Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PSD to PDF conversion free?

Yes, completely free. Convert PSD to PDF with no cost, no signup, and no watermarks.

Are all PSD layers flattened?

Yes. All visible layers are composited into a single flat image and embedded in the PDF, preserving blending modes, opacity, and layer effects as they appear in the final composite.

Do I need Photoshop to use this?

No. This converter processes PSD files independently of Adobe software. You don't need Photoshop or any Adobe subscription.

Is my PSD file uploaded to a server?

Yes. PSD to PDF conversion requires server-side processing. Your file is encrypted during transfer and automatically deleted immediately after conversion.

Is the PDF quality good enough for printing?

Yes. The PDF preserves the full resolution of your PSD design. It is suitable for both web viewing and professional print production.

What about PSD files with CMYK color mode?

CMYK PSD files are supported. The PDF output preserves color fidelity, though some color profile differences may occur during the conversion process.

Are hidden layers included?

No. Only visible layers are composited in the final PDF, matching what you would see in Photoshop with the current layer visibility settings.

What happens to transparency?

Transparent areas in your PSD will be rendered with a white background in the PDF output, as PDF viewers typically display a white background.

What is the maximum file size?

PSD files up to 100 MB are supported. Very large PSDs with many layers may take 10-15 seconds to process.

Can I convert PSB (Large Document) files?

PSB files (Photoshop's large document format for images over 30,000 pixels) are supported, though very large files may take longer to process.
