Uploading Adobe Photoshop [PSD] Files

Use Tagboard's Adobe integration to seamlessly convert PSD files into graphics within Tagboard.

You can upload Adobe Photoshop [PSD] files directly into Tagboard to help your team work more efficiently and save your valuable time! PSD files will automatically be converted to Tagboard graphics. These graphics can be further customized in Tagboard's graphics builder.

Before Getting Started

If your PSD file is using custom fonts, then you will FIRST need to upload the font(s) in Tagboard. You will need to name those fonts exactly how they appear within Photoshop.

Uploading PSD Files

To get started,

1. Select "Graphics" from the product menu in the top left corner of the mega menu [or the left navigation menu when on the Creator Workspace home page]
2. Click "+ New Graphic"
3. Followed by choosing the "Upload PSD" option
   1. If you do not see the "Upload PSD" option , contact your CSM or inquire here.
4. Then upload the PSD file either via drag and drop or by choosing a file on your device

You'll need to stay on this screen while the file is uploading. If you navigate away from the page, it will stop your upload. Tagboard will show you a progress bar so you know how much longer to expect.The average upload time is about 1 minute.

Once the upload is complete, you can navigate away from the page while your PSD file is converted to a Tagboard Graphic. The average conversion time is 3-4 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of your PSD file.

Once the upload and conversion is complete, you will see the new Graphic at the top of your list. The title will match the title of your original PSD file.

Click in blank space on the row of your new uploaded PSD file to open and edit the new Graphic! You can use all of the features of Tagboard's Graphic Builder to customize your template, including adding custom fonts, video, data connectors, and more.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Can I upload all Adobe files to Tagboard?

At this time, only Photoshop (PSD) file, with a max file size of 500MB, can be uploaded and converted to a Tagboard graphic.

Will all of my layers be converted into the Tagboard graphic?

All visible layers will be converted as layers in the Tagboard graphic. Hidden layers will not be pulled in.

Will groups and layers in my PSD file be reflected in Tagboard?

Yes! The groups, layers, and naming used in your PSD file will be recreated in your Tagboard graphic. Tagboard will extract all groups and visible layers into images and text boxes in a Tagboard graphic.

Will all of my nested groups be created in the Tagboard graphic?

When you upload a PSD file, Tagboard will extract up to two nested groups. Any nested groups in the PSD file beyond that will be flattened to the second group.

Will my layers be copied in the same position, using the same opacity?

Yes. Your Tagboard graphic will match the layer's position and opacity.

How does canvas size work when converting PSD files to Tagboard?

The canvas size of the Tagboard graphic will match the canvas size from the PSD file. For example, if your PSD uses a 1920x1080 canvas, your Tagboard graphic will also be 1920x1080.

Will text in my PSD file be converted to text in my Tagboard graphic?

Text that is not highly stylized will be converted to a text layer in the Tagboard graphic. It will be converted as a plain text layer using Tagboard's system font. You can customize the font and text styling using Tagboard's graphics builder.

If the text in the PSD file uses advanced styling options allowed in Photoshop that are not supported today in Tagboard (such as embossing), the text will automatically be converted to an image layer.

How many PSD files can I upload and convert at the same time?

At this time, only one PSD file [max size of 500MB] can be uploaded and converted at a time.
