Adobe Photoshop UXP Scripting is one of 16 APIs that [Adobe Photoshop](https://apis.io/providers/adobe-photoshop/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Automation, JavaScript, Modern JS, and Scripting. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

A modern scripting system for Photoshop that allows developers to execute standalone JavaScript files with the .psjs extension to automate tasks. Unlike full UXP plugins, scripts are single files that run once and complete, similar to the legacy ExtendScript workflow but using modern JavaScript powered by the V8 engine.
