Hi @sonia36111858wtl4! Thanks for reaching out.

When you go to File > Save a Copy, you should normally see an option to save as a JPEG. Are you not seeing that? If not, try going to Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling and make sure “Enable Legacy Save As” is checked.

Also, just a heads-up: JPEG doesn’t support 16-bit files, layers, alpha channels, or transparency. So if your file includes any of those, that might be why the option isn’t showing up.

Hope that helps! Let me know how it goes.
