Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert a PNG to PSD?

Because PSD is the working format of a design studio. Handing over a PSD means the file opens natively in Photoshop, sits correctly in a design handoff and can be built on with layers, masks and adjustments. Printers, agencies and clients often ask for PSD specifically, and a PNG, however good, is a finished picture rather than a working document.

Will my PNG come back with layers?

No, and that is worth being clear about. A PNG is a single flat image, so the layers it may once have had are long gone. The PSD you get holds that image on one layer, correctly sized and with its transparency intact, which is the right starting point for adding new layers on top. No conversion can invent layer structure that the source file never stored.

Is it free to use?

Yes, it is free to use online, the file comes back without a watermark and there is nothing to install. Upload the PNG and download the PSD. The usual alternative is buying a Photoshop subscription purely to perform a save as, which is an expensive way to change a file extension when you are not going to edit the artwork.

Does the transparency survive?

Yes. PNG stores transparency in an alpha channel and PSD supports transparency natively, so a cut out logo or a subject on an empty background stays that way. That is the main reason to go through PSD rather than JPEG, which has no alpha channel at all and would fill every transparent pixel with flat white.

Can developers convert to PSD automatically?

Yes. Format conversion is a delivery transformation in the Cloudinary API, so one stored original can be served as PNG to the web and PSD to a design team from the same URL. That removes a whole class of manual export work from any system where the same asset has to reach both a browser and a studio.
