Why convert PSD to JPG?
PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native format, storing a flattened composite plus editable layers, masks, and effects. JPG is a lossy format tuned for photographs, trading a little detail for dramatically smaller files.
JPG does not support transparency, so any transparent areas in your PSD are flattened onto a solid white background. Moving from PSD to JPG usually shrinks the file significantly thanks to JPG's efficient compression — great for websites, email, and saving storage. JPG opens on every device, browser, and app, which is frequently the whole reason to convert away from PSD.
Pixohub converts PSD to JPG entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API and an in-browser PSD decoder, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many PSD files into JPG as you like. Reach for JPG whenever you need photographs and richly detailed images where a small file size matters most.
PSD vs JPG: what to expect
PSD is best for layered editing in Photoshop and design hand-off, while JPG shines for photographs and richly detailed images where a small file size matters most. Keep your original PSD if you may later need its transparency, and export a JPG copy for sharing and the web.
