Photoshop PSD to PDF

Why convert PSD to PDF?

The main difference: PSD is a lossless format, while PDF is a document format. PDF is supported almost everywhere; PSD isn't.

Works on every device

Plenty of apps and websites can't read PSD (none (needs Photoshop or a compatible editor)). A PDF copy opens on any phone, tablet, computer or browser, so you can view, upload or send the picture without hunting for special software.

Transparent areas stay transparent

PSD and PDF both handle transparency, so anything see-through in the original is still see-through after conversion.

One file to print, email or submit

A PDF looks identical on every screen and printer, and it's the format most application forms, schools and offices want.

What is a Photoshop PSD file?

PSD (Photoshop Document) is Adobe Photoshop's native file format. It saves everything you're working on - layers, masks, text, adjustment layers and effects - so you can keep editing later.

PSD files are often huge and can only be fully edited in Photoshop or compatible apps. To share or post the design, you need a flattened image like JPG or PNG.

How to open a Photoshop PSD file

Adobe Photoshop opens PSD files fully. Photopea (free, in the browser), GIMP and Affinity Photo open most of them; Mac Preview and Quick Look show a flattened preview. Converting gives you the final image without needing Photoshop.

Extension: .psd
Contains: Layers, masks, text, effects

What is a PDF file?

PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe in 1993 to make documents look identical on every screen and printer. A PDF can contain text, vector graphics and images across any number of pages.

It's the standard for forms, contracts, resumes, school assignments and anything you print or submit. Turning photos and scans into a PDF bundles them into one tidy, universally readable file.

How to open a PDF file

Every web browser opens PDFs, as do Mac Preview, the Files app on iPhone and the free Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows, Mac and Android. To get pictures out of a PDF, convert its pages to JPG or PNG.

Extension: .pdf
Contains: Text, vectors and images
Pages: One or many
