Batches
Many files, shared settings or one look per file, one ZIP.
Every file you open goes into the Files tab. By default they all share one set of settings: tune the look on one, check the others, then export them all at once.
- Click a file to show it, or press Alt ↓ / Alt ↑.
- Reorder with Move up / Move down in a file's ⋯ menu, or Alt Shift ↑ / ↓. The order is used for animations and sprite sheets.
- Remove one with its × button (or Delete when it has focus). Clear removes them all.
- Export → All files as ZIP processes every file and downloads a ZIP of PNGs named after the originals, plus the
settings.jsonthat made them.
A file with its own settings#
Any file can have its own settings instead of the shared ones. With two or more files open, the inspector shows Settings apply to: All files / This file above the tabs.
- This file gives the current file a copy of its current settings. From then on, edits change only that file. Its row in the Files tab shows an Own badge.
- All files links it back to the shared settings and drops its own (a toast lets you undo).
- Each file with its own settings keeps its own undo history, so undo never reaches across files.
The ⋯ button on a file row, or a right-click, has the rest:
| Action | Does |
|---|---|
| Give it its own settings / Use shared settings | The same switch as in the inspector |
| Copy settings | Remembers this file's settings |
| Paste settings | Gives this file its own settings, set to the copied ones |
| Apply these settings to all files | Makes these the shared settings and links every file to them |
| Duplicate | Adds a second copy of the file, with its own settings: handy for comparing two looks side by side |
Exports follow each file's own settings. The ZIP also includes a <name>.settings.json for every file that has its own.
The ZIP uses the scale, grid and indexed-PNG options from the Export tab.
Several images can also become one animation (GIF, video or sprite sheet): set Frames from to All files, in order in the Animation section. Each frame uses its file's own look, at the size of the first frame.
Note
Files stay in memory, not on a server. Very large batches are limited by your browser's memory; a few hundred typical photos are fine.
