# Image Export

Export options for 2D images.

## Short Summary

This page describes how to export processed images with various format options.

## Export Formats

### PNG

- Lossless compression.
- Supports transparency.
- Recommended for highest quality and archival.
- Larger file sizes than JPEG or WebP.

### JPEG

- Lossy compression.
- Does not support transparency.
- Smaller file sizes than PNG.
- Best for sharing and web use when transparency is not needed.

### WebP

- Modern format with efficient compression.
- Supports both lossy and lossless modes.
- Good balance between quality and file size.
- Wide browser support.

## Export Workflow

1. Process your image with desired algorithms and settings.
2. Click the Export button in the top bar.
3. The Image Export Settings panel opens:
   - Filename: Enter a custom filename or leave blank for auto-generated name.
   - Output Format: Choose PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
   - Output Path: Select destination folder.
4. Click Export to save the image.

## Export Settings

- The exported image uses the current workspace dimensions (Width x Height settings).
- All applied effects and adjustments are baked into the exported image.
- The Compare mode setting does not affect export; only the processed version is exported.

## Tips

- For pixel-perfect exports, ensure workspace dimensions match your target resolution before exporting.
- PNG format is recommended when you need to preserve exact colors and transparency.
- Use JPEG for final output when file size matters and transparency is not needed.
