Convert PSD to JPG Online

Need to turn a PSD file into JPG? PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native document, holding layers, masks, text and effects in an editable stack. To share a PSD as a normal picture you flatten it to a standard format - Which is exactly what converting does. JPG (also written JPEG) is the world's most widely supported photo format. It uses lossy compression that throws away detail the eye barely notices, which keeps photographic files small while staying compatible with virtually every device, browser and app. Converting from PSD to JPG bridges the two: you keep the picture, but in a format that fits where you are taking it.

What to expect converting PSD to JPG

File size

JPG is far smaller than a layered PSD since layers are flattened and compressed.

Quality

All layers merge into one lossy image and transparency is filled with a background color.

Best used when

You need a flat, shareable preview or final export of a Photoshop document.

Think twice when

You still need the editable layers, masks, or transparency of the PSD.
