How to Change a File From Psd to GIF
Psd files are raster image files created in Photoshop. While psds make it easy to edit a graphic, they are able to be opened only by advanced image-editing softwares. If you would like to change a psd file into a file type that is able to be opened by most imaging programs, you can convert the psd to a more common file format, such as gif.
