Export

General settings

The following general settings can be adjusted from the Export dialog:

• Format—select the format for your exported file.
  Export formats include PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PSD, PDF, SVG and EPS.
• Preset—sets predefined export options for the selected file format. Select from the pop-up menu.
  As well as the default application presets, this pop-up menu will give you the option of selecting a custom preset.
• More—accesses advanced settings for the chosen file format. For more information on these settings, see the Export Options panel topic.
• Area—instead of exporting the whole page, you can export the currently selected layer content, with or without its background using the 'Selection with background' or 'Selection without background' options.
  To export drawn slices or specific layers, use Export Persona.
• Don't export layers hidden by Export Persona—when selected, layers which have been hidden while in Export Persona are excluded from the exported file even if they display on the page. If this option is off, all objects on the page (which are within the Area selected above) will be exported regardless of whether they are hidden in Export Persona.

Additional settings

For PNG, JPEG, GIF and TIFF file formats:

• Size—by default, displays the native dimensions of your image. Type value(s) to set an alternative width and/or height for your exported image.
• Lock aspect ratio—when selected (default), the image's native aspect ratio is honored. If this option is off, exported image width and height can be set independently.

For PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF and PSD file formats:

• Resample—select which resampling method (see note below) to use if the image is to be upsampled or downsampled on export.

For JPEG file formats:

• Quality—sets the resulting quality of the exported image. Higher quality may result in significantly larger file sizes.

For SVG file formats:

• Export text as curves for font independence— when selected, the text in the resulting file will be drawn as curves (therefore displaying precisely as intended, even if viewed on a device without the used fonts installed). If this option is off (default), text will be exported as text and the viewing device will need the used fonts installed for it to be viewed correctly.

For PDF, SVG and EPS file formats:

• Raster DPI—this option lets you choose the resolution for rasterization for effects which will be rasterized on export.

For EPS file formats:

• Postscript level—sets the version of the exported postscript file. Select from the pop-up menu.

For TIFF file formats:

• Save Affinity Layers—Layers in the document are preserved in the exported TIFF image.

For PDF file formats:

• Preview export when complete—when selected, the exported PDF will be automatically launched in your currently assigned PDF viewer.
