As we all know that.

Adobe removed the awesome feature name Device Preview in CC2018.

This plugin makes you preview your design on your phone with photoshop, It’s truly a useful tool for UI designers.

But as Adobe want to push these UI designers to there new XD product...so they just remove that plugin, and no more support for the app.

Actually.

When the Device Preview first came up with CC2015, I was interested in this plugin and have made some improvement for it.

After some bug fixed and improvement, I found that Device Preview only support IOS and have no Android support.

Then, I decided to create my own! and make some simple targets:

  1. ios/android devices support
  2. wifi/usb connection support
  3. artboards support
  4. connection stablility
  5. refresh speed

After half year development, there comes PsMirror, the name was inspired by Sketch Mirror...

This tool contains a Plugin installed in photoshop, and a ios/android App to preview the design.

It auto detect your network, and auto discover your photoshop. no need to do anything.

It supports many devices to connect with wifi network.

And support USB cable connection when the network is down.

And some useful features are provided in the app to help you

I made a website to introduce/provide this product to all of UI/UX designers
