Export Layers in Figpea: A Complete Guide

Figpea offers powerful layer export capabilities that let you extract assets in multiple formats with custom configurations. Whether you're preparing assets for web, mobile, or print, Figpea's export features provide the flexibility you need.

Export Formats

Figpea supports multiple export formats to suit different use cases:

• PNG: Perfect for images requiring transparency and lossless quality
• JPEG: Ideal for photographs and images without transparency
• WebP: Modern format offering superior compression while maintaining quality
• SVG: Vector format great for icons and scalable graphics — free at 1x, like PNG/JPEG/WebP

Each format comes with built-in optimization to ensure the best balance of quality and file size:

• PNGs are optimized using advanced compression
• JPEGs use mozjpeg optimization for better quality/size ratio
• SVGs are clean, scalable vector exports generated locally in your browser with layer structure and styling preserved
• WebP offers excellent compression while maintaining visual quality

Scale Options

You can export layers at various scales to support different display densities:

• Preset scales: 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x
• Custom scale: Enter any custom scale value
• High-quality scaling: Proper antialiasing ensures crisp results at any scale

A single 1x export is free on every plan — PNG, JPEG, WebP, or SVG alike. Exporting at any scale (2x, 3x, or custom) and batch-exporting several layers at once are Pro features — see Plans for the current split.

Export Configuration

Custom Suffixes

Add custom suffixes to your exported files to indicate their purpose or scale. For example:

• @2x for retina displays
• -small for thumbnails
• -dark for dark mode variants

Multiple Variants

Need the same layer in different formats or scales? Figpea lets you set up multiple export configurations at once:

1. Click the '+' button to add a new export configuration
2. Set the desired scale, suffix, and format for each variant
3. Export all variants at once - they'll be automatically packaged into a ZIP file

File Naming

Exported files follow a clear naming convention:

[layer-name][suffix].[format]

Layer names are automatically truncated to 20 characters to ensure compatible file names.

Pro Features

While Figpea offers generous free export capabilities, upgrading to Pro unlocks additional features:

• Unlimited Custom Scales: Export at any scale beyond 1x without limitations
• Batch Export: Export multiple layers with different configurations efficiently

SVG export itself is free at 1x — see the format list above.

Best Practices

1. Choose the Right Format:

   • Use PNG for graphics with transparency
   • Use JPEG for photographs
   • Use WebP for web assets where supported
   • Use SVG for icons and simple graphics that need to scale

2. Scale Considerations:

   • Use 1x for standard displays
   • Use 2x for retina displays
   • Use 0.5x for thumbnails
   • Use custom scales for specific requirements

3. Organized Exports:

   • Use meaningful suffixes to identify variants
   • Group related exports together
   • Use consistent naming conventions

Conclusion

Figpea's export capabilities provide a robust solution for extracting layers in various formats and scales. With built-in optimization and support for multiple configurations, you can efficiently prepare assets for any project while maintaining quality and organization.
