Features

Why PSFlow?

Because recording speedpaintings in Photoshop is a pain.

Canvas-Only Recording

Captures only your artwork, ignoring Photoshop UI panels, zooming, and panning. Your viewers see just the art, not the mess.

No Extra Software

Forget about OBS or QuickTime. PSFlow runs entirely inside Photoshop as a native plugin. No setup required.

Instant Video Generation

Export your timelapse instantly to MP4. No complex video editing software needed. Share your work in seconds.

The difference

Stop fighting your screen recorder

Screen recorders were built for gameplay and meetings. PSFlow was built for painting.

Screen recorder (OBS, QuickTime)

  • Remember to hit record every session
  • Captures panels, menus, zooming and notifications
  • Hours of raw footage to trim and speed up

With PSFlow

  • Records from inside Photoshop and pauses when you're idle
  • Canvas only — viewers see the artwork, nothing else
  • Export a finished MP4 timelapse in one click

Frequently Asked Questions

What people ask before installing a Photoshop timelapse plugin.

Does Photoshop have built-in timelapse recording?

No. Photoshop has no native timelapse or speedpaint recorder — the closest thing is the History panel, which does not export video. PSFlow adds the missing piece: it hooks into Photoshop and writes every canvas change to a video file.Does Photoshop Have Timelapse or Speedpaint Recording? →

Do I need OBS or another screen recorder?

No. PSFlow runs inside Photoshop and captures the document directly, so you do not need OBS, QuickTime or any external capture software running alongside it.

Does it record my whole screen?

No. PSFlow records the canvas only. Panels, menus, zooming and panning never show up in the exported video, so viewers see the artwork instead of your interface.

Which Photoshop and OS versions are supported?

Photoshop CC2020 and later, on Windows 10 or newer and on macOS with both Intel and Apple Silicon. The Windows installer is code-signed and the macOS package is notarized.

Is PSFlow a subscription?

No. PSFlow is a one-time purchase of $19.90 for a lifetime license, including free updates and activation on up to 3 devices.
