Check in this tutorial how to allow Windows to display PSD file thumbnail on the system, from the SageThumbs extension

If you work with image editing, sometimes you must have had difficulties locating files PSD because they don't have a thumbnail (also called a thumbnail) that is a preview of what is in that file. Thinking about making this step easier, which can sometimes be quite boring, we created this tutorial to show you how to solve this problem in Windows.

Plugin to preview PSD file thumbnail

To be able to preview files in file thumbnail PSD, you will need to install a Windows extension called sagethumbs. This extension supports PSD and over 215 image formats, such as NEF, PDF, .vector and others. We highly recommend that you install it. It's also important to note that for this preview to work, you don't need to have the Photoshop installed.

1- Do the download SageThumbs, and install it on Windows.

O Google Drive can also view PSD files. Just upload the image to Google Drive and click on it. The preview will be displayed, and from there you can take a screenshot to use the image in the preview size, or download the PSD file itself and open it in a compatible program, such as itself. Adobe Photoshop or the GIMP.
