The .jpg filename extension refers to digital photography files or digital images that are associated with the JPEG file format specification. The joint photographic experts group, or JPEG for short, is a file format from the 'lossy image' class of image formats. Many devices including smartphones with inbuilt cameras and professional digital SLR cameras support the JPEG/Exif file format natively. Such support allow images captured on these devices to be stored directly into the jpg format without conversion. Efforts towards standardization of the JPEG format first begun in 1992 with ISO/IEC 10918-1:1994
A .psd extension file is an image file created with the help of Adobe Photoshop. PSD is the default extension used for saving a Photoshop Image which can have either a single or multiple layers which can be worked individually even after having saved the file. The file can also be saved in other formats like .jpg, .tiff, .gif or other imaging formats but if a user wants to edit the individual layers later, it is necessary to save the .psd file without overwriting it while converting it to another format. Converting a .psd extension file into an image file in another format flattens the image so that it can be viewed as a regular image. The images created using this extension are of a very high resolution and the quality in terms of clarity is extremely good as compared to other commonly used image formats like .jpg, .png or .bmp.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for JPG to PSD conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload JPG files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized PSD results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent PSD audio with dependable progress tracking.
Being a 'lossy image' file format, digital image files saved as .jpg files use encoding algorithms that make inexact approximations of the photographic data to save on storage space during compression. This allows for relatively small files that are suited for delivery over networks or in low bandwidth scenarios. The jpg file format is flexible in that it accommodates a tradeoff between the size of the file and the image quality during compression. Image compression may leave noticeable artifacts in the produced image. The maximum resolution supported by the JPEG format is 4 Giga pixels.
The maximum height and width of a .psd extension file cannot exceed 30,000 pixels and its size cannot exceed 2 GB which is the maximum limit for these files, however, this may change in future. The biggest advantage of creating a .psd extension file as compared to other image formats is that this format has the ability to store lots of information including text, layers, color profiles, masks, transparencies and alpha channels. The PSD format is divided into 5 parts which include the file header, color mode data, resources to edit the image, image related data and lastly the layer and mask information. The file header includes the version, image width, pixel width and height, number of channels and bits per channel. Color mode data provides information related to the length and image resources gives the resource ID to indicate the type of data stored in each block. Data related to the image, method of compressing the data, pixel data of the image are included in the image related data whereas information related to layers, image blending range and parameters used for masking are included in the layer and mask information.
