Documentation

Every feature, one workflow.

PSDmate turns a layered PSD and a folder of artwork into published Etsy listings. This page walks the whole pipeline — and how to get the most out of each stage.

The full toolkit

Fifteen tools across three jobs: creating mockups, selling them, and knowing what worked.

Create

Generate

Upload artwork or type a prompt to create it with AI, then render mockups ready to publish. A free FLUX model is included — no API key needed.

Pro tip: Save style presets to keep every collection visually consistent.

Bulk

Drop up to 50 artwork images at once. All mockups render in parallel and land in a single ZIP download.

Pro tip: Name files after the design — filenames follow through to outputs and listings.

Frames

Each PSD you upload becomes a reusable frame. PSDmate finds the Smart Object layer and places your artwork into it automatically. Group frames into layouts to render every variation in one run.

Pro tip: One good layout replaces dozens of manual renders per design.

Video

Turn mockup outputs or library images into slideshow videos with music and transitions, sized for Etsy and Instagram.

Pro tip: Listings with video hold attention longer — lead with one.

History

Every generation run is saved. Re-download ZIPs, view the original artwork, or send it through new frames.

Pro tip: Re-run old bestsellers through newly added frames for instant variations.

Projects

A workspace per product line, with a built-in Photopea editor for fixing PSDs without leaving the browser.

Pro tip: Rename a stubborn Smart Object layer right in the editor.

Sell

Inspo Board

Your creative reference library — collect visual ideas and feed them back into AI prompts.

Pro tip: Pin what sells in your niche, not just what looks good.

Auto-publish

Finished mockups go straight to your Etsy shop as draft listings with AI-written title, tags, and description. No approval step here — review them in Etsy and activate when you are happy.

Pro tip: Nothing ever goes live on its own. Every listing stops at draft.

Connected Apps

Connect your Etsy shop via OAuth and hook up fulfillment like PrintShrimp. Your tokens are encrypted at rest.

Pro tip: Connect Etsy first — publishing, sales, and performance all depend on it.

Track & account

Finance

Revenue, fees, expenses, and profit per listing — plus sending tracking numbers to Etsy buyers. No spreadsheets.

Pro tip: Log expenses as they happen; tax time becomes an export.

Sales

Etsy sales paired with your posters automatically using visual matching — see exactly which designs sell.

Pro tip: Double down on the top 20% of designs; retire the rest.

Performance

Track listing traction, spot fading listings, fix SEO, and bulk-edit tags across the shop.

Pro tip: Refresh tags on fading listings before creating new ones.

Settings

Account, theme, app preferences, and your own OpenRouter API key for AI image generation.

Pro tip: Adding your own key unlocks paid models at cost — no markup.

Get the most out of PSDmate

Habits that separate sellers shipping 10 listings a week from those shipping 100.

  • Batch everything

    The Bulk page takes 50 artworks per run and renders in parallel. One upload session can produce an entire collection.

  • Learn the Queue keys

    A approve · R reject · E edit title · ↑↓ move. Clearing 30 drafts takes minutes, not an afternoon.

  • Research first, render second

    Validate a niche on the Research page before generating artwork. Watched keywords send weekly trend alerts so you catch demand early.

  • One PSD, many layouts

    Group frames into layouts on the Frames page. Each generation run then produces every size and frame variation of a design at once.

  • Bring your own AI keys

    Add your OpenRouter key in Settings to generate artwork. Pick a higher-tier model when you want stronger results for hero listings.

  • Close the loop weekly

    Check Performance for fading listings, fix their tags, and feed winning designs from Sales back into new variations.

Good to know

  • PSD limits: files up to 500 MB (ten per upload), and Smart Objects must be embedded — externally linked ones can't be read.
  • Nothing auto-publishes. Every listing is a draft until you approve it in the Queue.
  • Uploads are direct. Files go straight to storage via signed URLs, so large PSDs don't time out.
  • Your Etsy connection is yours. OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest and used only for actions you trigger.
  • Outputs stay available in your account, and for 30 days after account deletion.
