PSD to JPG
Convert a Photoshop PSD file to JPG online, free, no Photoshop needed.
Convert PSD to JPG online for free, directly in your browser, with no Photoshop or other software installed. This PSD to JPG converter extracts the flattened composite image from a Photoshop PSD file and saves it as a JPG. This reads the merged preview PSD files store internally; individual layers, layer effects, and adjustment layers are not exported separately.
- Files never leave your device
- Runs entirely in your browser
- Free, no account needed

Download your JPG file
The tool extracts the flattened composite image and re-encodes it as JPG instantly. Download the result directly - no waiting, no Photoshop needed.

How this works in your browser
Photoshop files store a flattened composite preview alongside the editable layer data, which is what lets other applications show a PSD thumbnail without understanding Photoshop layers. This tool parses the PSD structure in JavaScript inside your browser, reads that composite image, draws it onto an HTML5 canvas and exports the canvas as a JPG. Because it reads the preview rather than re-compositing layers, it does not need to interpret layer effects, blend modes or adjustment layers, which is what keeps it fast and possible without Photoshop. Nothing is uploaded: the design file stays on your device throughout.

Frequently asked questions
What it can and cannot do, and what happens to your files.
Is this PSD to JPG converter free?
Yes, completely free with no limit on how many PSD files you convert and no account required.
Do I get access to individual layers?
No. This exports the single flattened composite image, not individual editable layers.
What if my PSD is very large or has many layers?
Very large PSD files (500MB+) or files with unusual color modes may take longer to process, or in rare cases may not parse correctly.
Do I need Photoshop installed to use this?
No. The PSD is parsed entirely in your browser using a JavaScript library, no Photoshop or other software required.
Why does my PSD look different from what I see in Photoshop?
The exported image is the flattened composite Photoshop saved into the file, which reflects layer visibility at the moment it was last saved. If layers were hidden when the file was saved, they will be missing here too.
What happens to transparency?
JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are filled rather than preserved. Use the PSD to PNG tool instead when the design needs a transparent background.
Does the PSD need to be saved with "Maximize Compatibility"?
Yes, effectively. That Photoshop option is what writes the flattened composite preview into the file. A PSD saved without it may have no composite to extract.
