Read and Convert PSD Files in Java with JDeli
JDeli Image Library adds PSD support to Java, allowing you to read Photoshop PSD files and convert them to other image formats without native dependencies. Java’s built-in ImageIO has no PSD support, meaning any Java application that needs to handle PSD files must rely on a third-party library. JDeli reads uncompressed and RLE-compressed PSD files entirely in pure Java, with no native binaries, no platform-specific setup, and no risk of JVM crashes from native code.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Java support PSD natively?
No. Java’s built-in ImageIO cannot read PSD files. JDeli adds PSD read support in pure Java.
Can JDeli read PSD files in Java?
Yes. JDeli can read PSD files and return a BufferedImage, which can then be processed or converted to any other supported format.
Can JDeli write PSD files in Java?
No. JDeli reads PSD files but does not write them. To save PSD images in another format, convert them to a format JDeli can write, such as JPEG, PNG, or TIFF.
Which PSD compression types does JDeli support?
JDeli reads uncompressed PSD files and PSD files that use RLE compression.
How do I convert PSD to JPEG in Java?
JDeli’s convert method provides a single call to convert directly from PSD to JPEG. JDeli handles the conversion entirely in Java with no native tools required.
How do I convert PSD to PNG in Java?
JDeli’s convert method provides a single call to convert directly from PSD to PNG. JDeli handles the conversion entirely in Java with no native tools required.
Does JDeli’s PSD support require native libraries?
No. JDeli’s PSD implementation is pure Java. It runs consistently across platforms without the JVM crash risk that comes from native-dependent alternatives.
Can JDeli be used with ImageIO to read PSD files?
Yes. JDeli is available as an ImageIO plugin. Once the PSD reader is registered through the plugin, existing code that calls ImageIO.read() will use JDeli to read PSD files. See the ImageIO migration guide for details.
