Rename .mermaid to .mmd for shorter extension On the output side, Save as PSD for editing, export to JPEG/PNG for sharing Together, following these practices ensures the best conversion outcome between Mermaid Source and Photoshop Document. Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. Mermaid Source preserves the full range. Photoshop Document maintains the complete dynamic range.

This is a cross-category conversion from Diagram (Mermaid Source) to Image (Photoshop Document). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your Mermaid Source source and maps it into the Photoshop Document format. Diagram files typically contain Mermaid diagrams using self-documenting extension, while Image files are used for professional photo editing. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
