How to convert JPG to PSD
- Drop your JPG files on the box above, or click it to choose them (up to 30 at once).
- Press Convert. Each file is processed on your device and shows its old and new size.
- Download the files one by one or take them all as a ZIP.
What changes when you convert JPG to PSD
- Every decoded pixel is written exactly — PSD is lossless here. Converting cannot restore detail JPG compression already discarded; it only stops further loss.
- JPG images have no transparency, so there is nothing to lose there.
- Camera details and GPS location (EXIF) are not copied into the new file. Photo orientation is applied to the pixels first, so the result is the right way up.
- Expect a much larger file: PSD here is uncompressed, about width × height × 4 bytes — roughly 48 MB for a 12-megapixel photo.
About JPG and PSD files
JPEG is the standard format for photographs. It compresses by discarding fine detail the eye is unlikely to miss, so files are small but every re-save loses a little more.
PSD is Photoshop’s own format. The file written here is a single flattened image (no layers can be created from a flat picture); transparency, if any, becomes the image’s alpha channel. Photoshop, GIMP and Photopea open it. It is a good choice for starting an edit in Photoshop or a tool that asks for a .psd.
Limits
Up to 30 files of 25 MB each per batch and images up to 50 megapixels — beyond that browsers run out of memory, so the tool says so instead of producing a broken file. Files that are not images, or are damaged, are rejected with the reason.
