PSD Viewer Apps and Alternatives

PSD (short for Photoshop Document) was created to store an image that features layers, transparency, alpha channels or color spaces.

PSD image files also include ICC profiles, clipping paths and duotone settings, unlike other formats (GIF or EPS) that provide only predictable functionality content.

The default app used for opening PSD files is Photoshop, but some users who do not want to install it can also choose another image viewer that comes with support for this format (editing however, may be considerably restricted).

Most PSD viewers will offer users the possibility to export their PSD files to other graphic formats.
