●●SolidNiche GemSolve My Problem

Finally converts 90s PSP files to SVG when ImageMagick can't handle the format.

Strengths
  • •Handles both vector paths and raster layers in single conversion output
  • •Zero dependencies for core PSP-to-SVG parsing logic keeps it lightweight
  • •Honest documentation of unsupported features like JPEG-compressed PSP files
Weaknesses
  • •No support for JPEG-compressed PSP files or native text layers
  • •Rectangular gradients approximated as radial in SVG output loses fidelity
Target Audience

Designers and developers with legacy PSP graphics files
