Screenshot to Photoshop:
Convert Any Image into an Editable PSD
Upload a screenshot, PNG or JPG and get Photoshop layers you can edit: real type layers, grouped UI elements and separate image layers instead of one flat background. Use the free Photoshop plugin or convert in your browser.
The plugin runs in Photoshop on a computer. On your phone, try the browser version first.

What you can convert
Image to PSD for every kind of UI
If you can take a screenshot of it, you can open it as layers in Photoshop. Codia works with PNG, JPG and WebP images of real products and mockups.
iOS and Android app screens
Rebuild app screens as layered PSDs for mockups, store graphics and presentations.
Websites and landing pages
Turn a captured web page into a layered file you can retouch, restyle or reuse in banners.
Dashboards and admin panels
Tables, charts and sidebars come back as separate layers instead of one merged picture.
Design references and mood boards
Turn a reference screen into layers you can study, recolor and adapt in Photoshop.
Lost PSDs and old designs
Only have a flattened export? Recover an editable, layered version from the image.
PNG, JPG and WebP images
Any UI image works, from a quick screenshot to an exported mockup. Higher resolution gives cleaner text.

Edit the generated layers
Codia rebuilds text, UI elements and images as Photoshop layers. Edit type, move groups and retouch as usual.
No Photoshop open?
Upload the image at the top of this page. Codia Studio opens it as an editable canvas; choose Download, then PSD, and open the file in Photoshop.
What you get
Editable Photoshop layers, not a flattened background
A screenshot opened in Photoshop is a single layer. A converted screenshot is a layered document.
Real type layers
Headlines, labels and paragraphs become editable text, so you can change copy without cloning or retyping.
Grouped UI structure
Containers, lists, buttons and cards are rebuilt as a layer structure you can move and restyle.
Images on their own layers
Photos, illustrations and icons are separated from the background instead of being baked into it.
Fonts and multilingual text
Font detection keeps the original look, and text in many languages is recognized, not just English.
A layered PSD from your browser
No plugin needed: upload in Codia Studio and download the result as a PSD file for Photoshop.
Edit PSDs online too
Away from Photoshop? Open layered files in the Codia PSD Editor Online and keep editing in the browser.
Open, rebuild or convert: three ways to get a screenshot into Photoshop
Opening the image is instant but gives you one layer. Rebuilding by hand is editable but slow. Converting gives you both.
| Convert with Codia | Open the image | Rebuild by hand | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Editable text | Yes, real type layers | No, text is pixels | Yes, retyped manually |
| Layers | Grouped, separate layers | One background layer | Built manually |
| Fonts and colors | Detected from the image | Visible only | Matched by eye |
| Time per screen | Minutes, then refine | Seconds | Often hours |
