Compatibility Notices
Document Layers
A quick look. A small edit. An image to share.
Open a design someone sent you without installing Photoshop. Keep the original PSD on your device.
Selective Text Editing
Modify typography in supported text layers. Unsupported formatting remains strictly read-only with transparent warnings.
Download a PNG or JPG
Export the current preview as a flat image. PNG keeps available transparency; JPEG uses a white background.
Know what you can change
Viewing a file does not mean every effect can be edited. Unsupported documents stay read-only rather than losing parts of the design.
| Photoshop Feature | Support Level | Behavior & Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Document Preview & Composite | When available | Reads the saved preview in supported PSD files. Files without a usable preview may not open. |
| Layer Tree & Hierarchy | Supported PSDs | Inspect names and the layer hierarchy within the file and pixel limits. |
| Layer Visibility Toggle | Simple documents | Enabled only when the document can be safely re-composited. Complex documents remain read-only. |
| Simple Text Layer Editing | Supported | Text content updates with system font substitution approximation. |
| Smart Objects & Linked Assets | Read-Only | Rendered via composite; internal embedded objects cannot be edited. |
| Vector Masks & Adjustment Layers | Read-Only | Inspected in layer list; parametric adjustment controls remain read-only. |
| Original File Overwrite | Protected | Your local file on disk is never modified or overwritten. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about opening and editing Photoshop files online.
How does EditPico open PSD files without Photoshop?
EditPico reads the PSD with a JavaScript parser running in a separate browser worker. It displays the saved preview and layer information locally. Complex files may stay read-only or be rejected if their format or size is unsupported.
Is my proprietary PSD file uploaded to any server?
No file upload is needed. The editor loads its processing code when you first open a file, then processes your PSD locally. Website assets still require a connection until they have loaded; this is not an installable offline app.
Why are some text layers or layer effects marked as read-only?
This lightweight editor does not reproduce every Photoshop feature. Masks, advanced blending, smart objects and complex text layouts can require a different rendering engine. When a document cannot be safely changed, the workbench explains why and keeps it read-only.
Can I export my modifications back to a .PSD file?
No. This version exports flat PNG and JPEG images only. Keep your original PSD if you need to continue editing its layers in Photoshop.
What file size limits apply?
The editor checks file size, dimensions, layer count and the total pixel budget before decoding. A small compressed file can still be expensive to open. Files outside the supported limits are rejected with a readable explanation; available memory also depends on your device.
