Converting to PSD won't restore lost quality
Your JPG file has already undergone lossy compression. Converting to PSD preserves what's left — it prevents further degradation from re-saving — but it will not magically sharpen a blurry image or recover discarded audio frequencies.
お手持ちのJPG画像を、編集自由度の高いPSD形式へ変換しませんか？ 写真やイラスト、ビジネス文書など、様々なJPGファイルが日々の業務や創作活動で使われています。しかし、一度JPGにしてしまうと、後からの細かい修正やレイヤーごとの調整は困難です。例えば、キャラクターの表情を少しだけ変えたい時、ロゴの色合いを微調整したい時、あるいは会議資料の特定の図形だけを動かしたい時など、PSD形式であれば、元の要素を保持したまま柔軟に対応できます。 当社の変換ツールは、画質の劣化を最小限に抑えつつ、お客様のJPGファイルをプロフェッショナルなPSDファイルへと生まれ変わらせます。これにより、デザインの可能性が広がり、作業効率も格段に向上することでしょう。もう、修正のたびに最初からやり直す必要はありません。あなたの創造性と生産性を、この変換ツールが強力にサポートします。

縦書き文化が根強い日本では、PSDでテキストレイヤーを保持することで、後からのフォント変更や行間調整が容易になり、特にDTPや出版分野で重宝されます。
