Open PSD files on a Mac
You do not need Photoshop to open a PSD on a Mac. QuickPSD runs entirely in your browser, so any modern Mac with Safari, Chrome, or Firefox can open a PSD in seconds.
Because the file is parsed locally, nothing is uploaded to a server. That means faster opening for large files and full privacy for your work.
Step by step
- 1Open the QuickPSD editor in your browser.
- 2Drag your PSD file onto the page, or click to pick it from your device.
- 3Wait a moment while the file is parsed locally - nothing is uploaded.
- 4Inspect the layers, make quick edits, and export when you are done.
Frequently asked questions
Can I open a PSD on a Mac without Photoshop?
Yes. QuickPSD opens PSD files in the browser, so you do not need Photoshop or any installed software.
Does Preview open PSD files on Mac?
Preview can show a flattened version of some PSD files but cannot read layers. QuickPSD reads the layer structure and lets you toggle and export layers.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The PSD is parsed in your browser and never leaves your Mac.
