Record Your MasterpiecePhotoshop Timelapse Plugin
PSFlow is the ultimate Photoshop Timelapse Plugin designed for digital artists. Automatically record your entire creative process, speedpaints, and sketches in Photoshop without recording the whole screen.
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.
How it works
Simple and Powerful
Three steps to create your speedpaint video.
Start Recording
Open the PSFlow panel in Photoshop and click the record button. It runs silently in the background while you focus on your art.
Create Your Art
Paint, sketch, and design as usual. PSFlow captures every stroke intelligently, pausing automatically when you are idle.
Export Video
Done? Click stop and choose your export settings. Get a high-quality MP4 file instantly, ready to share on social media.

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.
- 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 $15.90 for a lifetime license, including free updates and activation on up to 3 devices.
