PSD to JPG
Convert a Photoshop PSD to JPG in your browser at the quality you choose. Transparent areas become white, as JPG requires. No Photoshop, no upload, no watermark.

Worth knowing
A PSD saved without “Maximise Compatibility” has no flattened preview inside it. Those cannot be converted to an image without guessing at blend modes and masks, so they are refused rather than converted wrongly — layer extraction still works on them.
JPG cannot store transparency — clear areas become white. Use PSD to PNG if that matters.
Choose JPG deliberately, not by default
JPG is the right answer for photographic work: a retouched portrait, a product shot, anything with continuous tone. It compresses that kind of image beautifully, and the file is a fraction of the size of a PNG.
It is the wrong answer for most of what else people build in Photoshop. Logos, interface mock-ups, posters and anything with flat colour and hard edges pick up a faint fuzz along every boundary, because JPG works by discarding detail the eye supposedly will not miss. On a photograph that is invisible. On a crisp edge it is not, and the file is often larger than the PNG would have been.
Transparency becomes white
JPG has no way to store transparency, so every clear area has to become some colour. White is used here because it is what people expect and what looks right on a page.
Worth knowing why that choice has to be made explicitly: an untouched canvas is fully transparent, and transparency flattens to black rather than white. A converter that does not handle this hands you a logo on a black rectangle. PSD to PNG keeps the transparency instead.
Quality, and why to export once
Above roughly 90 the improvements become hard to see while the file grows quickly. Below roughly 70 the artefacts are obvious on any hard edge. The default of 92 sits where most people would land after experimenting.
JPG also loses a little more every time it is saved, so always export afresh from the PSD rather than re-saving a JPG repeatedly. The PSD is lossless and can be exported as many times as you like.
Accuracy
The conversion uses the flattened preview Photoshop stores inside the file, so what you get is what Photoshop shows — blend modes, masks and adjustment layers included. A file saved without Maximise Compatibility has no such preview and is refused rather than rebuilt from layers, because rebuilding means guessing and guessing wrong looks convincing.
Questions people ask
Should I use JPG or PNG?
JPG for photographic work, where it makes usefully smaller files. PNG for anything with transparency, flat colour or hard edges — a logo, a UI mock-up, a poster comp — where JPG leaves visible fuzz along every edge.
Why is the background white?
JPG has no way to store transparency, so every clear area has to become something. White is used because it is what people expect on a page. PSD to PNG keeps it clear.
What quality should I choose?
Above about 90 the improvements are hard to see and the file grows quickly. Below about 70 the artefacts become obvious on hard edges. 92 is a sensible default.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The PSD is read in this browser tab. Turn off your Wi-Fi and it still works.
