psd-tools is a Python package for reading and manipulating Adobe Photoshop PSD/PSB files. It parses the low-level file structure, exports layer images as NumPy arrays or PIL images, and supports limited compositing and editing of layers.
Use cases
- read psd files in python
- export photoshop layers to png
- convert psd to images programmatically
- parse photoshop file structure
- composite psd layers without photoshop
- extract layer images from psd
- automate psd file processing
When to choose
- you need to read or export PSD/PSB files from Python
- you want to inspect low-level Photoshop file structures
- you need basic layer compositing or pixel layer editing without Photoshop
When to avoid
- you need full-fidelity rendering of all layer effects, fonts, or smart objects
- you need to edit text or type layers
- you need a GUI tool for Photoshop files
