There are a few reasons why Photoshop may not let you save a file as a JPG. One reason is that the file may be too large. Photoshop has a maximum file size for JPGs, and if the file is too large, it will not let you save it as a JPG. Another reason is that the file may not be in the right format.
PRO TIP: When attempting to save a file as a JPG in Photoshop, users may receive the error message “Why Won’t Photoshop Let Me Save as JPG?” This is due to a number of reasons, the most common being that the file is already saved as a JPG, or that the file is too large to be saved as a JPG. Other reasons include attempting to save a layer as a JPG, or using an invalid format for the file.
Photoshop can only save JPGs if they are in the RGB color format. If the file is in another color format, such as CMYK, it will not let you save it as a JPG. Finally, Photoshop may not let you save a JPG if the image contains transparent areas. JPGs do not support transparency, so Photoshop will not let you save an image with transparency as a JPG.
