Zuuvi’s PSD Import is a new feature that lets you import your designs directly from Photoshop into Studio. It’s still in beta, so not everything will be perfect – but it’s already super handy if you're looking to bring in your designs as a starting point.
Here’s what’s supported (and what’s not) so you can set your expectations and make the most out of it 👇
❗ Disclaimer: This feature is in BETA
This feature has not been fully tested, and bugs or glitches may occur.
You might experience incomplete or incorrect rendering of some design elements.
We're actively improving it, so the behaviour and limitations may change in future updates.
How to import from PSD to Zuuvi
How to import from PSD to Zuuvi
Save your PSD file so it's ready for upload.
Go to Zuuvi Studio and click on the plus symbol for new template.
You will then get the option to import your PSD file.
Chose the file and a new template will be made with the formats from your art board, and you're ready to build from there and add animations and effect.

Text Elements
Mixed styles in one text layer aren’t supported:
Fonts, sizes, and colours must be consistent per layer
If you use mixed styles, we’ll just keep the first one
Images & Masks
Masked images will be shown uncropped (the entire image is displayed)
Shape layers will be imported as images, meaning you can’t edit shapes in Zuuvi
Fonts
Only Google Fonts are supported
System or custom fonts will be replaced with Arial
✅ What Works Well
✅ What Works Well
Artboards = Formats
Artboards become individual formats in Zuuvi
Only visible artboards will be imported
Layers outside of artboards won’t be included
If your PSD has no artboards, the entire canvas becomes one format
This is an example of how the content should be structured.
Layers
Text layers → stay editable
Groups → preserved (unless nested)
Everything else → imported as images
🧠 Consider Before Importing
🧠 Consider Before Importing
Use Only Photoshop PSDs
PSD files must be saved in Adobe Photoshop.
Files created in other tools (like Photopea) may fail to import.
Rasterise Non-Text Layers
We strongly recommend rasterising all non-text layers before import.
This improves accuracy, fixes some shadow issues, and reduces file size.
⚙️ Use 72 px/inch Resolution
Other resolutions aren’t supported.
🔍 Effects, Shadows & Borders
🔍 Effects, Shadows & Borders
Shadows
Only one box shadow is applied
Text shadows apply to the text container, not individual letters
If your shadow looks odd, try rasterising the layer
Rasterised vs. Non-rasterised
Borders
Borders as effects work (and can be updated in Zuuvi)
Borders from shape appearance get merged into the image permanently
No support for opacity or border position – always outer & solid
📦 Grouping, Nesting & Rotation
📦 Grouping, Nesting & Rotation
Nested groups will be flattened – only the top-level group remains
Hidden nested groups will be ignored
Rotating groups is not supported – rotate individual elements instead
🖼️ Reference Images
🖼️ Reference Images
One reference image per format
Appears behind all other elements
Effects are not displayed
If a layer has different content but the same name across artboards – only one stays
⭕ Rounded Layers
⭕ Rounded Layers
Rounded shapes become images in Zuuvi.
That means shadows will appear as rectangles even if the shape looks oval.
Text layers
Text layers
Keep text boxes only as big as necessary.
Improperly sized boxes may result in incorrect text placement.
That’s it for now – but stay tuned as this feature improves! 😊
Let us know if something looks off, or if you have a PSD you want us to test with.
