Choose the right copy

Download a PSD when you need editable layers. Use PNG for a flat image, including an image that needs transparent pixels. Keep the original and edited project separate.

Export PNG in PhotoCraft

Use File → Export → Export As. Select PNG and finish the download. Before exporting a cutout, inspect the canvas and background layers rather than assuming a checkerboard is part of the saved image.

Check the downloaded file

Open the downloaded PNG. Check pixel dimensions, visible edges and transparency against a light and a dark background. Make sure it is the finished image you intend to share.

Keep a way back

Store the layered working file alongside the export. An exported PNG cannot restore editable text, masks or the layer structure of the source.

Questions, answered.

Can JPEG preserve transparency?

JPEG does not preserve an alpha channel. Choose PNG when your delivery needs transparent pixels.

Can I reopen the exported PNG?

Yes. It reopens as an image; it does not bring back the original editable layers.
