PNG vs JPG
| PNG | JPG |
|---|---|
| Supports transparency | No transparency (white background) |
| Lossless compression | Lossy compression |
| Larger file size | Smaller file size |
| Best for graphics, icons, UI | Best for photos |
| Sharp edges preserved | May show compression artifacts |
PNG: Icons, logos, UI elements, anything with transparency or sharp
edges.
JPG: Photos, complex images with many colors, when file size matters.
Export Scale
Export at different scales for different use cases:
- 1x - Standard resolution (1 design pixel = 1 exported pixel)
- 2x - Retina/HiDPI displays (doubles dimensions)
- 3x - High-density mobile displays
- 4x - Extra high resolution
- Custom - Enter any scale factor or specific dimensions
Multi-Scale Export
Export multiple scales at once:
- In the export panel, click "Add export"
- Add 1x, 2x, 3x variants
- Each exports with a suffix (e.g., icon.png, icon@2x.png, icon@3x.png)
PNG Options
Transparency
- Include background - Adds canvas background to export
- Transparent background - Preserves alpha channel
Interlacing
Interlaced PNGs load progressively in browsers (blurry → sharp). Slightly larger file size but better perceived loading speed.
JPG Options
Quality
Quality setting affects file size and image fidelity:
- 100% - Highest quality, largest file
- 80-90% - Good balance (recommended)
- 60-70% - Smaller files, visible artifacts
- Below 60% - Significant quality loss
Background Color
JPG doesn't support transparency. Choose a background color for transparent areas:
- White (default)
- Black
- Custom color
For web use, 80% JPG quality is usually indistinguishable from 100% but can be 50-70% smaller in file size. Start at 80% and only increase if you notice quality issues.
Export Selection vs Frame
Exporting Selection
When you select specific elements:
- Only selected elements are exported
- Export bounds match the selection bounding box
- Transparent areas outside elements (PNG only)
Exporting Frame
When you export a frame:
- Frame bounds define the export area
- Content outside frame bounds is clipped
- Frame fill becomes background
Batch Export
Export multiple elements at once:
- Select multiple frames or elements
- Open export dialog
- Each selection exports as a separate file
- Files are named based on layer names
Export Settings in Properties
Configure export settings directly on frames:
- Select a frame
- In Properties Panel, find Export section
- Add export settings (format, scale)
- These settings are saved with the frame
- Use File → Export All to export all configured frames
