How Do I Import Excel Data Into Photoshop?

Last updated on May 11, 2023 @ 9:09 am

There are a few different ways that you can import your Excel data into Photoshop, and the method you choose will depend on what you want to do with the data once it’s in Photoshop. If you just want to view the data, then the easiest way is to open the Excel file in Photoshop.

If you want to edit the data, then you’ll need to use the “File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack” command. And if you want to create a graph or chart from the data, then you can use the “File > Scripts > Data Sets” command.

Method 1: Open the Excel file in Photoshop

If all you want to do is view your Excel data in Photoshop, then you can simply open the file. However, you first need to convert your Excel file into an SVG file. Once done just use the Open command to open it in Photoshop. To do this, go to “File > Open” and select your Excel file.

Photoshop will automatically convert the file into an image that you can view and scroll through.

Method 2: Use the “Load Files into Stack” command

If you want to be able to edit your Excel data in Photoshop, then you’ll need to use the “Load Files into Stack” command. This command will take your Excel data and convert it into a series of layers that you can edit individually. To use this command, go to “File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack.” Select your Excel file and click “Open.”

Method 3: Use the “Data Sets” command

If you want to create a graph or chart from your Excel data, then you can use the “Data Sets” command. This command will take your data and create a new document in Photoshop with a graph or chart based on that data. To use this command, go to “File > Import > Variable Data Sets.”

The best way to import your Excel data into Photoshop will depend on what you want to do with that data once it’s inside Photoshop. If you just need to view it, then opening the file will work fine.

If you need to edit it, then using the “Load Files into Stack” command is probably your best bet. And if you want to create a graph or chart, then using the “Data Sets” command is probably what you’re looking for.

PRO TIP: When importing Excel data into Photoshop, it is important to make sure that the data is in the correct format. Otherwise, it may not be imported correctly and could cause problems with the image.
