You can export an image in Photopea primarily through the File menu, using options like Export As or accessing the Save for Web window.
Photopea offers flexible ways to save your artwork in various image formats suitable for different purposes, whether for the web, printing, or sharing.
Exporting Images Using File Menu Options
The main methods for exporting your work from Photopea involve the File dropdown menu.
File - Export As
The File - Export As option provides a direct way to save your image in several common formats. This is a versatile tool for preparing your image for different uses.
Steps to export using File - Export As:
- Go to File in the top menu bar.
- Hover over Export As.
- Select your desired format from the list (e.g., JPG, PNG, SVG, GIF, WebP, PDF, ICO, BMP, TIFF, DDS).
- A settings window will appear where you can adjust parameters specific to the chosen format, such as quality for JPG or transparency for PNG.
- You can also use this window to adjust the image's dimensions or enter a new size, as highlighted in the reference: "You can also use Photopea to resize images (File - Open, File - Export As - JPG, enter the new size and Save)."
- Click the Save or Export button to download the file to your computer.
File - Save for Web
The reference mentions the Save for Web window, noting it lets you choose the output format and resolution. While the direct menu path isn't explicitly stated in the reference, this window is historically accessed via a similar export-style menu option in image editors and provides advanced options for web optimization.
In Photopea, accessing export options often leads to windows with similar features:
- Output Format: Choose from formats optimized for the web like JPG, PNG, or GIF.
- Resolution/Size: Adjust the dimensions of the output image.
- Quality Settings: Control compression levels to balance file size and image quality.
This method is ideal when you need fine control over file size and format for web usage.
