If you’re looking for some type of tool that automates the process, it does not exist. There’s also not any sort of way to simply export or save a PSD file as an INDD. That’s not to say, however, that there isn’t any type of work-around. In fact, you can technically make this conversion in a sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here’s how to turn your PSD file into an INDD manually. You will need to have access to Adobe InDesign software for this to work. First, create a new InDesign project document. Use the ‘Place’ feature (File > Place) to input your PSD file. You’ll then be able to save this image in an INDD format. Though this isn’t a direct conversion, it offers users a chance to move their PSD into the INDD extension.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-43336\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"457\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192129\u002Fconvert-psd-to-indd-2.jpg\" alt=\"Businesspeople working on changing digital properties.\" class=\"wp-image-43336\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192129\u002Fconvert-psd-to-indd-2.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192129\u002Fconvert-psd-to-indd-2-450x257.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192129\u002Fconvert-psd-to-indd-2-768x439.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This conversion requires unique strategy.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-5--why-make-this-conversion\">Why make this conversion?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a couple different reasons someone might want their PSD file to be in the format of INDD. The first scenario would be in the case of some type of accessibility issue. For example, say you were working on a project and had to share a file with another team member. If they said they wanted it in INDD format so they could edit using the program of their choice, it would make sense for you to put it into this format for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another reason this conversion would make sense is the differences in capabilities of these file types. The PSD is specifically suited for large editing projects, while the INDD is better for layered print projects. If you need less editing and more page-to-page input, it might make sense to switch over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the day, there’s no clean way to convert the PSD to INDD.
