Convert PS file to PSD via C#
Export PS to PSD within .NET applications without using Adobe® Acrobat Reader or any other third party applications
Aspose.Total for .NET is a comprehensive suite of .NET components that enables developers to easily export PS to PSD images within any .NET application. This suite includes Aspose.PDF for .NET and Aspose.Imaging for .NET, two powerful components that make the conversion process simple and straightforward.
The first step in the process is to use Aspose.PDF for .NET to export PS to JPEG. This component provides a wide range of features that allow developers to manipulate PDF documents in a variety of ways. It can be used to convert PDF documents to other formats, such as JPEG, TIFF, and PNG. It also provides features for creating, editing, and manipulating PDF documents.
Once the PS document has been converted to JPEG, the next step is to use Aspose.Imaging for .NET to convert the JPEG to PSD. This powerful Image Processing API provides a wide range of features that allow developers to manipulate images in a variety of ways. It can be used to convert images from one format to another, such as JPEG to PSD. It also provides features for creating, editing, and manipulating images.
Using Aspose.Total for .NET, developers can easily export PS to PSD images within any .NET application. This suite of components provides a wide range of features that make the conversion process simple and straightforward. By using Aspose.PDF for .NET to export PS to JPEG, and Aspose.Imaging for .NET to convert the JPEG to PSD, developers can quickly and easily convert PS documents to PSD images.
Convert PS file to PSD via .NET
- Open PS file using Document class
- Initialize JpegDevice class object and render PS to JPEG by using Process method
- Load JPEG file by using Image class
- Save the document to PSD format using Save method
Get Started with .NET File Automation APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total or install directly from Package Manager Console of Visual Studio.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
Convert PS File to PSD in a Single File via C#
Using the API, you can also convert PS file to PSD to a single image file. In order to convert all pages, you can first render your PS document to one TIFF file and after that you can export TIFF file to PSD. You can open the input file using Document class and create Resolution, TiffSettings, & TIFF device objects. You can get a single TIFF image using Process method of TiffDevice class. Finally, you can load TIFF file using Image class and save it to PSD format using Save method.
Convert PS to PSD With Watermark via C#
Using the API, you can also convert PS file to PSD with watermark in your PSD document. In order to add a watermark, you can first render your PS document to JPEG and add a watermark in it. To demonstrate the operation, you can load your converted JPEG image, add transformations using an object of Matrix class and draw a string as the watermark on the image surface using the Graphics class’ DrawString method. After adding the watermark in it, you can save the JPEG as PSD format. Below is a code example that demonstrates how to add a diagonal watermark to your document.
Convert & Rotate PS File to PSD via C#
Using the API, you can also rotate the output PSD image as per your needs. The Image.RotateFlip method can be used to rotate the image by 90/180/270-degrees and flip the image horizontally or vertically. You can specify the type of rotation and flip to apply to the image. In order to rotate and flip the image you can load the converted JPEG image using the factory method exposed by Image class and call the Image.RotateFlip method while specifying the appropriate RotateFlipType .

What is PS File Format?
The PS (PostScript) file format is a page description language developed by Adobe Systems. It is commonly used for printing and is supported by a wide range of printers and imaging devices. PS files contain instructions that describe how elements such as text, images, and graphics should be rendered on a printed page.
PS files are created by applications that generate PostScript output, such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, or other graphics software. They are primarily used in professional printing workflows, where high-quality and consistent output is required.
The PS file format is based on a stack-based programming language, where commands and operands are placed on a stack and executed in a sequential manner. This allows for precise control over page layout, typography, color, and other printing parameters.
PS files are typically text-based and can be opened and edited with a text editor. They consist of a series of ASCII characters that represent the PostScript code. The code describes the arrangement and appearance of objects on a page, including text positioning, image placement, and graphical transformations.
While PS files are primarily used for printing, they can also be converted to other formats for digital distribution or further processing. For example, PS files can be converted to PDF (Portable Document Format) files, which are widely supported and can be easily viewed and printed on various devices.
What is PSD File Format?
The PSD (Photoshop Document) file format is the default file format used by Adobe Photoshop, a popular software application for graphic design and image editing. PSD files are designed to store layered images, allowing users to work with multiple elements and effects on separate layers within a single file.
PSD files are characterized by their ability to preserve complex image data, including layers, masks, blending modes, transparency, and other advanced features. This makes them highly versatile and flexible for professional graphic designers and photographers who require precise control over their creative work.
In a PSD file, each layer can contain different image elements, such as text, shapes, filters, adjustment layers, and more. This layer-based approach allows for non-destructive editing, as users can modify individual layers without affecting the rest of the image. It also enables easy editing and manipulation of specific parts of an image.
The PSD file format supports high-quality color modes, such as RGB, CMYK, and grayscale, ensuring accurate representation of colors for various output purposes, including print and web.
In addition to Adobe Photoshop, many other image editing software applications can open and edit PSD files, although some advanced features may not be fully supported. However, to retain all the layer information and effects, it is recommended to work with PSD files in Adobe Photoshop.
When the editing process is complete, PSD files can be saved in other common image file formats, such as JPEG or PNG, for sharing or web display purposes. However, it’s important to note that converting a PSD file to another format may result in the loss of layer information and other advanced features.
