Create multiple artboards from a CSV File

[Ernesto TK]

Hello! 

I often have to create multiple artboards in photoshop, and I was asking myself if there wasn't a script or plugin allowing to create multiple artboards from a .CSV or excel file.

I am wasting so much time at creating art board at the right size, and naming them after their dimensions:

I am aware something like this is possible in illustrator, from what I have seen in another thread:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/question-creating-artboards-at-different-size...

The same would exist for photoshop ?

Thank you for your upcoming answers

Perhaps easier to do if all the artboards are the same size, probably harder if they are all random sizes and orientations. 

I think you are right on that one!

I wonder whether the OP might have some completely different arrangement than one column/one line in mind. 

Like an ultimately roughly square or landscape arrangement of all the artboards to make better use of the screen real estate.

No, I'm just used to work with a linear/horizontal workflow rather than a vertical one, it's only a preference. Nothing much…I feel easily "overwhelmed" by a packed workspace. 

Thank you for your answers 🙂

Hi Ernesto! 
You could also try the Multiple Artboard Generator for Adobe Illustrator script I created:
https://iamharm.gumroad.com/l/MultipleArtboardsFromCSV

This script generates multiple artboards in Adobe Illustrator for you from a csv file. You specify the names for the artboards and their dimensions in the csv file and the script will do the rest. When you run the script there is a dialogue box that will allow you to specify the units (pt, px, mm, in) as well as the spacing between the artboards.

I also made a video showing how it works:
