What happens when you convert PSD to QOI?

Rendered composition

Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.

HDR to SDR

HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.

Lossless sample storage

QOI preserves 8-bit RGB/RGBA samples losslessly. Reducing 16-bit data or discarding profiles and metadata before encoding is outside that guarantee. QOI can store its supported image samples without lossy compression. This applies after rendering and sample conversion: it does not guarantee preservation of source precision, colour space or document structure, and cannot undo earlier losses.

8-bit destination samples

Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.

Good choice when

QOI fits your delivery use: Application assets & simple decoding.
You need a rendered delivery copy of the composition.
You need an SDR delivery copy and can review its tone mapping.
You need a transparency-capable destination and will check its supported variant.

Probably not when

You must keep masks, layer effects or editable text.
You need the original HDR range for relighting or grading.
You assume format-level alpha support guarantees matching transparent edges.
You expect lossless encoding to restore lost details or editing structure.

Conversion considerations

A rendered PSD export carries a composite image, not the original editable layers, masks, text and effects. Layer visibility, blending and renderer fidelity depend on the future engine. Even TIFF, EXR or PDF output does not promise a Photoshop editing round trip; retain the PSD working original.
If HDR source content is exported through an SDR representation, it needs a display rendering. Values outside the output range require tone mapping, scaling or clipping; brightness relationships can change. Tone mapping, exposure and colour handling depend on the future engine. Renaming or lossless compression cannot preserve out-of-range values.
The reviewed QOI representation uses 8-bit colour samples. If the source contains higher-precision samples, they must be reduced before encoding, even in a lossless output mode. Rounding, dithering and colour conversion are future engine decisions; lost precision cannot be recovered from this output.

PSD to QOI conversion details

Rendered composition: Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.
HDR to SDR: HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Transparency representation: The implemented target supports alpha. Display-pixel processing can round translucent samples; archival sample equality is not promised.
Lossless sample storage: QOI preserves 8-bit RGB/RGBA samples losslessly. Reducing 16-bit data or discarding profiles and metadata before encoding is outside that guarantee. QOI can store its supported image samples without lossy compression. This applies after rendering and sample conversion: it does not guarantee preservation of source precision, colour space or document structure, and cannot undo earlier losses.
8-bit destination samples: Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Sample precision & colour: Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Metadata & colour: Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Compression: PSD: Lossless → QOI: Lossless PSD: PSD channel compression is lossless, but a document may contain previously lossy source assets. Composite rendering and layer editing are different capabilities; this page does not claim portable animation playback. QOI: QOI preserves 8-bit RGB/RGBA samples losslessly. Reducing 16-bit data or discarding profiles and metadata before encoding is outside that guarantee.
Transparency: Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
Colour depth: PSD: 8 / 16 / 32 bits/channel → QOI: 8 bits/sample
HDR: PSD: 32-bit workflows
Layers: PSD: Layers & masks
Dimensions: Rendered image dimensions are retained within the converter limits; this tool does not offer resizing. Orientation handling depends on the source decoder.
Metadata: Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.

Common questions

Will the editable PSD layers survive?

Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.

How will HDR brightness be mapped?

HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.

Does lossless output mean an unchanged source?

Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?

Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.

Will metadata and colour profiles be retained?

Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
