files are written to your output folder, fully offline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be able to re-edit my layers after converting to HEIC?

No, HEIC stores a flattened image with no layer data, so this conversion is best used once a project is complete rather than as an active editing format.

Should I keep my original PSD files after converting?

It's worth keeping the original PSD if you might need to re-edit individual layers later, since HEIC can't recreate that editable structure once flattened.

Can I batch-convert an entire archive of finished PSD projects?

Yes, Batch Mode with recursive folder scanning handles entire archives, including nested sub-folders, in a single run.
