JPG is the format every email client, photo gallery, and upload-this-image form actually accepts. Photoshop's PSD-to-JPG export means launching Photoshop. This converter parses your .psd in the browser and gives you back a clean JPEG, with the option to edit the design in a full Polotno editor first. No Photoshop license, no upload, no server.
Layer-aware, not a thumbnail
Most online "PSD to JPG" converters extract the composite preview thumbnail Photoshop bakes into the file, which is why their output looks soft and locked at a small resolution. This one walks the layer tree, loads everything into a live design, and renders fresh at the canvas's native resolution. Text comes out crisp because it's rendered as text, not as a flattened bitmap.
Edit during conversion
After the PSD parses, the design opens inside the embedded Polotno editor. Move layers, retype text, swap photos, recolor shapes, or just click Download as JPGif no edits are needed. This is the practical wedge against Photoshop for one-off jobs: you don't need a Creative Cloud subscription to fix a typo on a flyer.
Smaller files, no transparency
JPG trades the alpha channel and a touch of fidelity for dramatically smaller files, usually 5-10× smaller than the equivalent PNG. Right for photos, gradients, social posts, email attachments. If your design needs transparency or has razor-sharp edges (logos, screenshots), use the PSD to PNG converter instead.

const buffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
const json = await psdToJson({ psd: buffer });
const store = createStore({ key: "YOUR_KEY" });
store.loadJSON(json);
await store.saveAsImage({
