PSD to MPG Converter

Convert PSD to MPG Online

Turn an Adobe Photoshop document (.psd) into an MPG video clip that holds your flattened artwork on screen for a set duration. The converter composites every visible layer into one still picture — the same image you'd get from File → Save As → JPEG in Photoshop — and renders it as a short, silent MPEG video. It is a niche still-to-video job: useful when a DVD-authoring tool, a legacy signage player, or a broadcast ingest system accepts MPEG video but won't open a .psd. You set how long the frame is held, the output resolution, and the color used to pad the frame.

How to Convert PSD to MPG

1. Upload Your PSD File: Drag and drop or click "+ Add Files" to load one or more .psd files. With several files, choose Merge images to chain them into one clip or Video per image for a separate MPG each.
2. Set the Image Duration: Open Advanced Options and pick Image Duration — how long the still is held (default "5 seconds per frame"). Choices run from a single frame (1/60s, 1/30s, 1/24s) up to 10 seconds per frame.
3. Pick Resolution and Background Color (Optional): Use Video resolution (Keep original, Preset Resolutions, or Fixed Resolutions with custom Width × Height) to size the frame, and set Background Color (default Black) to fill any bars when your image's aspect ratio doesn't match the output. Under File Compression, the Quality Preset defaults to Very High.
4. Convert and Download: Click Convert to get a silent .mpg. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours — no sign-up, no watermark, never shared.

What Survives the Conversion

A .psd is an editable, layered raster file; an .mpg is a flat playback stream. The conversion keeps the picture, not the editability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my Photoshop layers be preserved in the MPG?

No. Video formats like MPG store flat frames, not editable layers, so the converter composites all visible layers into a single rendered image — exactly what Photoshop produces on a flattened Save As — and writes that picture as video. Adjustment layers, text layers, smart objects, and the alpha channel are all baked in or dropped. If you need to keep editing the artwork, don't convert to video: export to PSD to PNG (lossless, keeps transparency) or PSD to JPG instead, then bring that into a video editor.

Will the MPG have any motion or sound?

No on both counts. A PSD is a single still image with no timeline and no audio, so the conversion holds that one flattened frame on screen for the duration you set and writes video only — the result is silent. There is no panning, zooming, or animation; a moving "Ken Burns" effect needs a video editor, not a format conversion. To add a soundtrack afterward, convert here and layer music in an editor such as Shotcut or DaVinci Resolve.

What codec does the .mpg use, and will it play everywhere?

The MPG container defaults to MPEG-2 video (ISO/IEC 13818, also ITU-T H.262), the codec the DVD-Video spec mandates and the one legacy MPG-capable hardware decodes natively. MPEG-2 plays in desktop VLC and on DVD players, set-top boxes, and broadcast systems, but .mpg is not an HTML5 <video> format, so it won't play inline in browsers or natively on iOS. For a clip that plays on the modern web and phones, use PSD to MP4 (H.264) instead.

My PSD isn't widescreen — why are there black bars, and can I change them?

Because a square or portrait document can't fill a widescreen frame without distortion, the converter pads the empty space rather than stretching your image. The fill color comes from the Background Color option (Black by default; White and other swatches are available). Alternatively, set Video resolution to Keep original so the frame matches your image's exact dimensions and no padding is added.

Can I turn several PSD files into one MPG slideshow?

Yes. Upload multiple .psd files and choose Merge images; each flattened still is shown for the Image Duration you set, played back to back as a single clip. Total length equals the number of files multiplied by the per-frame duration. Choose Video per image if you want one separate MPG per file. In our testing, five PSD stills merged at 5 seconds each produced a single 25-second silent MPG. For a slideshow that targets any output format, see PSD to Video.

Is my file private, and is there a size limit?

Files are uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours — no sign-up, no watermark, and your file is never shared or made public. There's no fixed file-count cap; the practical limit on a large layered PSD is upload time, since the full file is sent to the server before it's flattened and encoded.
