How to install the Visnea plugin for Photoshop

Step-by-step installation of the Visnea plugin for Adobe Photoshop on Windows and macOS — via Creative Cloud and manually, plus sign-in and troubleshooting.

The Visnea plugin brings image generation and editing right into Adobe Photoshop: you work on the active document, selection or layer without leaving the canvas. Here is the full installation for Windows and macOS.

What you need

  • Adobe Photoshop 2022 or newer (with UXP plugin support).
  • The Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app installed.
  • A Visnea account with plugin access unlocked. Access opens once your total top-ups reach the threshold shown in your cabinet — after that the plugin is free forever.

Step 1. Download the plugin

  1. Sign in to your cabinet.
  2. Open the Plugins tab.
  3. Click Download for Photoshop (.ccx) — this saves a visnea-photoshop.ccx file.

Step 2. Install via Creative Cloud (recommended)

This is the simplest way and works identically on Windows and macOS.

  1. Close Photoshop.
  2. Double-click the downloaded visnea-photoshop.ccx file.
  3. Adobe Creative Cloud opens and offers to install the plugin — confirm.
  4. Launch Photoshop. Open the Plugins menu — Visnea will be there.

Step 3. Manual install (if double-click did not work)

Windows

  1. Rename visnea-photoshop.ccx to visnea-photoshop.zip and extract it.
  2. Copy the plugin folder into: C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\UXP\Plugins\External\
  3. Restart Photoshop.

macOS

  1. Rename the .ccx to .zip and extract it.
  2. Copy the plugin folder into: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/Plugins/External/
  3. Restart Photoshop.

Step 4. Sign in

  1. In Photoshop open Plugins → Visnea.
  2. Paste the API key from your cabinet (Account → API).
  3. Done — the balance and models are the same as on the website.

Troubleshooting

  • The plugin is not in the menu. Fully quit and reopen Photoshop; make sure it is version 2022+.
  • Creative Cloud did not open the file. Install/update the Creative Cloud desktop app and try the double-click again, or use the manual install.
  • "Device limit reached". The license is bound to devices — remove an old one under Plugins → Devices.
  • Sign-in fails. Make sure the API key was copied in full and has not expired; create a new one in your cabinet if needed.

Once the plugin is installed, head to how to use the plugin.
