Editors’ Review

Download.com staff

PSD Viewer by IdeaMK is a free program used for opening Adobe Photoshop PSD files, no Photoshop required. This tool, with its user-friendly interface, displays standard PSD layers and supports different color types. While you can't edit files, you can zoom, rotate, and convert PSD files to formats like JPG, PNG, GIF, or BMP. 

PSD Viewer is a utility for quick file inspection and format conversion, so you don't need any large editing software. If you only need to view and convert PSD files, this makes it an option, saving you the expense and complexity of a full Photoshop installation.

View, zoom, convert

PSD Viewer focuses on essential file access. The interface loads PSD files into a simple window with navigation and zoom tools. You can browse image layers visually, though you can't modify or manipulate them. It limits itself to read-only functions but handles large-format PSD files without additional unpacking steps. You can load files through the main menu or by dragging and dropping them when the program launches.

It also has built-in tools to convert files. When you open a PSD file, you can save the image as a JPG, PNG, GIF, or BMP. You can't convert many files at once, and you can't change things like quality or size when you save. It converts the entire visible image without batch options or quality controls, focusing on quick previews over production.

You can rotate and zoom images in the viewer. These tools only change how you see the picture. You can only rotate images by turning them 90 degrees at a time. The zoom lets you make the picture bigger or smaller by a percentage. Every time you open a new file, these settings go back to normal because the program doesn't remember your last settings.

Bottom Line

Simple file viewing without editing

PSD Viewer is a lightweight, read-only tool for quick viewing and conversion of PSD files to common image formats. It offers basic navigation, rotation, and zoom, making it ideal for inspecting PSD content or read-only access to PSD content without needing Adobe Photoshop. It lacks editing, layer control, or image adjustment features. It's designed for quick inspection, not editing or layer manipulation.
