About PSD to JPEG conversion
PSD is developed by Thomas and John Knoll and published by Adobe in 1990 and is the the dominant working format for graphic artists and designers for Photoshop layered artwork, commercial graphic design. JPEG was created by Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992 and is best for photographs, web images. Converting PSD to JPEG typically reduces file size by 60-80% with no visible quality loss at normal viewing sizes — perfect for email, web uploads, and sharing. PSD files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to JPEG solves compatibility issues.
