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.

import { psdToJson } from "@polotno/psd-import";
import { createStore } from "polotno/model/store";
const buffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
const json = await psdToJson({ psd: buffer });
const store = createStore({ key: "YOUR_KEY" });
store.loadJSON(json);
await store.saveAsImage({
fileName: "design.jpg",
mimeType: "image/jpeg",
