Export presets

Export presets let you save a combination of export settings and quickly apply them to any image or slice. They also appear in the Share menu as quick export options, so you can export your entire image optimized with your most-used settings at any time.

Apply an export preset to an image

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Choose File > Export for Web from the File menu at the top of your screen.

    • Press the K key on your keyboard.

Apply an export preset to a slice

Redefine an export preset

If you’d like to overwrite or update an existing preset with new settings, you can redefine it.

  2. Open the preset submenu and choose Redefine.

Customize quick export presets

  1. Do any of the following:

    • Rename an export preset: Open the preset submenu and choose Rename. This can help better organize the presets or find them more easily.

    • Remove an export preset: Open the preset submenu and choose Remove if you will not be using this preset anymore.
