A fuller-featured version of Photoshop’s “Export > Layers to Files…” plugin.

“Export Layers Advanced” demo

Background

I often needed to export Photoshop layers as compressed web JPEGs, but Photoshop has no ability to do this in a single step. So I created this script to export most of Photoshop’s available formats.

Features

  • Batch export layers to files in most file formats
  • All parameters for any file format are adjustable in the UI
  • Batch trim transparent pixels
  • Add prefix name and/or layer numbers to the file names
  • Set a render destination in the UI.
  • UI design, coding: Ryan Gilmore
