PSD.rb is a Ruby library for parsing Adobe Photoshop (PSD) files. It exposes the document as a manageable tree structure with access to layers, metadata, fonts, masks, and image data.

Use cases

  • parse photoshop psd files in ruby
  • extract layer names and positions from a psd
  • read font and text data from photoshop documents
  • render a flattened image from a psd file
  • traverse psd layer structure as a tree
  • get layer visibility and opacity from a photoshop file

When to choose

  • you work in Ruby and need programmatic access to PSD file contents
  • you need to extract layer metadata, text, or structure from design files
  • you want to convert or inspect PSD files in a backend pipeline

When to avoid

  • you need to edit or author PSD files, not just parse them
  • your project is not in Ruby
  • you need actively maintained support for the latest Photoshop features
