This article introduces how to use HeSoft Doc Batch Tool to batch convert multiple image formats such as AVIF, BMP, WEBP, PNG, JPEG, HEIC, GIF into PSD format at once. The article combines before-and-after effect images and software operation screenshots to illustrate the complete workflow from selecting the image-to-PSD conversion feature, importing files, verifying the list, to continuing to set the save location and start processing, suitable for scenarios such as design, material organization, e-commerce image creation, and team file delivery.
In daily office work, design collaboration, and material organization, it's common to encounter situations where a single folder contains various image formats like AVIF, BMP, WEBP, PNG, JPEG, HEIC, and GIF, but these later need to be uniformly handed over to design software for further editing or archived as PSD format according to team standards. Opening each image individually and saving it as a PSD is not only time-consuming but also prone to missed files and naming confusion. Especially when the number of images grows from dozens to hundreds, repetitive operations significantly reduce work efficiency.
The problem this article aims to solve is: how to use the batch processing capabilities in office software to convert various common image formats into PSD format all at once. The software used in the example is HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , shown in the top-left corner of the screenshot. It is positioned as a batch file processing tool for office scenarios, with its core value being the reduction of repetitive labor, allowing users to complete multi-file conversion, organization, and processing tasks through a clear workflow. Below, combining the screenshots, we will explain how to complete batch image to PSD conversion according to the actual operation sequence.
Applicable Scenarios: When is it suitable to batch convert images to PSD
The need to convert images to PSD does not only arise for professional design software users; it is also very common in many office collaboration scenarios. For example, the marketing department might collect promotional images from different sources, which could include HEIC from mobile phone shots, WEBP from web downloads, PNG from system exports, BMP from old projects, and ordinary JPG, JPEG files. To hand them over to design colleagues for unified color correction, layout, or secondary editing, organizing these images into PSD format first makes the subsequent process more standardized.
Another example is e-commerce operations needing to transfer product main images, detail page materials, and event poster base images to the art team. If the file formats are diverse, designers need to repeatedly confirm the opening method and compatibility. By batch converting images to PSD, you can first convert the materials to the target format before proceeding with subsequent retouching, layout, or archiving.
Some data archiving scenarios are also suitable for this method. For instance, before delivering a design project, various image resources need to be organized into a unified PSD file name sequence; or a training, publicity, or brand asset library needs to store different image formats uniformly for easier future retrieval and access. Compared to manual one-by-one conversion, using office software for batch processing can significantly reduce the cost of repetitive clicks and saves.
Result Preview: Before processing, multiple image formats; after processing, unified to PSD
From the pre-processing screenshot, you can see the images to be converted include various different extensions: 1.avif, 2.bmp, 3.webp, 4.png, 5.jpeg, 6.heic, 7.gif. This indicates that the task is not a single format conversion, but rather a unified conversion of images from multiple sources and extensions to the PSD format.
After processing is complete, the 7 image files originally in different formats are uniformly converted into 1.psd, 2.psd, 3.psd, 4.psd, 5.psd, 6.psd, 7.psd. From the result image, you can intuitively see that the file formats are now consistent, and the file numbering continues the original naming logic, making it convenient for further organization, importing into a design process, or delivering to colleagues.
This processing outcome is very helpful for team collaboration: on one hand, the receiver no longer needs to individually identify the file format; on the other hand, a unified PSD extension makes subsequent editing, archiving, and checking much clearer. For users who frequently handle large volumes of image files, the value of batch conversion lies not only in speed but also in reducing the error rate.
Operation Steps: Using HeSoft Doc Batch Tool to Batch Convert Images to PSD
Step 1: Enter Image Tools and select the Image to PSD function
After opening HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , you can see several office processing categories in the left sidebar, such as Word Tools, Excel Tools, PowerPoint Tools, PDF Tools, Text Tools, Image Tools, Video Tools, Audio Tools, etc. Since the current goal is to process image formats, first enter the Image Tools category on the left.
On the Image Tools page, you can see multiple function cards related to image processing, such as Add Watermark to Image, Image Effect Enhancement, Image to PNG, Image to BMP, Image to GIF, Image to JPEG, Image to JPG, Image to SVG, Image to TIF, Image to TIFF, Image to WEBP, Image to TGA, Image to AVIF, etc. According to the screenshot, the target function card is Image to PSD, with the description: Batch convert image files to PSD format.
The operational purpose of this step is to enter the correct batch conversion workflow. After selecting Image to PSD, the software will switch to the task page for this function, and you can then add the image files that need to be processed. It is important to note here that if your goal is to generate PSD files, you should select Image to PSD, not other format conversion functions like PNG, JPG, or WEBP.
Step 2: Add image files for conversion or import from a folder
After entering the Image to PSD page, you can see buttons like Add Files, Import Files from Folder, Clear, and More at the top of the interface. The page flow is divided into three stages: Select records to process, Set save location, and Start processing. The current screenshot shows the first stage, which is selecting records to process.
If the number of images to be converted is small, you can import specified images via Add Files; if the images are concentrated in a specific folder, you can use Import Files from Folder to add all relevant images from that folder to the task list at once. For batch processing, importing from a folder is usually more suitable for scenarios with more materials, as it can save the time of selecting files one by one.
After importing, the software will list the records to be processed in a table. The screenshot shows 7 records, named 1.avif, 2.bmp, 3.webp, 4.png, 5.jpeg, 6.heic, 7.gif; the table also displays the path, extension, creation time, modification time, and an action column. The purpose of this list is to allow users to verify, before the formal conversion, that the files are complete, the paths are correct, and the formats are as expected.
Step 3: Check the file list and proceed after confirmation
In a batch conversion task, checking the file list is very important. Because once the task starts processing, if images that should not be converted are mixed in, or key materials are missed, they will need to be supplemented and reprocessed. The bottom of the screenshot shows a summary record count of 7, indicating that the current task has successfully imported 7 files. You can check by name and extension whether all images intended for this conversion are included.
If you find that a particular file should not participate in the conversion, you can remove it from the task list using the delete icon in the action column; if you discover an import error or want to reselect files, you can use the Clear button at the top to reorganize the list. The screenshot also shows filter and sort buttons, which can assist in reviewing list content for tasks with many records. After completing the check, click the Next button at the bottom of the page to enter the save location setting stage.
Step 4: Set the save location and start batch processing
According to the workflow prompts on the page, the second stage is setting the save location, and the third stage is starting the process. That means, after clicking Next, you need to follow the software interface prompts to choose the save location for the converted PSD files. It is recommended to save the output files to a new folder, such as PSD Output, Conversion Results, or the project name plus PSD. This can avoid mixing them with the original images and also makes it easier to compare the results before and after processing.
After setting the save location, proceed to the start processing stage. At this point, the software will convert the images to PSD format one by one according to the task list. The advantage of batch processing is most evident at this stage: users don't need to repeatedly open each image or execute save-as operations over and over. As long as the file list is prepared in the early stages, the software can complete the conversion as a batch task.
FAQ and Precautions
1. Will batch image to PSD conversion overwrite the original files?
Judging from the example results, the pre-processing files are still in AVIF, BMP, WEBP, PNG, JPEG, HEIC, GIF, and other formats, while corresponding PSD files are generated after processing. During actual operation, it is recommended to set the output location to a new folder. This is more convenient for preserving the original images and can also avoid file confusion caused by operational errors.
2. Will the file names remain consistent?
In the example, the pre-processing files were 1.avif, 2.bmp, 3.webp, etc., and the post-processing files were 1.psd, 2.psd, 3.psd, etc. It can be seen that the converted file names continue the base name of the original file, with only the extension changed to PSD. This result makes it easy for users to quickly find the corresponding PSD file based on the original image.
3. Why is it necessary to check the extensions first?
Batch conversion usually processes multiple files at once, and the extensions in the list can help users quickly determine whether the correct image types have been imported. The screenshot shows avif, bmp, webp, as well as png, jpeg, heic, and gif, indicating that the software has included images of different formats in the same conversion task. Checking the extensions before formal processing can reduce the probability of missing or wrongly selecting files.
4. What subsequent workflows are PSD files suitable for?
PSD is a common design editing format, suitable for subsequent tasks like image editing, material archiving, and visual design handoff. If your workflow requires handing images over to designers for further processing, or you wish to standardize material formats, batch converting to PSD will be more efficient than converting one by one.
Summary: Reducing Repetitive Labor in Image Format Conversion with Batch Processing
Batch converting various image formats to PSD essentially addresses the problem of repetitive operations in office and design collaboration. Through HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , users can first select Image to PSD in the Image Tools, then import image files such as AVIF, BMP, WEBP, PNG, JPEG, HEIC, and GIF, check the list, set the save location, and start processing. The final result is a set of unified PSD files, convenient for subsequent editing, archiving, and delivery.
If you often need to handle image materials in multiple formats, it is recommended to delegate such tasks to a batch processing tool. This not only saves the time of converting images one by one but also makes the file list, save location, and output results clearer, reducing human omissions and repetitive labor.
