Who it is for

Designers, developers and clients who need to inspect Photoshop files without opening Photoshop.

What it solves

Lets users inspect layers, text, fonts, colors and export assets directly in the browser.

PeekPSD is a browser-based PSD viewer. It parses files locally, shows the layer structure and lets users inspect or export useful assets without uploading the source file to a server.

The product is intentionally a viewer, not a browser-based Photoshop replacement.

Why I built it

The browser can now handle useful file workflows locally. That creates small tools with near-zero processing cost and a clean privacy story.

Biggest lesson

A narrow tool with a specific search job can be more useful than another broad design application.
