What is the PSD file format?

PSD is Adobe Photoshop’s native layered raster format that preserves editable content (layers, masks, effects, text) for professional image editing workflows.

PSD file characteristics

Data type	Image
MIME type	image/vnd.adobe.photoshop

Color space	RGB, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale, Bitmap, Indexed, Duotone, Multichannel (depends on document mode)
Transparency support	Yes
EXIF / Metadata support	Yes
Metadata	Supports embedded metadata and profiles via Image Resources: ICC profiles, IPTC, XMP; Exif data may also be embedded as a resource block depending on workflow.
Structure type	File Header; Color Mode Data; Image Resources; Layer and Mask Information; Image Data (pixel planes in planar order).
Standard / Specification	Adobe Photoshop File Formats Specification (PSD/PSB)
Typical file size	Often large: from a few MB to hundreds of MB+ depending on resolution, layer count, embedded resources, and bit depth.
Max file size	PSD has practical limits: up to 2 GB per file; for larger documents use PSB (Large Document Format).
Year introduced	1990

Advantages

The PSD file format offers several advantages that make it suitable for common use cases.

Preserves layers, masks, selections/channels, text and effects;
Supports high bit depth (up to 32-bit per channel) and multiple color modes;
Good metadata/profile support;
Strong ecosystem support in pro tools.

Limitations

The PSD file format has certain limitations that may affect its use in specific scenarios.

Max dimensions 30,000×30,000 px and ~2 GB file size for PSD (use PSB for larger). Feature fidelity varies outside Photoshop;
Layered effects and some advanced constructs may not round-trip perfectly.

Compatibility

PSD images are widely supported and can be viewed on most devices and platforms.

Supported platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux (via Photoshop-compatible editors and libraries)
Supported devices: Computers and professional graphics pipelines
Browser support: No
Mobile support: No
Cloud support: No
Backward compatibility: Yes

Security considerations

Treat PSD as untrusted input: the format is complex and decoder bugs exist; huge dimensions/layer counts can cause resource exhaustion. Strip embedded metadata if privacy matters.

License

Proprietary format with publicly available specification (partially documented; best compatibility in Adobe/Photoshop ecosystem)

PSD (Adobe Photoshop Document) is a proprietary but publicly documented file format designed to store Photoshop projects with maximum editability. A PSD file is organized into structured sections (header, color mode data, image resources, layer/mask info, and image data) and can include layers, alpha channels, masks, adjustment layers, layer effects, and embedded metadata/profiles. It is widely supported by many graphics tools, but full fidelity is best in Photoshop-compatible software.
