Extract text from PixelStyle images (PSDB)
To convert PSDB images to another format, you need PixelStyle Photo Editor or other Raster Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Layered Photo Editor Image" file type, you need software like PixelStyle Photo Editor or a similar tool.
The .PSDB file is a proprietary layered graphic project created by Effectmatrix PixelStyle Photo Editor. It serves as the default working file for the software, storing raster images, vector objects, text, and non-destructive adjustment layers in a single document.
This format is exclusively tied to the Mac ecosystem and is primarily opened and edited in PixelStyle. Because .PSDB is a highly closed, proprietary format, it presents significant barriers for collaboration. It cannot be opened natively on Windows or Linux, nor is it supported by standard web browsers or industry-standard tools like Adobe Photoshop. Furthermore, users running the free trial of PixelStyle are explicitly blocked from saving or exporting their files without paying for a full license, essentially trapping their artwork inside the software.
To share your work or use it elsewhere, you must convert the .PSDB file to a universally recognized format. We recommend converting it to JPG or PNG for quick web sharing, or PDF for document distribution. Keep in mind that converting to these standard formats will permanently flatten the image, meaning you will lose all individual layer editability and non-destructive effects.
Because .PSDB files contain complex, proprietary internal mapping, they are notoriously difficult to open or convert outside of their native environment. Often, only the original PixelStyle software can properly read or export the layered data. Standard online converters typically fail when dealing with such niche formats. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PSDB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our PSDB converter.
