PSD to JPG

Convert a Photoshop PSD file's flattened composite image to JPG — free, private, and processed entirely in your browser.

About the PSD to JPG Converter

A PSD is Photoshop's native working file — layers, adjustment layers, smart objects, and all — which most other software, and most people, can't actually open. Every PSD also stores a flattened composite: the single merged image Photoshop shows as a preview, generated automatically whenever the file is saved. This tool extracts that composite and converts it to JPG, giving you a small, universally compatible image file anyone can open, without needing Photoshop.

This is a flatten-and-export tool, not a layer editor — it reads the embedded composite image exactly as Photoshop rendered it, rather than reconstructing each layer, blend mode, and effect from scratch. Parsing and conversion run entirely locally in your browser; your PSD is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this preserve my individual layers?

No — this tool exports the single flattened composite image already embedded in the PSD, the same merged view you'd see as its thumbnail in Photoshop or Finder. It's built for getting a usable image out of a PSD quickly, not for editing layers.

Why would I choose JPG instead of PNG?

JPG produces a much smaller file, better for sharing, emailing, or uploading somewhere with a size limit — choose PSD to PNG instead if your design has transparency you need to keep, since JPG doesn't support an alpha channel.

What if I get an error about color mode or bit depth?

PSDs saved in CMYK, Lab, or Multichannel color mode, or at 16-bit/32-bit depth, aren't currently supported — you'll see a clear error rather than a broken or discolored image. Re-saving the file in RGB, 8-bit mode from Photoshop (Image > Mode) resolves this.

Is my PSD file uploaded to a server?

No. Parsing and conversion happen entirely locally in your browser.
