Convert PSD to JPG

Someone sent you a Photoshop file and you have no Photoshop. Turn it into a JPG anyone can open, in your browser.

Drop a .psd above, get a JPG of the finished design back.

Someone sent you a Photoshop file and you do not have Photoshop. A designer sends a mock-up, an agency sends artwork, a photographer sends the retouched shot, and the file will not open in anything you own. Photoshop is a subscription, and the file is already sitting in your downloads folder waiting to be looked at.

What comes out is the flattened composite. Photoshop saves a finished picture alongside the layers so other software has something to display, and that is the design exactly as the designer last saved it. Layers, masks, adjustment settings and smart objects stay in the .psd, untouched and unreadable here.

JPG is the right choice when the design is going to a person. Email it, put it in a document, print it, send it back with comments. Files run a small fraction of the .psd, which can reach hundreds of megabytes because it is storing every layer separately.

If the design has transparency, use PSD to PNG instead. JPG has no transparency and fills those areas with white, which matters for a logo and not at all for a poster.

Client work stays on your machine. Unreleased branding, campaign artwork and anything under an NDA has no business being uploaded to a stranger's server for a format conversion, and nothing here is.

A folder of mock-ups converts in one drop.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Photoshop for this?

No. The file carries a flattened preview of the finished design alongside its layers, and that is what comes out.

Can I get the layers out?

Not here. Layers, masks and adjustments stay inside the .psd; what you get is the design as one picture. Editing them needs Photoshop or something that reads its layer format, such as Photopea or Affinity Photo.

Why is my JPG so much smaller than the PSD?

Because the .psd stores every layer separately at full resolution, plus masks, channels and metadata. A 400MB design file commonly flattens to a JPG of a couple of megabytes.

It says the flattened preview won't read. Why?

The file was saved with Maximize Compatibility turned off, which omits the composite. Save a copy from Photoshop with that option on, and there will be a picture to hand back.

What about transparency?

JPG cannot store it, so transparent areas arrive white. PSD to PNG keeps them.
