PSD to MTS Converter

Convert PSD to MTS Online

A .psd is Adobe Photoshop's layered working file — layers, masks, adjustment layers, editable type, and smart objects kept separate. This converter flattens all of that into one rendered frame, then wraps that single still inside an .MTS file: the camcorder spelling of the BDAV MPEG-2 transport stream that AVCHD camcorders record. The result is one motionless frame held on screen for a duration you choose — it is silent and does not animate. The honest reason to make one is the motion-graphics handoff: pushing a flat PSD title card, lower-third mock, or slate into an AVCHD-era editing or disc-authoring timeline that only ingests transport-stream clips. If you want a moving, widely playable video instead, most people should use PSD to MP4; if you only need a still that keeps Photoshop's transparency, PSD to PNG is the alpha-safe target.

How to Convert PSD to MTS

1. Upload Your PSD File: Drag and drop your .psd onto the page or click "+ Add Files" to pick it from your computer. You can queue several PSDs and convert them in one batch.
2. Set Image Duration: Open Advanced Options and use the Image Duration control to pick how long the flattened frame is held — the default is 5 seconds. Use Merge strategy to choose "Merge images" (one combined clip) or "Video per image" (a separate clip per PSD).
3. Set Quality Preset, Video Resolution, and Background Color: Leave Quality Preset on "Very High (Recommended)", set Video resolution ("Keep original" or a fixed preset to match your timeline), and pick a Background Color (default Black) — this is the color any transparent area and any letterboxed padding is filled with.
4. Convert and Download: Click "Convert" and save your silent .MTS file. No sign-up, no watermark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting PSD to MTS flatten my layers, and can I edit them again afterward?

Yes, it flattens, and no, you cannot get the editability back. Before encoding, every layer, layer mask, adjustment layer, smart object, and editable text layer is merged into one rendered frame — a transport-stream video has no concept of Photoshop layers. Opening or re-importing the .MTS later gives you flat video pixels, not your separated layers, so always keep the original .psd as your working master and treat the MTS as a finished, one-way export. If you need the design to stay editable while still handing off a picture, export a flat raster such as PSD to PNG instead.

What happens to a transparent PSD background, since the file has alpha?

It gets filled in. H.264 video inside an MTS file has no alpha channel, so any transparent or partially transparent area of your PSD is composited onto the Background Color (default Black) at render — there is no way to carry a see-through background into the clip. If your title card or lower-third is meant to overlay other footage with its transparency intact, an MTS is the wrong target: render a still that keeps alpha with PSD to PNG, or check whether your editor accepts a format with an embedded alpha track. Set the Background Color to match your timeline's backdrop if you do need an opaque clip.

Will this animate my PSD or turn several PSDs into a slideshow?

No. A single PSD becomes one still frame held for the duration you set, so it plays as a frozen clip with no motion. If you upload several PSDs and choose "Merge images" under Merge strategy, they are joined back to back — each shown in turn for its set duration — which is a sequence of stills, not a cross-faded slideshow with transitions. There is no source motion to preserve because a Photoshop document is a still image, so the output never moves on its own.

Why would anyone convert a PSD to MTS instead of MP4?

Almost the only reason is an AVCHD-era pipeline that specifically expects the .MTS/.m2ts transport-stream extension — for example, dropping a designed title card or slate into older camcorder-footage editing or a Blu-ray authoring template that ingests transport streams. For literally everything else — phones, browsers, TVs, modern editors, web upload — PSD to MP4 carries the same H.264 video in a smaller, far more widely supported file. MTS is the niche pick; MP4 is the default.

Is the MTS the same as a real AVCHD camcorder clip, and which codec should I keep?

What you download is the bare transport stream — the part that lives inside an AVCHD card's BDMV/STREAM/ folder — without the playlist and clip-information files a camcorder writes alongside it, so it will not reproduce a browsable AVCHD card on its own. It plays in software players like VLC and imports into AVCHD-aware editors and authoring tools (such as tsMuxeR or multiAVCHD) that build the surrounding structure. Leave the codec on the H.264 default: H.264 is the codec the AVCHD specification is built around, so it imports most cleanly, whereas H.265 makes a smaller file but is not part of the AVCHD spec and is commonly rejected by AVCHD-era tools. In our testing, a flattened PSD title card encoded to H.264 imported into an AVCHD authoring template without a re-transcode, while the H.265 version was refused.

How are my files handled, and how long are they kept?

Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers, and deleted automatically a few hours after conversion — no sign-up, no watermark, never shared or made public.
