Questions

How do I convert PSD to ORA?

Drop your PSD file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the ORA downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the layered image editor.

Is my PSD file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Are the layers kept?

Yes. ORA holds layers, so each one is kept; effects and masks it can’t hold are saved as they look.

Can I convert several PSD files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every ORA inside.
