Size: Click the Size pop-up menu to choose whether to export the image at its original size, enter a custom size, or specific scaling. Higher levels of compression will make images lighter but can potentially reduce image quality.

Exporting between 75% to 85% quality can greatly reduce the image size without any noticeable drop in quality. Quality: Drag the quality slider or enter the precise quality percentage to change the level of JPEG compression. For more info and step-by-step instructions, see About layers or About shapes and vector. Choose from the available pre-made shapes or draw some of your own. Generally, exporting an image to JPEG above 75% or 80% quality will greatly reduce its size without any visible drop in quality.Ĭolor Profile: JPEG images are typically exported using the original color profile of the file, but you can click the Color Profile pop-up menu to choose a different one for export. Use the vector tools in Pixelmator Pro to add shapes and text to your image, then arrange them into eye-catching logos, icons, layouts, and other designs with the help of the Arrange tool. It uses lossy compression to reduce file sizes and also has a variable quality setting that allows you to reduce the size of an image by potentially reducing its quality. The JPEG file format is a popular format for photographic images on the web. If, instead, you'd like to upscale your image (using Super Resolution) or use a different algorithm for downscaling, you can do so in the Image Size menu before export. Note: When resizing images for export, Pixelmator Pro uses the most universal, Bilinear scaling algorithm. The available options vary based on the file format selected. To choose where to export the image, click the Locations pop-up menu, or the disclosure button next to it, then choose a location (for example, a folder or your desktop).Ĭustomize the export file - choose a file format, color profile, quality, size, etc. In the Export dialog (shown below) enter a name in the Save As field, then enter one or more Choose File > Export (from the File menu at the top of your screen).

You can also export images specially optimized for the web.

However, when you want to use an image or video on the web or share it with someone who uses a different image editor, you should export it to a different file format. In order to preserve all the formatting, layers, and additional image information, Pixelmator Pro uses its own special - PXD - file format. Pixelmator Pro is a nondestructive, layer-based image editor. Export an image or video to a different file format
