How do I convert PSB to JPG?

Upload your PSB file above. It is converted to JPG automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.

Does converting PSB to JPG lose quality?

JPG is lossy, so some fine detail is discarded to make the file smaller. Raise the quality in Settings for a closer copy.

Will the JPG keep the transparent background?

No. JPG can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you pick in Settings (white by default).

PSB or JPG: which should I use?

Use PSB for huge Photoshop projects larger than a PSD allows. Use JPG for photos you share, email, print or upload. Keep in mind the main drawback of JPG: no transparency, and every re-save loses a little more detail.

PSB is Photoshop’s large-document format for files bigger than 2 GB or wider than 30,000 pixels, such as panoramas and large-format print designs.

Can I convert PSB to JPG without Photoshop?

PSB to JPG: a shareable image from a large Photoshop document

Photoshop uses PSB for documents that outgrow the PSD format, so these files tend to be panoramas, big composites and large-format print layouts. The converter doesn't rebuild the layers; it reads the flattened composite Photoshop stores inside the file and turns that into the JPG. If the result is blank or doesn't match your canvas, re-save the PSB in Photoshop with Maximize Compatibility switched on, the setting that stores that composite.

Size is the usual obstacle. Uploads are limited per file to 20 MB on the free plan, 50 MB on Premium and 120 MB on Pro, and the converter also caps the total pixel count, so a giant canvas can be refused even when the file fits. For a huge document, save a reduced copy from Photoshop's Image Size dialog first; if you save that copy as a PSD, the PSD to JPG page takes it.

JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas of the canvas are filled with the Background fill color in Settings, white unless you choose another. Quality starts at 90; keep it there or higher for layouts with text so colored lettering stays crisp. To keep the transparency instead, convert the PSB to PNG; to fit an email or upload form, reduce the JPG to about 1 MB.
