How PSD to JPG conversion works
Adobe Photoshop Document (PSD) preserves non-destructive editing layers, masks, adjustment layers, and smart objects in a proprietary Adobe format. JPEG Image (JPG) uses lossy DCT compression that permanently discards fine pixel detail to achieve small file sizes, ideal for photographs. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Some pixel detail is discarded by the target's lossy encoder; quality is configurable via the compression setting. The result is a standard JPG file readable by any compatible application. 1converter handles PSD-to-JPG conversion server-side: files are uploaded over HTTPS, processed on isolated cloud infrastructure, and the converted output is available for download for 24 hours before automatic deletion. No account is required for standard conversions.

Where your file goes
- It travels to our server over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is converted there.
- The JPG file comes back as a private link. It stops working after 24 hours on Free and 7 days on paid plans, and then the files are deleted.
