Convert PUML to PSB
Fast, free, and secure PUML to PSB conversion. No registration required.
Whether you have one puml file or fifty, converting them all to psb takes just seconds with Xonvert's browser-based engine. Your source file uses PlantUML Diagram encoding (standard since 2009). The output will use Photoshop Big encoding (available since 2003). This particular format pair is popular among professionals who need reliable, fast conversion. This conversion is instant for most file sizes. Large files may take a few extra seconds of processing.
Advantages of PSB over PUML
There are strong reasons to convert PUML to PSB:
Industry standard: In many image workflows, Photoshop Big has become the go-to format, making this conversion a frequent necessity.
API and automation: Many automated workflows and APIs expect Photoshop Big as input, making this conversion necessary for programmatic processing.
Editing flexibility: Photoshop Big files can be opened in a wider range of editing software, giving you more options for further modifications.
Collaboration ease: Team members and collaborators are more likely to have software that opens Photoshop Big natively, reducing compatibility friction.
Smaller file size: Efficient compression in Photoshop Big often produces significantly smaller files than PlantUML Diagram, saving storage space and bandwidth.

PUML to PSB: Quality Comparison
For professional use, quality assurance is critical. Xonvert's PlantUML Diagram to Photoshop Big pipeline has been tested against reference implementations to ensure output meets image industry standards. Real-world quality depends on three factors: source file quality, format capabilities, and encoder settings. Xonvert optimizes the third factor automatically, but starting with the best possible PlantUML Diagram source always yields the best Photoshop Big output. Supports: class, sequence, use case, activity, component, state diagrams When this data is re-encoded into Photoshop Big, File size can exceed 4GB (PSD limited to 2GB) Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity.
This is a cross-category conversion from Diagram (PlantUML Diagram) to Image (Photoshop Big). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your PlantUML Diagram source and maps it into the Photoshop Big format. Diagram files typically contain software architecture documentation, while Image files are used for panoramic photography. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
The PUML to PSB conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Supports: class, sequence, use case, activity, component, state diagrams

PUML to PSB FAQ
Can I convert multiple PUML files at once?▼
Yes! Drag multiple files into the converter for batch processing. All files convert simultaneously and can be downloaded as a ZIP archive.
What's the maximum number of files I can convert at once?▼
Free users can convert several files per batch. PRO users enjoy unlimited batch sizes. For very large batches, your device's memory is the only practical limit.
Why choose PSB over other formats?▼
Photoshop Big offers supports files up to 300,000 x 300,000 pixels and over 2GB. It's widely used for panoramic photography, large-format print design and massive composites, making it an excellent choice for most image needs.
Will my PUML file be deleted after conversion?▼
No. Your original PUML file is never modified or deleted. Xonvert creates a separate PSB copy — your source file remains untouched.
What diagram quality settings should I use?▼
Default settings are optimized for the best balance of quality and file size. Adjust only if you have specific requirements.
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
Can I undo a conversion?▼
Since your original PUML file is never modified, there's nothing to undo. Your source file remains exactly as it was — only a new PSB copy is created.
