    Photopea imports with layers but flattens when saving (exporting).

    Photopea (an online Photoshop clone) loads layered FW png files and allows you to export as a layered psd file for import into other apps. 

    The conversion is not perfect: vectors are, I believe, converted to bitmap, for example.
