How to Convert PSD to JPEG in .NET (with Quality Settings)

JPEG is the world’s most widely used image format. Aspose.PSD for .NET makes it easy to convert PSD files to high-quality, compressed JPEGs in code—ideal for the web, sharing, or archiving.

Real-World Problem

Designers and developers often need to convert layered PSDs into lightweight JPEGs for sites, catalogs, or email. Manual conversion is slow and error-prone for large volumes or batch jobs.

Solution Overview

Script PSD-to-JPEG conversion using Aspose.PSD for .NET, customizing output quality and compression for perfect results every time.

Prerequisites

  1. Visual Studio 2019 or later
  2. .NET 6.0 or later (or .NET Framework 4.6.2+)
  3. Aspose.PSD for .NET from NuGet
  4. PSD file(s) to convert
PM> Install-Package Aspose.PSD

Step-by-Step Implementation

Step 1: Load the PSD File 

using Aspose.PSD;
using Aspose.PSD.FileFormats.Psd;
using Aspose.PSD.ImageOptions;

string inputFile = "./input/photo.psd";
string outputFile = "./output/photo.jpg";

var loadOptions = new PsdLoadOptions() { LoadEffectsResource = true };
PsdImage image = (PsdImage)Image.Load(inputFile, loadOptions);

Step 2: Set JPEG Options (Quality, etc.) 

var jpegOptions = new JpegOptions()
{
    Quality = 85 // Value from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest quality, least compression)
};

Step 3: Save as JPEG 

image.Save(outputFile, jpegOptions);
image.Dispose();

Use Cases and Applications

  • Convert PSD assets for websites, emails, or digital catalogs
  • Batch-convert large PSD folders for sharing
  • Generate optimized images for online platforms

Common Challenges and Solutions

File too large/small: Adjust the Quality property to tune JPEG size and compression.

Color mismatch: Always check color profiles or use sRGB for web compatibility.

Best Practices

  • Always preview results before publishing
  • Backup PSDs before batch jobs
  • Use clear naming conventions for output files

FAQ

Q: Can I convert multiple PSD files at once? A: Yes—loop through your folder and run the same script.

Q: Can I set progressive/interlaced JPEG output? A: Yes—see JpegOptions documentation for more advanced settings.
