Social Media New Doc Sizes in Photoshop

Why don't you bring the Ai (Adobe Illustrator) new doc social media template sizes into Photoshop?

 

Is there a way to bring this file into Photoshop's settings folder (in AppData): "C:\Users\X\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 29 Settings\en_US\x64\New Document

Profiles\Social.ai"

Illy uses an Ai file as a template (for new doc sizes), but Ps uses a single "New Doc Sizes.json" file for it.

 

 

Correct answer Stephen Marsh

You're correct. My first screenshot of Illustrator's "social" sizes did not capture the entire list. However, my latest screenshot has now included the complete list of sizes (scroll screenshot).


@TenTin I have repeated the process for you and updated my previous post. Enjoy!

This is the sort of tedius, repetitive stuff that AI is well suited for.

 

I provided a single JSON example.

 

I uploaded your screenshot, with the unnecessary stuff cropped off.

 

I prompted to use the JSON example for structure populating new entries based on the screenshot.

 

The entire process probably took less than 5 minutes.

 

Here is the result ready to paste into your New Doc Sizes.json file. EDIT: Now updated to contain all 21 presets:

I haven't double checked the OCR conversion, so double check the sizes and spelling.

    First! Many thanks for your time.
    The result is this: just 16 of 21 preset sizes have been made.

    Ps presets

    Ai presets

     

    A couple of weeks ago, I tried to optimise a script for my Cloudflare "pages" with the help of the AI (ChatGPT and Grok). But it went for an infinite repetitive Q&A!! Finally, I gave up. Maybe I'm a bit old for using AI stuff. Personally, I hate AI.

     

    If you have any interest in investigating more, this is the original "Social.ai" file, which I converted to a text file (extracting the original "Social.ai" with 7z, then open it with ms notepad and save as text).

    "Social.zip (Dropbox)"

    Wow, this selection of PS templates look incredibly helpful. I've downloaded but can't seem to find where I need to copy and paste the information. 

    I'm using a Mac, running on Sonoma 14.6.1

    When I try Users/Username there is no Library folder
    And when I try - Library/Prefrences there is no Adobe Photoshop folder

    How do I find where I need to copy and paste the script from the file you've made downloadable. Any directon would be incredinly appreciated. 


    Actually i found the location hidden away. But since opening the JSON file, and saving the suggested script, it doesn't show on the Saved settings. I've tried restarting Photoshop, and also my macbook laptop, but no luck. Again any insigts would be amazing.

    Not directly, as you mention - that's an .ai file, while Photoshop uses entries in a JSON formatted text file. You would need to edit the JSON file. Some links to previous discussions:

    I am aware of how to remove the most recently used (MRU) and add custom sizes manually in the Ps JSON file. I want to find a solution to import/convert all those sizes (Ai template file) into Ps at once. It seems it's impossible!

    It would seem so, as the two apps use totally different approaches.
