- Go to aescripts.com/learn/zxp-installer
- Click the download button for your operating system (Windows or Mac)

⚠️ Important: Make sure you download the correct version for your operating system. Windows and Mac have separate plugin files.
Close Photoshop
Before installing, make sure Photoshop is completely closed. The installer can't add files while Photoshop is running.
- Save any open work in Photoshop
- Quit Photoshop completely (not just minimise)
- On Mac, make sure it's not still running in the Dock
Install the Plugin
Now use ZXP Installer to install your plugin file.

- Drag and drop your
.zxpfile onto the ZXP Installer window - Wait for the "Installation Complete" message
- Click OK to close
💡 Tip: If drag and drop doesn't work, you can also click "File" → "Open" in ZXP Installer and browse to your .zxp file.
Open Bulk Made in Photoshop
Launch Photoshop and access your new plugin.
- Open Adobe Photoshop
- Go to Window → Extensions → Bulk Made
- The Bulk Made panel will open
- Log in with your Bulk Made account credentials
✓ Success! You should now see the Bulk Made panel. You're ready to start creating mockups!
Troubleshooting
"Extensions" menu is missing or greyed out
This usually means your Photoshop version doesn't support CEP extensions, or they're disabled. Make sure you have Photoshop CC 2019 or later. If you do, try restarting Photoshop.
Bulk Made doesn't appear in the Extensions menu
Make sure Photoshop was fully closed during installation. Try quitting Photoshop completely and reopening it. If it still doesn't appear, reinstall the plugin using ZXP Installer.
Installation failed error
Make sure you're using the correct .zxp file for your operating system (Windows or Mac). Also ensure you have administrator/admin rights on your computer.
