To enable and start recording a Content Credential for your document, go to Window > Content Credentials (Beta). A panel should appear where you can click Enable Content Credentials to display further settings. Alternatively, right-click on any open document tab and select Enable Content Credentials.

What are Content Credentials?
Content Credentials allow creators to attach extra information to their content when they export or download it. By including this information, creators can receive more recognition for their work, connect with others online, and enhance transparency for their audience. To learn more about Content Credentials and why you should consider including them with your work, read the Content Credentials overview.
Enable Content Credentials
-
-
You can also enable Content Credentials by default for all new documents or documents with existing Content Credentials by going to Preferences > History & Content Credentials > Content Credentials Document Settings. We recommend selecting Enable for new and saved documents with Content Credentials to ensure that edits and actions taken to produce your content are captured from start to finish. This way, if you include this info with your Content Credentials, it will be as complete and helpful as possible to people viewing your content.
หมายเหตุ:A Content Credential is included with an image when Content Credentials (Beta) has been enabled on the associated document, and you choose to attach or publish Content Credentials when exporting the image in File > Export > Export As.
Adobe automatically applies Content Credentials to assets generated with Adobe Firefly features, such as Generative Fill in Photoshop. To learn more, check out Content Credentials for assets generated with Adobe Firefly.
Preview your Content Credentials
An individual document’s associated Content Credential can be previewed before export using the Content Credentials icon in the Panels bar or going to Window > Content Credentials (Beta) to display the Content Credentials (Beta) settings panel and select Preview.
Based on your settings, the following info will appear:
- Producer: the name listed on your Adobe account
- Produced with: the application or device used to produce the final image
- Edits and activity: the editing and processing actions taken to produce the final image
- Assets: the other pieces of content used to produce the final image
- Signed by: the organization responsible for issuing the Content Credential and recording the information within in a valid way
Export your work with Content Credentials
Once you are ready to export your work with its associated Content Credential, go to File > Export > Export As to review your export settings. In the Content Credentials (Beta) section, you can choose how to include a Content Credential with your exported image:
- Publish to Content Credentials cloud: This keeps file size smaller and allows your file’s Content Credential to be more resilient. If it is ever stripped from your content, it can be recovered with Verify. In Verify, your published Content Credential may appear as a possible match for content that is visually similar to your own.
- Adobe’s Content Credentials cloud is a public, persistent storage solution for your Content Credentials, separate from the cloud file storage included in your Adobe plan.
- If you find that your content’s Content Credentials are missing after publishing online, the publishing platform likely does not yet support Content Credentials. If you publish your Content Credentials to the Content Credentials cloud, they can be recovered on Verify.
- Attach to file: Directly attach a Content Credential to the exported JPG or PNG file. This increases file size, but can keep your Content Credentials more private. Attached Content Credentials are less resilient, and can be stripped from your content when published or shared online.
- None: Do not include a Content Credential with the exported file.
You can set any of these options as your default Export As setting in Preferences > History & Content Credentials > Content Credentials (Beta): Document Settings.

To know more, visit Photoshop system requirements and known issues.
Content Credentials (Beta) is still in development, so the following features in Photoshop aren’t fully supported yet:
Issue |
Workaround |
---|---|
A Photoshop document’s Content Credential preview, or an exported file’s Content Credential, indicates that some edits or activity may not have been recorded. |
This may occur when:
Once you have enabled Content Credentials for a document, ensure they remain enabled throughout the editing process to capture a complete record of edits and activity used to produce your content. If Content Credentials is enabled for a document, becomes disabled either through your selection, loading after Photoshop, or crashing, and is then re-enabled, an indication of missing edits or activity is likely to appear in the document’s Content Credentials. This cannot be undone.
For non-PSD or PSDC files, converting to a PSD or PSDC file before editing on other devices or apps may help avoid this issue. Making all changes on the same device, with the same user account, is the simplest way to avoid this issue.
3rd party scripts and plugins aren’t supported by Content Credentials at this time, and their use may result in a message about missing edit or activity information in your Content Credentials. |
Unable to export with Content Credentials while offline. |
Exporting with Content Credentials while offline is currently not supported. Make sure you are connected to the internet before trying to export a file with a Content Credential. |
Unable to Export As layers or artboards. |
There is no workaround for this issue as these actions are currently unsupported. |
File exported but its Content Credential couldn’t be published or attached. |
A Content Credential may not be able to be published or attached after exporting a file from Photoshop:
|
Adobe plan limitations on Content Credentials access |
|
Choosing a name to include as Producer when there are two or more collaborators on a file. |
Content Credentials currently only supports listing the name of the one person exporting a file as the Producer.
Make sure the person whose name you want to appear in the Producer section of your Content Credentials exports the file when there are multiple editors and you want to include a Producer name. |
