FigpeaPhotoshop won't open your PSD?
Far more often than not, the problem is Photoshop rather than the file: a lapsed subscription, a version that predates the file, missing fonts, or a document too large for the memory it was given. Figpea has none of those requirements — it reads the PSD on your own device and shows you the layers.

Groups, artboards, text, shapes, fills and gradients, masks, and layer effects.
A straight answer on a broken file
A damaged header is reported in plain language, never quietly ignored or guessed at.
Read on your device
Your file is read in your browser and is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Why won't Photoshop open my PSD file?
The common causes are a Creative Cloud subscription that has lapsed, a Photoshop older than the version that wrote the file, fonts that are missing on this machine, a document large enough to exhaust the memory Photoshop was allocated — or, less often, a genuinely damaged file. Only the last of those is a problem with the PSD itself.
Do I need Photoshop or a Creative Cloud subscription?
Neither. Figpea opens the PSD in your browser with no Adobe software installed, no licence, and no account of any kind.
Will a large PSD or a PSB file open?
Yes — Figpea reads both standard PSD documents and the large-document PSB format. Size is bounded by the memory your browser has available rather than by an application setting.
What if my PSD really is damaged?
Then Figpea will refuse it too, and say so. Its PSD reader validates the file's header strictly, so a corrupted header is rejected rather than guessed at — you get one plain-language message naming the file type and what went wrong, instead of a silent failure. Figpea cannot repair a damaged PSD, and neither can anything else that claims to.
Is my PSD uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read on your own device by code running in your browser, so it never leaves your machine and there is nothing to delete afterwards.
What can I do once the file is open?
Browse the layer tree, toggle layers on and off, select any layer to read its size, position, and styling, copy its CSS, read the text in text layers, and export a layer as a PNG, WebP, or SVG file at 1x for free.
