PSD Codec

PSD Codec is a codec that is especially designed to make its way into your system and integrate a feature that allows you to view Photoshop PSD files just as easily as you can open JPEG or PNG images.

To be able to view PSD files using Windows Photo Viewer, all you need to do is install the application on your computer, restart the system and that’s just about it. The actual installation process takes just a couple of seconds and will pose no challenge to anyone who wants to add this feature to their operating system.

One of the biggest advantages that PSD Codec offers is that you don't need any other kind of third party software to view the contents of a PSD file. Not having to open Photoshop or Lightroom every time you need to check a file can save you valuable time when you’re making your way through a large number of files.

With PSD Codec installed, you can effortlessly scroll down through hundreds of files without having to wait for them to load and surprisingly enough, even though you’re dealing with large formats, they open quite fast but this also depends on your hardware configuration.

To make things even better, besides PSD files, PSD Codec can open PSB, PPD, ESP, AI (not all) and INDD formats, and can enable metadata viewing for the files which makes it a handy tool for photographers and designers alike.

Considering that PSD Codec provides the means to quickly and easily view PSD files just like any other image file without hogging system resources, it should be more than helpful on any computer.
