How to export your processed image in different formats, qualities, and resolutions.

Prerequisites

  • An image is loaded in the playground
  • A preset is applied with desired settings
  • You are signed in (required for export)

Open the export dialog

Click the Export button in the editor toolbar. The dialog shows three configuration options.

Format

FormatTypeBest for
PNGLosslessGraphics, text art, images with transparency. Largest file size.
JPEGLossy (adjustable quality)Photos where file size matters more than pixel-perfect fidelity.
WebPLossy (adjustable quality)Modern web use. Smaller files than JPEG at equivalent quality.

Quality

Adjustable from 50–100%. Applies to JPEG and WebP only. PNG is always lossless regardless of this setting.

Resolution

How export works

  1. The editor crops your source image using the current CropConfig.
  2. The preset pipeline runs at full resolution (not preview resolution).
  3. The result PixelBuffer is transferred from the Web Worker via zero-copy ArrayBuffer transfer.
  4. The buffer is drawn onto an offscreen canvas.
  5. canvas.toBlob(callback, mimeType, quality) produces the output blob.
  6. The resulting blob is downloaded as a file.

The export pipeline is handled entirely in the web app layer — no @effectsoup/core function is involved.
