What is a PSD file?

A .PSD file is an Adobe Photoshop image file.

The .psd file extension is given to files that have been created by the Adobe Photoshop computer application. The Adobe Photoshop application is a professional image-editing program that can create various image elements such as layers and masks. When these files are created, they are saved with the .psd file extension.

Adobe Photoshop is one of the most commonly-used image editing applications on the market and it is very popular among desktop publishers and image editors.
