Can I convert JPG to PSD for free?

Yes. Choose Free quick PSD at the top of this page and add your JPG or JPEG files. Each one becomes a Photoshop document with the photo on a single layer named after the file. It runs in your browser: no sign-in, no credits, nothing uploaded, and it keeps working offline once the converter has loaded. Convert up to 50 files at a time and download them one by one or as a ZIP.

How many layers will the output PSD have?

Layer count depends on the selected setting and image complexity. Auto is best for quick tests; choose a higher count when the JPEG has multiple subjects, text-like graphics, props, or background regions you want to edit separately.

Can I control what AI separates in JPG to PSD conversion?

Separation Notes help prioritize subjects, logos, text-like graphics, shadows, foreground objects, or background areas, and layer count guides how detailed the split should be.

What kind of JPG images get the best results?

Clear JPG or JPEG images with distinct subjects, readable edges, and limited overlap work best. Very small files, heavy blur, dense text, or complex occlusion may need manual cleanup after export.

Will the free JPG to PSD converter change my photo?

The PSD keeps the photo's full pixel size and stores it without another round of JPEG compression, so no further quality is lost. Phone photos are turned upright using their EXIF orientation, and photos with a wide-gamut profile such as Display P3 are converted to sRGB. Keep the DPI stored in the JPG (72 if it has none) or set 72, 150 or 300 DPI.

What is the difference between a quick PSD and AI layers?

A quick PSD puts your whole JPG on one layer; it doesn't separate anything. AI layers use credits and split the photo into separate editable layers, such as the subject, objects, text and a rebuilt background. If you only need a valid PSD file, the quick PSD is enough.

Can I combine several JPG files into one PSD?

Yes. Pick Combine into one PSD and each photo becomes its own named layer in a single document. The canvas grows to fit every photo, or you set a custom size, and photos are centered or placed at the top left. The top of the list becomes the top layer, and you can reorder the list before combining.

What is the largest JPG I can convert for free?

Each photo can be up to 200 MB and 50 megapixels, with no side longer than 30,000 pixels, the PSD maximum. A combined PSD holds up to 100 megapixels of photos on a canvas of up to 50 megapixels. Large photos need a lot of memory, so close other tabs if a conversion fails.

JPG to PSD: Convert JPG and JPEG Files into Editable Layers

Upload a JPG or JPEG and create a Photoshop-ready PSD with organized layers for subjects, logos, text-like graphics, shadows, and backgrounds.

JPG and JPEG input supportedEditable raster layers in a real PSDGenerate online, refine in Photoshop

Upload Image

0/1

Upload Image

JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 24MB. Clear JPG product shots, posters, portraits, and screenshots work best.

Sexual or explicit content isn't allowed. Images and results that contain it are blocked automatically.

Layer Count

Auto

Up to 10 layers

Choose how many editable visual groups AI should create first. Auto stays within 10 layers — more layers take longer to separate. You can split mixed layers again after reviewing the result.

Separation Notes (optional)

Sample:

8 credits per layer.

Beach photo · 5 layers

Real result: 4 people and an AI-reconstructed background, each on its own layer.

Real AI Layers, Not a Flat JPEG in PSD

Image2Layer analyzes a flattened JPEG and rebuilds PSD-ready regions, giving you separate raster layers for visible subjects, logo-like details, shadows, accent graphics, and reconstructed background areas.

Rebuild background areas into editable PSD layers.
Separate subjects, logos, shadows, and text-like graphics.
Keep object positions and visual context aligned with the source image.

Control your JPG to PSD split

Guide the JPG to PSD Layer Split

A short separation note gives the JPG to PSD workflow context: which subject matters, which logo or text-like region should stay separate, and how detailed the final PSD layer stack should be.

Name the regions you care about, such as subject, product, logo, headline, shadow, or background.
Start with Auto, or increase the layer count for denser JPEG scenes.
Check the preview and layer names before downloading the PSD file.

JPG to PSD FAQ

Image2Layer creates a PSD-oriented raster layer stack based on the visible JPEG. Subjects, logos, text-like areas, shadows, and rebuilt background regions can be separated where the image gives enough visual information.
