With just a few simple commands, you can initiate the PSD to PNG conversion process where we specify the input PSD file, and receive the resulting PNG output. This approach allows for seamless integration into existing workflows and automation pipelines, enabling efficient batch processing of PSD files.

The first step is to generate a JWT access token using the following command:

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
 -X POST \
 -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=163c02a1-fcaa-4f79-be54-33012487e783&client_secret=c71cfe618cc6c0944f8f96bdef9813ac" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
 -H "Accept: application/json"

The next step is to execute the following command to save Photoshop as PNG and save the output on local drive.

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/imaging/{sourceImage}/convert?format=png" \
-X GET \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-o "resultant.png"

Replace sourceImage with the name of input PSD file available in cloud storage, and accessToken with JWT access token generated above.
