PSD to AVIF Converter
Turn PSD files into AVIF in seconds. Everything happens on your device: nothing is uploaded, and there's no limit.
Your images are processed in this browser tab and never uploaded.
Why convert PSD to AVIF?
Not everyone has Photoshop, and PSD files are too big to share.
AVIF gives the smallest files of any image format, ideal for fast websites.
What to expect
- Layers are flattened into one image, exactly as the document looks with its visible layers. The PSD needs to be saved with “Maximize compatibility” on (Photoshop's default).
- AVIF is lossy, so the file gets much smaller. At the default quality (90%) the difference is very hard to see; you can change it before converting.
- AVIF encoding takes a few seconds per large photo because it compresses much harder than other formats.

About the formats
PSD (Adobe Photoshop Document, 1990) is Photoshop's own working format. It keeps layers, masks and editing data, which makes files large and only readable in software that understands Photoshop documents.
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format, 2019) is the newest major image format, based on the AV1 video codec. It usually produces the smallest files of all, often half the size of JPG, with transparency and HDR support.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PSD to AVIF?
Drop your PSD files into the box above (or tap Select files), check the options, then press Convert. Each AVIF downloads on its own, or you can download them all as one ZIP file.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your PSD files are never sent to a server, so they stay private, and it works even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Is there a limit on how many PSD files I can convert?
No. Convert as many as you like, for free, without signing up. Very large batches are processed one after another so your browser stays responsive.
Do I need Photoshop?
No. The PSD is read in your browser. You get the flattened image as it appears in Photoshop. Files saved without “Maximize compatibility” don't contain that image; re-save them with it on.
Will I lose quality converting to AVIF?
AVIF uses lossy compression, but at the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. Move the Quality slider up for the highest fidelity or down for smaller files.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install.
