Photoshop PSB to PostScript

Why convert PSB to PostScript?

The main difference: PSB is a lossless format, while PostScript is a vector format. PSB can have a transparent background, PostScript can't.

Where PostScript works best

PostScript is ideal for print jobs and printer workflows. Converting gives you a file that works in the apps and websites that ask for PostScript.

What is a Photoshop PSB file?

PSB (Photoshop Big) is Photoshop's large document format. It works like PSD, with layers and effects, but allows images up to 300,000 pixels wide and files bigger than 2 GB.

You'll find PSB files in panoramas, large-format print, billboard design and high-resolution scans - anything too big for a regular PSD.

How to open a Photoshop PSB file

Adobe Photoshop opens PSB files. Few other apps do, and their size makes them hard to share, so converting to JPG, PNG or TIFF is the usual way to view or send the final image.

What is a PostScript file?

PostScript (.ps) is Adobe's page description language from 1984 - the language many professional printers speak. A .ps file describes a whole page or document as instructions for drawing text, shapes and images.

PostScript files mostly come from print workflows and "print to file" output. PDF was built on the same ideas and has replaced it for everyday use.

How to open a PostScript file

Ghostscript and GSview open PostScript files on Windows; macOS Preview handled them up to Monterey. Adobe Acrobat Distiller converts them to PDF. Converting to PDF or PNG is the easiest way to view one today.
