Rendered composition
Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.

What happens when you convert PSD to HEIC?
HDR display encoding
Creates a lossy, opaque 8-bit sRGB HEIC using this device’s native encoder. Original P3/HDR precision is not retained. Availability is checked on this device using native WebCodecs.
Encoding mode
Creates a lossy, opaque 8-bit sRGB HEIC using this device’s native encoder. Original P3/HDR precision is not retained.

Good choice when
- HEIC fits your delivery use: Device photography & image collections.
- You need a rendered delivery copy of the composition.
- You need HDR-capable delivery and can validate its encoding and colour signalling.
- You need a transparency-capable destination and will check its supported variant.
Probably not when
- You must keep masks, layer effects or editable text.
- You require guaranteed scene-linear values or HDR appearance.
- You assume format-level alpha support guarantees matching transparent edges.
- You need a guaranteed output file size or archival pixel equality. Encoder settings do not guarantee either.

- Encoding mode
- Creates a lossy, opaque 8-bit sRGB HEIC using this device’s native encoder. Original P3/HDR precision is not retained.
- Sample precision & colour
- Creates a lossy, opaque 8-bit sRGB HEIC using this device’s native encoder. Original P3/HDR precision is not retained. Availability is checked on this device using native WebCodecs.
- Metadata & colour
- Creates a lossy, opaque 8-bit sRGB HEIC using this device’s native encoder. Original P3/HDR precision is not retained. Availability is checked on this device using native WebCodecs.
- Compression
- PSD: Lossless → HEIC: Lossy & lossless PSD: PSD channel compression is lossless, but a document may contain previously lossy source assets. Composite rendering and layer editing are different capabilities; this page does not claim portable animation playback. HEIC: HEIC commonly uses lossy HEVC; HEVC also has lossless coding tools. Actual quality, bit depth and chroma depend on the encoded profile and settings, not on the .heic extension.
- Transparency
- Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options. Creates a lossy, opaque 8-bit sRGB HEIC using this device’s native encoder. Original P3/HDR precision is not retained.
- Animation
- Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.
- Colour depth
- Creates a lossy, opaque 8-bit sRGB HEIC using this device’s native encoder. Original P3/HDR precision is not retained.
- HDR
- Creates a lossy, opaque 8-bit sRGB HEIC using this device’s native encoder. Original P3/HDR precision is not retained. Availability is checked on this device using native WebCodecs.
- Layers
- PSD: Layers & masks
- Multiple images
- Creates a lossy, opaque 8-bit sRGB HEIC using this device’s native encoder. Original P3/HDR precision is not retained.
- Dimensions
- Rendered image dimensions are retained within the converter limits; this tool does not offer resizing. Orientation handling depends on the source decoder.
- Metadata
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
