PSD is Photoshop's layered format; JPG, by contrast, is the small, universally viewable photo format. This tool reads the embedded merged preview (the composite) and outputs a compact JPG - ideal when you send a finished design or a photographic composite and small file size matters more than transparency.
Everything runs locally in your browser (ag-psd, pure JavaScript, no upload, even offline). It reads the composite, not the layers. JPG has no transparency: transparent areas are flattened onto a white background (so they do not turn black). JPG is lossy and re-compresses - great for photos and colour-rich composites; for crisp logos, UI graphics or when you need transparency, PNG (PSD to PNG) is the better choice. Very large canvases are capped, and a PSD without a composite is rejected honestly.
You will meet this when emailing a design preview, attaching a mockup where file size counts, or putting a flat composite on the web. JPG is the smallest, most compatible choice for photographic content; it discards transparency and re-encodes, so for line art or icons the rule still holds: prefer PNG.

The tool reads the composite and flattens transparency onto white.
Download the JPG (several as a ZIP).
Limitations: It exports the flat composite (the embedded preview), not the layers. JPG has no alpha channel: transparency is flattened onto white. The output is lossy (re-compression). The PSD must contain a composite ("Maximize Compatibility"), otherwise a clear error. Very large canvases are capped. Embedded metadata such as EXIF data or ICC colour profiles in the PSD is not exported along with it - only the flat composite image.
FAQ
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion happens entirely locally in the browser - even offline.
Are the layers preserved?
No. It exports the merged composite, not the individual layers.
What happens to transparency?
JPG cannot store transparency; transparent areas are flattened onto white. To keep transparency, use "PSD to PNG".
Is the output lossy?
Yes, JPG re-compresses. For crisp logos and UI graphics, PNG is the better choice.
My PSD is rejected ("no composite")?
Re-save it in Photoshop with "Maximize Compatibility" enabled.
