RAW files are files that contain unprocessed data created and captured using a digital camera’s sensors. They ensure a high level of image detail and lossless quality. Before using RAW images, they must be imported into appropriate software for editing or exporting as a different raster image file, such as PNG or JPG. RAW format is often called ‘digital negative’ because it constitutes the ingredients of a photo needed for processing to produce a picture’s full potential.
PSD stands for Photoshop Document. It is a raster graphics file format created in Adobe Photoshop. The PSD format allows Photoshop users, including professional artists and designers, to save all image information necessary for continued or future file editing. A PSD file comprises different layers arranged to be edited independently, permitting complex editing effects that can be easily modified. They also contain Photoshop-specific elements, keywords, file information, annotations, layer masks, adjustments, and image layers.
To convert files from RAW to PSD use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any RAW photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the RAW pics you want to convert.
After uploading the RAW image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select PSD.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted PSD file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the PSD file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.

Instead of converting a file manually from RAW to PSD, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the RAW file, Download the PSD file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of the PSD format is its strong compatibility with various software applications, particularly in graphic design and photography. PSD files are used for raster-based image editing, allowing for multiple layers, masks, and effects, making them ideal for complex photo editing tasks. The main disadvantage of RAW files is that they are large and lack standardization, making them unsuitable for direct use in many general-purpose applications. Converting RAW files to PSD simplifies their accessibility and allows for extensive editing.
