Layer stack fidelity
Groups, visibility, opacity, blend modes, layer offsets and clipping relationships are reconstructed so the document composites the way it did in Photoshop.

PSD Editor
Open layered Photoshop files, edit text and effects, and export a layered PSD again.
A PSD is more than a flat picture: it is a stack of decisions. photos-assemb reads that stack with ag-psd, keeps groups, masks, blend modes, adjustment layers, editable text metadata and native layer effects, and writes a layered PSD back out.
It is a focused browser editor, not a byte-for-byte Photoshop clone. Smart objects are rasterised on import, and a few exotic adjustment types are approximated. For the layer work most retouchers actually hand off, the round trip is practical.

What you can do
PSD editor, in detail.
Open PSD and PSB files in your browser. Edit layers, groups, masks, adjustment layers, text, layer effects and vector masks, then export a layered PSD or flat image.
Editable type
Text layers keep their content, font, size, colour, tracking, stroke and shadow metadata. Reopen the Type tool to change the words, not just the pixels.
Native adjustments
Brightness/Contrast, Levels, Curves, Exposure, Vibrance, Hue/Saturation, Colour Balance, Black & White, Photo Filter and more are imported as adjustment layers.
Layer effects
Drop shadow, inner shadow, outer and inner glow, stroke, colour and gradient overlay and bevel are read and re-exported as native effects.
Masks and vector masks
Pixel masks and rasterised vector masks come through the import pipeline. Mask density, feather and linked state remain editable.
Layered PSD export
Export a layered PSD with adjustment layers, text metadata, effects and masks — not just a flattened image.
How it works
From file to finish in three moves.
No install step and no import queue. Open the editor, work on the document locally, and export the file your next tool expects.
Try it now- 1
Open the PSD
Drop a .psd or .psb into the editor. The layer stack, groups and editable metadata are parsed locally in the tab.
- 2
Retouch the layers
Paint on masks, move layers, replace type, adjust effects, or add new adjustment layers and filters.
- 3
Export the handoff
Write a layered PSD for the next editor, or a flattened PNG/JPEG/TIFF for delivery. The original file stays untouched on disk.
Who it is for
Built for real photo work.
These are the workflows the tool is designed around — not a list of theoretical features.
- Retouchers receiving a layered template and needing to swap copy or imagery without a desktop licence.
- Designers who need a quick PSD preview and a small text or colour fix on a tablet.
- Photographers delivering layered composites to a client without a round trip through desktop software.
- Teams reviewing a PSD in a browser and exporting a clean flat file for the web.
Questions
PSD editor FAQ
Straight answers about formats, privacy and limits.
Does it preserve every PSD feature?
No. Groups, masks, blend modes, text, most adjustment layers and native effects survive. Smart objects are rasterised, and some uncommon adjustment or effect combinations are approximated. Always keep the original PSD.
Can I edit text in a PSD?
Yes. Text layers imported with editable metadata can be changed with the Type tool and re-exported. Text that was already rasterised in the source file stays pixels.
Does it support PSB?
PSB files are accepted by the same import path. Very large documents are limited by browser memory rather than an artificial file-size cap.
Can I export a layered PSD?
Yes. The export includes layers, groups, masks, adjustment layers, text metadata and native effects where the source model can represent them.
