# @webtoon/psd



[![Package on NPM](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@webtoon/psd)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@webtoon/psd) [![Minified size](https://img.shields.io/bundlephobia/min/@webtoon/psd)](https://bundlephobia.com/package/@webtoon/psd)



> A lightweight Adobe Photoshop .psd/.psb file parser in typescript with zero-dependency for web browsers and NodeJS



`@webtoon/psd` is a fast, lightweight parser for Adobe Photoshop PSD/PSB files. It uses standard (ES2015+) features and can be used both in web browsers and in Node.js. It pulls in zero dependencies, making it smaller ([~100 KiB minified](https://bundlephobia.com/package/@webtoon/psd)) than other PSD parsers ([ag-psd]: [200 KiB](https://bundlephobia.com/package/[email protected]), [PSD.js]: [443 KiB](https://github.com/meltingice/psd.js/blob/master/dist/psd.min.js)). It uses WebAssembly to speed up decoding image data.

## Usage



`@webtoon/psd` is provided as a pure ECMAScript module.



### Web Browsers



Check out the [live demo](https://webtoon.github.io/psd) ([source code](https://github.com/webtoon/psd/tree/main/packages/example-browser)) for web browser.



`@webtoon/psd` must be bundled with a bundler such as Webpack or Rollup.



`@webtoon/psd` reads a PSD file as an `ArrayBuffer`. You can use `FileReader` or `File` to load a PSD file:



```ts

import Psd from "@webtoon/psd";



const inputEl: HTMLInputElement = document.querySelector("input[type='file']");

inputEl.addEventListener("change", async () => {

  const file = inputEl.files[0];



  const result = await file.arrayBuffer();

  const psdFile = Psd.parse(result);



  const canvasElement = document.createElement("canvas");

  const context = canvasElement.getContext("2d");

  const compositeBuffer = await psdFile.composite();

  const imageData = new ImageData(

    compositeBuffer,

    psdFile.width,

    psdFile.height

  );



  canvasElement.width = psdFile.width;

  canvasElement.height = psdFile.height;



  context.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0);

  document.body.append(canvasElement);

});

```



For performance, we recommend parsing PSD files in a [Web Worker](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) rather than the main thread.



### NodeJS



Check out the [source code for the Node.js example](https://github.com/webtoon/psd/tree/main/packages/example-node) for web browser.



`@webtoon/psd` does not support the Node.js `Buffer`. You must explicitly supply the underlying `ArrayBuffer`.



```ts

import * as fs from "fs";

import Psd from "@webtoon/psd";



const psdData = fs.readFileSync("./my-file.psd");

// Pass the ArrayBuffer instance inside the Buffer

const psdFile = Psd.parse(psdData.buffer);

```



Since `@webtoon/psd` is provided as an ES module, you must use dynamic `import()` or a bundler to run it in CommonJS code:



```ts

const Psd = await import("@webtoon/psd");

```



## API Docs



This library provides the `Psd` class as the default export.



### Opening a file



`Psd.parse(ArrayBuffer)` takes an `ArrayBuffer` containing a PSD or PSB file and returns a new `Psd` object.



```ts

const psdFile = Psd.parse(myBuffer);

```



### Traversing layers



A `Psd` object contains a tree of `Layer` and `Group` (i.e. layer group) objects.



- The `Psd` object provides a `children` property, which is an array of top-level `Layer`s and `Group`s.

- Each `Group` object provides a `children` property, which is an array of `Layers` and `Group`s that belong immediately under the current layer group.

- `Psd`, `Group`, and `Layer` objects provide a `type` field, which can be used to discriminate each type:



```ts

import Psd, {Node} from "@webtoon/psd";



// Recursively traverse layers and layer groups

function traverseNode(node: Node) {

  if (node.type === "Layer") {

    // Do something with Layer

  } else if (node.type === "Group") {

    // Do something with Group

  } else if (node.type === "Psd") {

    // Do something with Psd

  } else {

    throw new Error("Invalid node type");

  }



  node.children?.forEach((child) => traverseNode(child));

}



traverseNode(psdFile);

```



The `Psd` object also provides the `layers` property, which is an array of all `Layer`s in the image (including nested).



```ts

for (const layer of psdFile.layers) {

  doSomething(layer);

}

```



### Decoding image data



Use `Psd.prototype.composite()` and `Layer.prototype.composite()` to decode the pixel information for the entire image or an individual layer.



Note that for `Psd.prototype.composite()` to work, PSD/PSB files need to be saved in "Maximize Compatibility" mode. Otherwise, it will return no data. You can enable it in `Preferences > File Handling > File Compatibility > Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility`



```ts

// Decode the pixel data of the entire image

pixelData = await psd.composite();



// Extract the pixel data of a layer, with all layer and layer group effects applied

// (currently, only the opacity is supported)

layerPixelData = await layer.composite();



// Extract the pixel data of a layer, with only the layer's own effects applied

layerPixelData = await layer.composite(true, false);



// Extract the pixel data of a layer, without any effects

layerPixelData = await layer.composite(false);

```
