PSD to JPG

Convert a Photoshop .psd to a flattened JPG in this browser tab. The PSD is not uploaded. Free for one file at a time up to 30 MB, no sign-up.

How to convert a PSD to JPG

  1. Drop the .psd file on the converter above, or click it to choose the file.
  2. Check the preview. Transparent areas will be filled with white in the JPG.
  3. Click Download JPG. The file is encoded at 90% quality in your browser.

JPG or PNG?

JPG is a lossy format. Use it for previews, moodboards, email attachments or web images where a smaller file matters more than perfect edges. For UI, logos, screenshots or anything that needs a transparent background, use PSD to PNG: JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white.

When JPG is the better export

  • The document is a photograph or a textured illustration.
  • You need to attach a preview that must stay under an email or form size limit.
  • You are batching many comps and disk size matters (paid batch export).

When you need lossless pixels or transparency, go back to PNG.

Same parsing limits as PNG

Flattening still uses the stored composite when it exists. Adjustment layers, some smart objects, and missing Maximize Compatibility have the same caveats described on PSD to PNG. 16-bit sources are reduced to 8-bit JPEG. Color shifts are more visible in CMYK-to-RGB conversions; do not use this as a print-proof.

Layer-by-layer exports are PNG-only in the first version, via Extract layers from a PSD.

Questions

What quality is the JPG?

JPGs are encoded at quality 90, a good balance of size and detail for previews and web use. If you need lossless pixels, download PNG instead.

What happens to transparency?

JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent and semi-transparent areas are blended onto white. Use PSD to transparent PNG to keep the alpha channel.

Can I convert many PSDs to JPG at once?

Yes, on a paid plan. Drop several files here and use Download all as ZIP; see Batch PSD to PNG for how batches and credits work.

Is the JPG good enough for print?

Use it as a preview, not a print proof. CMYK documents are converted to RGB with an approximate profile, and JPG compression adds small artefacts.
