What is a PSP file?
A .PSP file is most often a PaintShop Pro Image created by graphic design software from Corel. This file format stores raster images, vector paths, layers, guides, and image metadata. Digital artists and photographers use this format to save their current work.
However, the .PSP extension has multiple possible meanings. It can also be a JSON-based pixel art project created by the Pixel Studio app, a preferences file for Adobe Photoshop, an Oracle PL/SQL Server Page, or a GIS vector map file. Because the extension has many uses, viewer.online/psp is the best way to identify the actual format of your file.
How to open PSP files?
To open a standard PaintShop Pro Image, you need Corel PaintShop Pro. Some image viewers like XnView or IrfanView can also open these files. If your file is a pixel art project, you must open it with Pixel Studio.
If you do not know the origin of the file, viewer.online/psp analyzes .PSP files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
Best practices and troubleshooting
If you need to share a .PSP image with someone who does not have the correct software, you must convert it. You can easily convert .PSP files to standard image formats like .JPG, .PNG, or .TIFF on convert.guru.
If your file fails to open in an image viewer, it might be a database file, a game asset for Dante's Inferno, or a server page. Do not rename the file extension. Renaming a file does not change its internal format and can corrupt the data.
Summary
viewer.online/psp directly opens and previews .PSP files in the browser, eliminating the need to install software or troubleshoot compatibility issues.
