Quality & Fidelity
JPEG Image is known for excellent compression for photos with adjustable quality levels. This means your converted output will benefit from JPEG Image's core strengths. Meanwhile, the original Photoshop Document's advantage of complete preservation of all editing data including layers and adjustment history may not fully carry over, depending on JPEG Image's capabilities. Artifacts — unwanted visual or auditory imperfections — are minimized through Xonvert's tuned encoding parameters. For JPEG Image, the default quality settings sit well above the threshold where artifacts become noticeable. Converting from lossless to lossy means some data will be discarded for smaller file size. The quality reduction is carefully controlled.
Converting between image formats is one of the most common file operations. When moving from Photoshop Document to JPEG Image, key considerations include color depth preservation, transparency support, and compression artifacts. Moving from lossless Photoshop Document to lossy JPEG Image will reduce file size significantly, potentially by 50-90%. Some fine detail may be simplified during compression, but at Xonvert's default quality settings the difference is virtually imperceptible to the human eye.
Transparency note: PSD supports transparency, but JPG does not. Transparent areas will be replaced with a solid background color (typically white) during conversion.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless PSD source retains all original data. Converting to lossy JPG will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
