Why Convert PSD to JPEG?
People convert PSD to JPEG to significantly reduce file size — JPEG photos are typically 5–10× smaller than lossless PSD.
JPEG (developed by Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992) is the required format for many platforms — stock photo sites, email, and social networks. If your PSD contains a photograph rather than a logo or screenshot, converting to JPEG loses very little visible quality at high quality settings while dramatically reducing file size and bandwidth usage.
