How it works
Send Photoshop Files Online — step by step
01
Save a delivery copy
Use a clear versioned filename. Keep the original working file so you can return to it if further changes are required.
02
Review dependencies
Check externally linked content and note any font requirements. Share supporting resources only when you have permission to distribute them.
03
Test and upload
Open the delivery copy and compare it with the intended appearance. Upload the source, supporting files, and preview to FileFlap.
04
Send editing instructions
Share the link and state which file is editable. Explain the requested task and any known compatibility requirements.
Before you start
What to know before you transfer
A Photoshop source file can contain layers and dependencies that a flat preview does not reveal. For editing, send the saved source file with the assets required by your workflow. For review, a clearly labeled JPEG or PDF preview can help recipients understand the design without opening the source document.
Checklist
Prepare your files
| Item | What to send | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Source document | The intended PSD or PSB version | Keep the editable structure needed by the recipient. |
| Linked assets | External files used by the document | Check that links resolve in the delivered package. |
| Preview | A reference image or PDF | Label it separately from the editable source. |
| Notes | Fonts, software expectations, and requested changes | Identify anything the recipient must obtain separately. |
Common mistake
Sending only a flattened preview for an editing task
A preview does not substitute for the original layer structure. If the recipient needs to edit the design, include the appropriate source document and its dependencies.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should I flatten the Photoshop file before sending it?
Not if the recipient needs the editable layers. Send a separate flattened preview for review and keep the source document as agreed.
Can someone view the design without Photoshop?
Provide an exported preview in a format they can open. Viewing that preview is different from opening and editing the PSD or PSB source.
