Convert LINEA to PSD

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert LINEA to PSD?
Yes - LINEA converts to PSD.

Choose the PSD option when exporting from Linea Sketch, or open the .linea file in Linea Link on a Mac and export to .psd. Because Linea stores each layer as its own PNG inside the package, the PSD arrives in Photoshop or Affinity Photo as separate, editable layers rather than a flattened image.

Also to PSD: PSDT · PSB · AFPHOTO

Why convert LINEA to PSD?

PSD is the format for anyone who wants to keep refining a sketch in a full editor. Exporting to .psd preserves Linea's layers so you can recolor, mask or add detail in Photoshop, Affinity Photo or Pixelmator instead of being stuck with a flat picture.

How to convert LINEA to PSD

Linea Sketch (iOS/iPadOS) EASIEST

Tap the share/export button on the canvas and choose PSD; the file exports with layers preserved so it opens layered in Photoshop.

Linea Link (macOS) FREE

Open the .linea file in Linea Link on your Mac and export as .psd directly into Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo or Pixelmator with layers kept.

Quality & what to watch

  • Linea's layers export as flat raster layers - there are no live/vector strokes or blend settings to re-edit brush by brush.
  • Notes, callouts and the timelapse video stored in the .linea package are not carried into the PSD.
  • Very large canvases with many layers produce big PSD files, so allow time and disk space for the export.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PSD keep my Linea layers?
Yes. That is the main reason to use PSD - each Linea layer becomes a separate layer in Photoshop or Affinity Photo.
Do I need Linea Link for a PSD export?
Not necessarily - Linea Sketch on iOS exports PSD directly. Linea Link is the convenient route when working from a Mac.
Can I re-edit the brush strokes in the PSD?
No. Strokes are rasterized into pixel layers, so you can repaint over them but not tweak the original vector paths.
Which apps open the exported PSD?
Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo and Pixelmator all open layered PSD files exported from Linea.
