PNG is what a logo, an icon, a cut-out product or an interface element should leave Photoshop as. It keeps transparency, it does not blur flat colour or small text, and every browser, office program and design tool places it without trouble. If the PSD in front of you is that kind of artwork, PNG is the format to convert it to.
The page reads the finished picture Photoshop stores inside the PSD and writes it as a PNG. Areas that are transparent in the design stay transparent; nothing is recompressed with loss. Photoshop's own rendering of effects, text and blend modes is what you get, because it is Photoshop's saved result that is being read. PSB files work too.
The layers themselves are not exported one by one: you get the whole canvas as it was last saved. And the file must have been saved with Maximize Compatibility, Photoshop's default; without it there is no finished picture inside to read. For large photographic designs the PNG can be heavy; lower the size in the editor or switch to WebP, which also keeps transparency in a smaller file. Your Photoshop file is encrypted in transit and deleted within the hour.
Check that the transparency is really there
A PNG can only be transparent where the PSD was. Many Photoshop files have a Background layer at the bottom of the stack, the locked white one every new document starts with. As long as that layer is visible, the saved picture is opaque, and the PNG arrives on white however the artwork above it was built.
There are two ways to deal with it. If someone can open the file in Photoshop, ask them to hide or delete the Background layer and save again; the chequered pattern in Photoshop then confirms the transparency, and the next conversion keeps it. If nobody can, convert the file as it is and put the PNG through the background remover on this site to clear the white.
Assets for a website or an app
Developers are often handed a PSD and asked to build from it. With this page and the editor's tools you can get quite far without Photoshop. Convert the file, then use Crop to isolate an element such as a logo, a button or an illustration, and Resize to produce it at the size the layout needs. For high-density screens make a second copy at twice that size.
The whole canvas is converted each time, so pulling six elements out of one design means cropping six times from the same upload. It is slower than an export panel and entirely workable for a handful of assets.
Keeping the PNG light
A design that mixes photographs with transparency makes a heavy PNG, often several megabytes at full size. Three settings help, in rising order of effect. Resize to the dimensions you will really use, since a web banner has no need for the 5000 pixels of a print layout. Lower the quality below 90 for flat artwork, which stores the colours as a palette and keeps soft edges. Or switch the format to WebP, which holds the same transparency in a fraction of the bytes and displays in every current browser.
Frequently asked questions
Is the transparent background kept?
Yes. Transparency in the design is transparency in the PNG.
Can I export a single layer?
No. The whole canvas is converted as it was last saved. Hide the other layers in Photoshop and save again to get one layer.
Does it support PSB files?
Yes, up to the file size your plan allows: 20 MB on the free plan, 200 MB with Pro.
Will fonts and effects look right?
Yes. The picture was rendered by Photoshop when the file was saved, so nothing is re-drawn here.
A design with artboards came out as one wide image. Why?
The saved picture covers the whole document, so all artboards appear next to each other on one canvas. Cut out the one you need with the crop tool.
Does it read PSD files made by GIMP, Affinity or other programs?
Usually. Most programs that export PSD include the flattened picture this page reads. If one does not, the result is blank and the file needs to be saved again from Photoshop.
