A general purpose Photoshop PSD file parser written in CoffeeScript that works in both NodeJS and the browser. It exposes the document as a manageable tree structure with layer metadata, font data, and flattened image export to PNG.

Use cases

• parse psd files in nodejs
• extract layer names and metadata from photoshop files
• convert psd to png in the browser
• read font and text data from psd files
• inspect photoshop document structure programmatically
• handle psd file uploads via drag and drop

When to choose

• you need to read PSD file structure, layers, or metadata in JavaScript
• you want to render or export a flattened PSD image as PNG in Node or the browser
• you need a dependency-free parser with no native modules

When to avoid

• you need to edit or author PSD files - this is read-only parsing
• you need full feature parity with PSD.rb such as layer comp filtering or a built-in renderer
• you need an actively developed project with frequent updates
