Free PSB to PNG conversion online, with the real pixel decoding and image re-encoding behavior, what gets lost, and a concrete way to check the output.
Photoshop large document data for canvases or file sizes beyond ordinary psd limits is decoded into a working pixel canvas first, then written back out under PNG's own color and compression model. Dimensions can stay exactly the same even as encoding, metadata, and fine detail change underneath. PSB parsing extends the Photoshop document model to very large canvases while retaining layers, masks, channels, effects, smart objects, and color data. PNG delivery preserves exact raster samples with optional full alpha and color metadata, but file size, palette reduction, animation absence, and profile handling still vary.
Canvas decoded from Photoshop Large Document data for canvases or file sizes beyond ordinary PSD limits. Image written as pixels written losslessly with a full alpha channel available.
Used for pixel-based artwork, scans, and photographs.
Designed for lossless images and transparency.
Choose PNG when its particular balance of compatibility, alpha, animation, and file size matches the destination better than PSB.
Many PSD-compatible tools do not support PSB, and a flattened export loses large-document layers, masks, and smart objects.
PNG is a poor fit for photographic detail, and even without any JPEG-style loss, palette reduction can visibly simplify a smooth gradient.
pixels written losslessly with a full alpha channel available is what gets written, labeled as image/png. Whether that actually opens depends on the receiving application, not on the file extension.
Verify canvas dimensions, bit depth, layer count, masks, type, smart objects, and saved composite in a PSB-aware editor.
Zoom to 100% on transparent edges, gradients, and small text, and confirm the exact pixel dimensions.
