A fast, zero-dependency TypeScript parser for Adobe Photoshop PSD/PSB files that runs in web browsers and Node.js. It extracts layer information, pixel data, text layers, guides, and slices, using WebAssembly to accelerate image decoding.

Use cases

• parse psd files in the browser
• extract layers from a photoshop file in node.js
• render psd composite image to canvas
• read text layer content from psd files
• support large psb files in a web app
• preview photoshop documents without photoshop
• get layer names and offsets from psd

When to choose

• you need a lightweight (~100 KiB) PSD parser with zero dependencies
• you need to parse PSD/PSB files in both browsers and Node.js
• you need fast parsing with WebAssembly-accelerated image decoding
• you need unicode layer names, text layers, guides, or slices

When to avoid

• you need full support for layer effects like shadows and overlays
• you need Photoshop metadata not directly related to the image
• you need to write or edit PSD files rather than parse them
• you need Internet Explorer support
