Phone Case Mockup Card Generator: Batch Processing and PDF Export via Photoshop JSX

Introduction & Engineering Challenge

In accessories manufacturing and printing production, preparing print-ready layouts and e-commerce product cards is often a massive bottleneck. When a design catalog contains hundreds of artwork prints across dozens of smartphone form-factors, manual PSD editing is both slow and prone to human errors.

Project Goal: Build an automated headless pipeline using ExtendScript (Photoshop JSX) capable of ingesting raw artwork (.jpg, .png), placing it into Smart Objects inside master PSD templates, auto-centering, resizing, and exporting both web JPEG previews and standardized print-ready PDF files.

Pipeline Architecture

Environment Initialization: Suppress Photoshop modal dialogs (DialogModes.NO).

Artwork Directory Ingestion: Validate and sort input graphics files.

Smart Object Editing: Execute placedLayerEditContents headlessly.

Geometric Alignment: Auto-center graphic layers using precise pixel bounds and UnitValue calculation.

Smart Object Synchronization: Commit changes via updatePlacedLayer and close the child PSB.

Batch Multi-Format Export: Save both print-ready PDF and screen JPEG previews.

Performance Metrics

Rendering Speed: Single product SKU rendered in ~1.2–1.8 seconds.

500 SKUs Batch: Completed in 12–15 minutes completely hands-free.

Zero Artifacts: Misalignments, incorrect aspect ratios, and missing files are fully eliminated.
