psdtojpg 0.1.0

psdtojpg

Version 0.1.0

Convert one or more PSD files to JPG format. Thumbnail and optimize them, or don’t.

I keep many of the assets I use for web development in PSD format. This lets me perform non-destructive edits and crops in Photoshop and come back to edit the originals later. I built psdtojpg to make it easier to generate, downsize, and optimize JPGs from my asset PSDs.

Installation

This is a Python 3 script, so use pip3 to install:

pip3 install psdtojpg

After this, run psdtojpg --help from your terminal to verify it’s installed properly.

Usage

psdtojpg my_file.psd

psdtojpg -w 640 -t 480 my_file.psd

psdtojpg -w 640 -t 480 -n my_file.psd

psdtojpg -q 60 my_file.psd

psdtojpg -o my_file.psd

psdtojpg -w 800 -t 600 -g orig -r thumb/sm my_file.psd

Requirements

Python 3. (Tested with Python 3.4.1 on Mac OS X 10.9.3.)

Relies on the following packages:

• Pillow, the Python 3 PIL fork

• psd-tools

Optional dependencies:

• For image optimization on OS X: ImageOptim CLI—install with npm install -g imageoptim-cli
