What is an NPSD file? An NPSD file is an image file created by NPS Image Editor, a free, layer-based drawing and image editing program. It contains an image, as well as a record of the image's layers and any edits made to the image. NPSD files can be opened only in NPS Image Editor.

More Information NPSD file open in NPS Image Editor NPS Image Editor is a lightweight pixel art, drawing, and photo editing application available for Windows. It allows users to create and save layer-based images as NPSD files, also known as NPS Image Editor Documents. Layer-based editing allows users to add and edit different image elements without interfering with other elements. For example, an NPS Image Editor user could add a text element on one image layer, add a shape element on a different image layer, and edit both entirely separately, without modifying the other. After a user has finished editing the image their NPSD file contains, they can use NPS Image Editor to export the image as a .JPG , .GIF , .PNG , .TIF , or .BMP image, for use in other image viewing and editing programs. Doing so will "flatten" the image, compressing all its layers into a single layer.
