Why standard email fails for Photoshop PSD & PSB
A standard print poster or web composite at 300 DPI with 20 layers exceeds 200 MB, causing instant rejection by client email servers.
WeTransfer vs LimeShare for Designers: WeTransfer free limits file retention and shows large ads. LimeShare offers clean, ad-free download pages with client-side encryption protecting your design IP.
Best practices for sending Photoshop PSD & PSB
- Do not rasterize or flatten your layers to save space — send the full source PSD using LimeShare's 3 GB limit.
- Add an encrypted note specifying fonts used or art directions.
- Use the 'Sent from this browser' dashboard to see when your client has pulled the design.
Frequently asked questions
Are Photoshop smart objects and linked assets preserved?
Yes. Because LimeShare operates as a pure binary zero-knowledge pipe, your PSD or PSB file remains 100 % intact with all layers, paths, masks, and smart objects.
Can my client download the PSD without an account?
Yes. They just click the link, and the file decrypts directly in their browser.
