Convert PSB to PSD

Understanding PSB and PSD file formats

PSB (Photoshop Big) is an extension of the PSD format, designed to handle larger files. It supports files up to 300,000 pixels in any dimension and is used for very large images that exceed the limitations of the standard PSD format.

PSD (Photoshop Document) is the default file format for Adobe Photoshop. It is widely used for storing image data with support for layers, masks, and other Photoshop-specific features. PSD files are limited to 30,000 pixels in width and height.

How to convert PSB to PSD

Converting a PSB file to a PSD file involves reducing the file size and dimensions to fit within the PSD limitations. This can be done using Adobe Photoshop, which natively supports both formats.

Steps to convert using Adobe Photoshop

1. Open the PSB file in Adobe Photoshop.
2. Ensure the image dimensions are within 30,000 x 30,000 pixels. If not, resize the image using Image → Image Size.
3. Go to File → Save As.
4. Select Photoshop from the format dropdown menu to save as a PSD file.
5. Click Save to complete the conversion.
