How it works

The picture Photoshop saved

A PSD holds a flattened copy of all visible layers next to the layers themselves. That copy is what becomes your JPG, so it looks the way the file looked when it was saved.

You pick the background

JPG has no transparency. Clear and soft-edged areas are blended onto a colour you choose, white by default, and the preview shows it before you download.

Every JPG is read back

Before download the JPG is decoded again and must come back at the full image size. If the browser cannot draw it that large, nothing is downloaded and the page says why.

Unsupported PSDs are named

CMYK, Lab and 32-bit files, and files saved without Maximize Compatibility, would come out with wrong colours or blank. The page names the problem and tells you how to re-save instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a PSD to JPG?

Upload the PSD or PSB file, pick the quality and press Download JPG. The JPG is read back before it is saved.

Do I need Photoshop?

No. The file is read in your browser. It works on any PSD saved with its full-size composite image, which Photoshop writes unless Maximize Compatibility is turned off.

What happens to transparent areas?

JPG cannot hold transparency, so they are blended onto a fill colour. It is white by default and you can pick any other. To keep transparency, use PSD to PNG.

Which quality should I pick?

High (92) looks the same as the original for most images at a fraction of the size. Pick Maximum for print and Small file for quick sharing.

Can I get the layers separately?

No. The JPG is the flattened image Photoshop saved with the file. Drawing each layer would need Photoshop's blend modes and effects, which are not rebuilt here.

Which PSDs does it refuse?

CMYK, Lab, Duotone and Multichannel files, 32-bit HDR files, and files saved with Maximize Compatibility off, which carry no full-size composite. The page names the reason and how to re-save the file.

Is there a size limit?

500 MB for the file and 40 megapixels for the image. A larger image is refused with its real size, never scaled down without telling you.

Is my PSD uploaded anywhere?

No. The PSD is read and converted in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
