Batch Text Replacer Script for Adobe Photoshop


Text Layer Replace is an Adobe Photoshop extension script plug-in for Mac and Windows that will automate the replacement of text layers one by one on an open document and save each to a folder as JPG, PNG, TIFF or PSD files. When used together with Smart Layer Replace and Job Queue add-on, multiple text layers and smart layer image replacements can be set to run in a single process, saving many hours of manual labor off a project.

Please view a demonstration video below.

The script can be accessed in the File > Export menu of Adobe Photoshop. One or more text layers must be selected in the Layers panel first before the script can be used. It has been tested to work in Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 up to 2024 for both Windows and Mac.

Features

Import Text from CSV Files or from Image Filenames

Selectively import a CSV column edited and exported from Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc. Database exports can be accepted, too. Image files that are set to replace a smart layer in the same document can have their corresponding filenames used also as text replacements.

Multiple Image Output Formats

Export to JPG, transparent PNG, TIFF or PSD.

Multiple Text Layer Support

With the Job Queue add-on installed, the script can also be applied to more than one text layer. Each text layer content will have its own corresponding set of replacement texts.

Multiple Layer Comps Support

With the Job Queue add-on installed, the script can save separate exports of other layer comps that are present in the PSD. Appended to the filenames are the layer comp names. You can select which layer comps to export in the Layer Comps tab add-on.

Smart Layer Replace Compatible

Replace text layers along with smart objects by using Smart Layer Replace extension and the Job Queue add-on.

Multiple Target PSD’s Support

With the Job Queue and Job Targets add-ons installed, the script can do the same set of text layer replacements on other PSD target files. You can either set it to replace only those text layers with matching names as the main PSD the script is running on, or replace both matching text layer names and whatever available non-matching text layer contents are remaining.

Custom Filename Format

With the Job Queue and File Options add-ons installed, you can set your own custom filename segments based on the input text, target document filename, or custom text.
