# How to properly import a PSD file into Brandeploy?

To ensure a clean and smooth import, follow these steps:

Pour garantir un import propre et efficace dans Brandeploy, voici les étapes à suivre :

1. **Prepare your file **

Before importing, make sure your PSD is optimized. Brandeploy helps industrialize content variations, so the fewer the layers, the better.

**Best practices:**

* **Minimize the number of layers**: for example, merge multiple background layers into a single image.

*** Clean your PSD**: remove any hidden or unused layers.

* You can use Photoshop or Photopea (a free and easy online photo editor) to do this.

2. **Import the file ** ****

Go to the "Creation" tab, then select "Import .psd file". Choose your file to start the import process.

🛠️ **What to do if the PSD import stops or shows missing fonts?**
If the import process stops, you may need to click the "Retry" button to continue.
If the platform detects missing fonts after import, a message will appear indicating which fonts are missing (e.g. "1 or 2 fonts missing" as shown in the screenshot below).

Here’s how to resolve it:
* Click on the first missing font listed.
* The platform will open the font library from your setup.
* Select the replacement font you want to use for the missing one.
* Click "OK" to confirm.
* Repeat this process for each missing font.
Once all missing fonts are replaced, the platform will complete the file integration.  

✅ Tip: If the fonts you're selecting are frequently used, you can choose the "Set as default" option during selection. This will automatically apply the font in future imports.

3. **What import cases are supported?**

✅ A single creation in one format
    
✅  Multiple creations in the same size (e.g., carousel)
    
* ⚠️⚠️ Multiple creations in multiple sizes: this creates multi-masters, where each size is independent. To avoid this, refer to the article

|| ⚠️ Important limitations of PSD import:
|| Smart Objects are converted into flat images.
|| Motion and GIFs are not imported and must be recreated manually.
|| Only the "Blur" layer filter is supported. Other filters need to be added after the import.
|| When a text block overlaps a background image block, the text may shift. Recommended fix: remove the background image and recreate it within the text block as a single layer.
|| SVG and JPEG masks are supported.
|| Clipping masks work unless they’re made from text.Les Smart Objects sont convertis en images simples.
