Photo Editor (Layers, PSD).

Edit photos in your browser with layers, selections, brushes, text, shapes, crop, clone stamp and about 40 effects; open and save PSD files with their layers, or export PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP or TIFF.

Files stay on this device: nothing is uploaded.

How to use Photo Editor (Layers, PSD)

Open an image or a PSD (or drop it on the editor), work with the tools on the left and the Layers panel on the right, then use File → Export for an image or File → Save As for a layered PSD or project file.

How it works

The editor is a PasteZap build of miniPaint 4.14.3 (MIT) that runs entirely in your browser; PSD files are read and written with ag-psd (MIT). Image search, URL import and Google Fonts were removed, so your files and the page never contact another service.

Example

A PSD with a background and a 50 % “multiply” shadow layer opens with both layers, their names, positions, opacity and blend mode; Save As → PSD writes them back as separate layers.

Edit a photo with layers

Open an image or a PSD with File → Open, or drop the file on the editor. Several images open as separate layers.
Pick a tool on the left: selection, brush, pencil, eraser, magic eraser, fill, gradient, text, shapes, crop, clone stamp, blur, sharpen or bulge/pinch.
Use the Layers panel on the right to add, hide, reorder, rename, merge or change the opacity and blend mode of each layer.
Apply adjustments from the Image and Effects menus: brightness, contrast, hue, auto colours, Gaussian blur, sepia, Instagram-style filters, vignette, tilt-shift and more.
Save with File → Export for a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP or TIFF image, or File → Save As for a layered PSD or a JSON project.

Open and save PSD files

PSD files open with each pixel layer, its name, position, opacity, visibility and blend mode. Layers inside groups are named after their group, for example “Group / Layer”.

Supported: 8-bit RGB or grayscale PSD files up to 100 megapixels in total.
Text layers and smart objects open as pixels; adjustment layers and layer styles are not kept, and a message lists what was skipped.
Save As → PSD writes every layer as a pixel layer. Text, shape and rotated layers are converted to pixels, and parts of a layer outside the canvas are cut off.
CMYK and 16-bit files are refused with a message instead of opening with wrong colours.

Privacy and limits

The editor runs entirely in your browser; images and PSD files are not uploaded.
Quick Save keeps one project in this browser’s storage (up to 5 MB); use Save As for anything important.
Menus follow the page language, but translations are not reviewed by native speakers and some messages stay in English.
For quick single jobs, the Image Compressor and the Background Remover are faster.

Questions about Photo Editor (Layers, PSD)

Can I open a Photoshop PSD file online for free?

Yes. Open the PSD with File → Open or drop it on the editor. Pixel layers keep their names, positions, opacity and blend modes; text and smart objects arrive as pixels.

Can I save my work as a PSD with layers?

Yes. Choose File → Save As and the PSD format. Each layer is saved as a separate pixel layer that Photoshop and other PSD editors can open.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser, and the editor does not contact any outside service.

Is this the same as Photoshop?

No. It covers everyday editing with layers, selections, brushes, text and effects, but it has no adjustment layers, layer styles, masks or CMYK support.

Is Photo Editor (Layers, PSD) free, and do I need an account?

Yes. This tool is free to use in your browser without an account. Processing takes place on your device.

What are the limits and what should I check?

PSD: 8-bit RGB or grayscale files up to 100 megapixels in total. Layer groups become named layers, text and smart objects open as pixels, and adjustment layers and layer styles are not kept. Text, shape and rotated layers are saved to PSD as pixels. Menus are translated without native review; some messages stay in English.
