PSD is your working file; JPG is your sharing file. When clients, social platforms, or email recipients need to actually see your Photoshop work, JPG is the format that always opens.

Drop Adobe Photoshop .psd files from Creative Cloud, local exports, or third-party Photoshop-compatible tools.
Layers composite to a single image. Any transparent regions fill with a white background (JPG has no alpha). JPEG encoding applies at quality 90 — visually indistinguishable from quality 100.
Output JPGs are typically 5–20× smaller than the source PSD — ideal for email attachments, social uploads, and messaging. Filenames preserved with .jpg extension.

Use -define psd:alpha-unblend=off to disable alpha blenning in the merged image. Use -define psd:additional-info=all|selective to transfer additional information from the input PSD file to output PSD file. The 'selective' option will preserve all additional information that is not related to the geometry of the image. The 'all' option should only be used when the geometry of the image has not been changed. This option is helpful when transferring non-simple layers, such as adjustment layers from the input PSD file to the output PSD file. This define is available as of Imagemagick version 6.9.5-8. Use -define psd:preserve-opacity-mask=true to preserve the opacity mask of a layer and add it back to the layer when the image is saved.

Note, JPG is a lossy compression. In addition, you cannot create black and white images with JPG nor can you save transparency. Requires jpegsrc.v8c.tar.gz. You can set quality scaling for luminance and chrominance separately (e.g. -quality 90,70). You can optionally define the DCT method, for example to specify the float method, use -define jpeg:dct-method=float. By default we compute optimal Huffman coding tables. Specify -define jpeg:optimize-coding=false to use the default Huffman tables. Two other options include -define jpeg:block-smoothing and -define jpeg:fancy-upsampling. Set the sampling factor with -define jpeg:sampling-factor. You can size the image with jpeg:size, for example -define jpeg:size=128x128. To restrict the maximum file size, use jpeg:extent, for example -define jpeg:extent=400KB. To define one or more custom quantization tables, use -define jpeg:q-table=filename. These values are multiplied by -quality argument divided by 100.0. To avoid reading a particular associated image profile, use -define profile:skip=name (e.g. profile:skip=ICC).
