Is there a way to know how much each layer is contributing to final size of a Photoshop document?

Ob bottom left change try document sizes.Then delete layers and watch as the number updates (may take 1 or 2 seconds)

According to Photoshop help:

The number on the left represents the printing size of the image—approximately the size of the saved, flattened file in Adobe Photoshop format.

But the approximation must be way off as file sizes are smaller in test I diid on psd format just now was about half the approximated size.

Hi,

This techniques is only practical of you do not have lots of Layers.

Firstly make sure you try this with a duplicated file by going: Image> Duplicate.

Next select a Layer that you think may be heavy and delete it.

The file size will reduce, by the size that particular Layer is.

It may be one Layer that's the problem or multiple.

Consider merging Layers where possible also.

I hope this helps!

As far as I can tell not in an efficient way and for all kinds of Layers.

psd uses compression, so a pixel Layer’s exact size-contribution seems difficult to predict.

What makes you ask?

OK, but if a PS document that should be small is large in size is usually because a specific layer. I do not need an exact size-contribution calculation. Just to identify which layer is responsible for huge size because of some large embedded image.

The thing is all layers other than a background layer can be any size and a smart object layer's object can be embedded or linked and the pixels rendered for the layer may be huge un number but the Place associated transform may transform the layer to fit on canvas so the layer bounds will be less or equal to canvas size however the layer itself is huge because of the number of pixels rendered for the layer. So its not an easy job to even get the weigh of all the different layer types and know what will be in the saved layered file. Layer sizes very all over the map. The more layers a document has the more sizes layer sizes you can have and many can be huge.
