Upgrade your CEP Extensions to the fast, modern UXP.
CEP (Common Extensibility Platform) has served us well, but UXP is the future. We help you migrate your CEP HTML/JS extensions to UXP, eliminating CEF overhead, dramatically improving performance, and securing your plugin's future in Photoshop.
Experts in Adobe's extensibility transition.
Leave CEF overhead and ExtendScript behind. We build blazing-fast UXP plugins.
Goodbye ExtendScript
CEP relies on a messy bridge between modern JS and ancient ExtendScript. We rewrite your logic entirely in the unified, modern UXP DOM, eliminating evalScript bottlenecks.
Spectrum UI Upgrades
We migrate your legacy HTML/Bootstrap panels to Adobe's native Spectrum Web Components, ensuring your plugin looks like a seamless part of Photoshop.
Network & File I/O Migration
UXP handles networking (fetch) and file systems differently than CEP's embedded Node.js. We expertly re-architect these critical data pathways for UXP compliance.
Cloud Integrations
Migrate DAM connectors and cloud asset panels from CEP's Node.js to UXP's native fetch API.
Batch Processing
Port complex image processing scripts to run significantly faster on the UXP DOM.
Workflow Tools
Upgrade layer-management and proofing extensions for better performance on large PSDs.
Custom Tooling
Convert internal agency CEP panels into lightning-fast UXP plugins for your design team.
Five stages, paired end-to-end.
Predictable delivery. No black-box sprints.
Analyze
We assess your CEP plugin, identifying Node.js dependencies and complex ExtendScript calls that need UXP equivalents.
Re-Architect
We design the new architecture, replacing the CEP/ExtendScript bridge with direct UXP DOM and Batchplay interactions.
Develop
We build the new UI in React with Spectrum components and rewrite the business logic in modern JavaScript.
Test
Comprehensive testing to ensure your new UXP plugin is faster, leaner, and functionally identical.
Launch
We package your new UXP plugin into a .ccx file and assist with Adobe Exchange distribution.
Six places it pays back in the first sprint.
Real outcomes our clients report within the first engagement cycle.
Faster time-to-market
Production-ready teams that ship from week one — no ramp-up lag.
Reduced technical risk
Architecture reviews, code audits, and security scans baked into every sprint.
Measurable velocity
Cycle time, PR throughput, and defect density tracked from day one.
Cost predictability
Fixed-price or capped T&M — no surprise invoices, ever.
Continuous improvement
Retros, post-mortems, and process refinement every sprint.
Knowledge transfer
Your team grows. Documentation, pair programming, and workshops included.
Tools our port photoshop cep plugins to uxp developers ship with.
We use what works. No vendor lock-in.
Three ways to work with our Port Photoshop CEP Plugins to UXP team.
Scale up, scale down — zero procurement headaches.
Fixed-scope project
Start-to-finish delivery with total cost, timeline, and scope agreed upfront. Best for well-defined builds and launches.
Dedicated team
A ring-fenced squad — PM, tech lead, engineers, QA — fully managed by us, embedded in your workflow.
Staff augmentation
Plug senior engineers into your existing team and tools. You manage priorities, we deliver results.
Asked first, every time.
Adobe has clearly stated that UXP is the future of extensibility. While CEP still works, new features are being developed for UXP, and CEP will eventually be deprecated. Migrating now is the smart move.
Yes. CEP runs a full Chromium browser (CEF) inside Photoshop, which consumes significant memory and CPU. UXP is a lightweight, native rendering engine, resulting in much faster load times and snappier performance.
UXP uses a modern, unified JavaScript DOM. In most cases, we completely rewrite your legacy ExtendScript logic into modern UXP JavaScript (and Batchplay), eliminating the slow and clunky bridge between the panel and the host app.
Often, yes! If your CEP panel was already built with React, we can reuse a lot of the UI logic. We will likely swap out your UI library for Adobe Spectrum components to ensure a native look and feel.
No, UXP does not embed Node.js for security and performance reasons. However, UXP provides native APIs for networking (fetch) and file I/O that cover 95% of use cases. We help re-architect the remaining 5%.
Yes, but it uses a new asynchronous system called Batchplay. We will convert your old Action Manager or ScriptListener code into clean Batchplay JSON objects.
Typically 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of your ExtendScript and the extent of Node.js dependencies.
Yes. We package the final plugin into a .ccx file and can manage or assist with the entire Adobe Exchange approval process.
