Exporting slices

The plugin UI can export selected layers as PNG slices (and ZIP), separate from MCP save_screenshots.

When to use which

PathScaleCompressionBest for
Plugin Export tabPreview , download Browser download / ZIPDesigners exporting by hand
MCP save_screenshotsDefault 2, use scale=3 for parityTinyPNG-style on by default for PNGAgents / automation

Plugin workflow

  1. Select one or more exportable nodes (max 50)
  2. Open the Export tab — 1× previews generate automatically
  3. Click a thumbnail to preview larger
  4. Download one PNG or download all as a ZIP (JSZip in the UI)

Export slices: 1× preview, ZIP pack, single download

Naming is sanitized for the filesystem. Non-exportable node types are skipped with a clear message.

MCP parity

{
  "nodeIds": ["2009:2"],
  "scale": 3,
  "format": "PNG",
  "compress": true,
  "path": "./screenshots"
}

See tools.md for full save_screenshots options (clip, SVG/JPG/PDF, etc.).
