About Photoshop (PSD)
PSD is the native document format of Adobe Photoshop. It keeps layers, masks, adjustment layers and text, alongside a flattened preview of the whole image.
Working files for photo editing and design in Photoshop and compatible editors.
Only Photoshop and a few other editors read every PSD feature; other programs see just the flattened image.

Why can’t I open a PSD file without Photoshop? It is a layered working document, not a finished image, and programs without a Photoshop engine show only a flattened preview — exporting to JPG or PNG gives everyone a viewable copy.
About WebP
WebP is an image format released by Google in 2010. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation.
Websites use it to serve images smaller than the equivalent JPEG or PNG; all current browsers display it.
Some older desktop software and many print services still do not accept WebP files.
Why convert images to WebP? It cuts file sizes by a quarter to a third compared with JPG at the same quality, and every current browser displays it.
What changes when you convert PSD to WebP
- The PSD is turned into a single finished WebP picture; extra data a PSD file can hold, such as RAW sensor data, layers or additional images, does not carry over.
- The PSD layers are merged into one flat image; the WebP does not keep them as separate, editable layers.
- RAW demosaicing is best-effort; results vary by camera.
Settings you can change
Before you convert PSD to WebP, you can adjust: Width, Height, Scale fit, Crop position, Never enlarge, Quality, Lossless, Progressive, Remove metadata, Auto-orient from EXIF, Rotate, and Background.

Your converted WebP file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
