Conversion Quality Deep Dive

Preserves layer styles, smart objects, adjustment layers and masks When this data is re-encoded into PlantUML Source, Less common than .puml but used for explicit file identification Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. PlantUML Source preserves all data losslessly, so output size depends on the content's inherent compressibility.

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