PSD to WORD Converter

Photoshop Document (PSD) is the default file type for Adobe Photoshop, a powerful and complex graphic design program. PSD can store an image along with a complex array of its corresponding layers, vector paths, objects, filters, and more, all in one file! PSD allows a user to make surgical edits on individual components of an image or a graphic design while retaining the file’s information in an accessible format. One drawback of PSD is that it can be large and unwieldy.

How to open a PSD file?

Adobe Photoshop is the most common program to open a PSD file. A free alternative to Adobe products is the GNU Image Manipulation Program, otherwise known as GIMP.

Due to the size of PSD files, they are not easy to transport, store, or share. To overcome this, PSD is often converted to a file format that can compress the data. Most often, the conversion is to JPEG, which offers lossy compression, or PNG, which offers lossless compression.

A Word file is a text document created in Microsoft Word, saved today with the .docx extension. It holds far more than plain text: paragraph and character styles, headings, tables, images, headers and footers, footnotes, comments, and tracked changes all live inside the same file. Modern Word documents are Office Open XML packages, an open published standard, which is why so many non-Microsoft programs can read them.

How to open a Word file?

Microsoft Word is the obvious answer, and Word for the web views and edits documents in a browser with a Microsoft account.

If you do not have Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Apple Pages all open Word files. Fonts and spacing occasionally shift between applications, so when a document must print exactly as written, convert it with our Word to PDF tool first.
