LayerPocket Pro unlocks: • High-resolution PNG and JPG export without watermarks • One purchase with lifetime access • No subscription; purchases can be restored PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Documents, drafts, imported fonts, and processing stay on device. LayerPocket does not send your PSD files, images, fonts, or creative content to the developer. COMPATIBILITY Supports PSD v1, 8-bit RGB and grayscale files. Some complex PSD effects may look different from desktop software. LayerPocket never modifies the original PSD. It exports PNG or JPG images, not PSD files.

PixShop is a free, touch-first editor for PDF pages, PSD layers, and images. Open a PDF or PSD from Files, edit supported text or layers, add annotations or a signature, and save or share from one mobile workspace—no account or subscription required. EDIT PDFS ON YOUR PHONE • Open PDFs directly from the system file picker • Move between pages or enter a page number • Extract supported PDF text into editable layers • Add new text, notes, shapes, brush marks, or a handwritten signature • Import every page when you need the complete document • Export the current page or open documents as a new PDF EDIT IMAGES BY TOUCH • Crop, resize, move, paint, erase, and add text • Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, color, and filters • Work with layers, opacity, order, and blending • Remove backgrounds or select a subject with on-device AI • Save editable PXS projects or share PNG, JPEG, and WebP files MORE DOCUMENT FORMATS • Open PSD files, edit supported layers and text, and save editable work • Import PowerPoint (PPTX) slides with editable supported text • Export pages and designs to PDF, images, or editable project files PRIVACY AND ACCESS PDFs are chosen through the system file picker. Photo-library permission is requested only when you choose to edit a photo, and limited photo access is supported on iPhone. AI models download on first use; editing then runs on your device. Your selected photos and documents are not uploaded for editing. No account, subscription, or in-app purchase is required. PDF text extraction depends on the text and fonts embedded in the source file. Scanned or outlined pages can always be annotated as images.
