Export size options (e.g. export only 2x version)

The ability to select my sizes for export would be nice. At times I work on apps (as strange as it may sound) that do not require all resolutions of artwork (1x, 2x, 3x) An option to select my would be great. Similar to how Sketch handles it.

    I'd like to see more flexibility on this feature. 1x doesn't export crisp enough and 2x is too big and has longer loading time.

    Maybe a type field could fix this, for example, export at 1.25x.

    Is this feature under review from July 2016 to now (May 2018)? please make this feature it's so frustrated to delete all of x1 files

    Any news on this feature? I would love to see a bit more flexibility when exporting assets. I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this problem but when using XD with InVision Sync, there's some issues with exporting 1x and 2x versions of screens at the same time. The sync doesn't quite know which file to use so it can overwrite some screens incorrectly and mess up your hotspots. There are also other instances where it would be handy to only export, say a 2x version of a screen.

    I only want to export @2x's instead of both 1x AND 2x. I end up having a lot more files than I need, and I have to go back and delete all the 1x images.

  • Rob Wootten commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    It strange that I have to export 1x and 2x even when I only want to export 2x. I would really like to see this change.

  • Stevo commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Last time I just wanted 1x to just show the developers the screen flow.

    But because XD doesn't have a more refined way of prototyping like fixed header and footer. I use Marvelapp as a workaround instead.

    But after uploading the 1x (artboard) screens on that platform, the screens are too blurry for user testing.

    So yes, 2x only for artboard export.

    I have edited my screen to show highlight the feature that I want.

    Basically when it comes to design mode, I want to have another option to export not only as 1x, but 2x as well. So when I hit export, I expect the folder will only contain 2x images.

    I know that you can export to as web, but that'll contain both 1x and 2x. I don't want that.

    Especially when I want to export my screens as 2x because the screens looks more crisp and high defintion when imported into the marvelapp and demo in front of user testers.

    I know I can export to web to generate @1x and @2x assets, but I always find myself in finder deleting all the @1x assets because I only want the @2x assets.

    So when I upload the 2x assets in Marvelapp, I can just select all and hit upload.

    In Marvelapp, I like to make sure my images are crisp and not blurry. Giving the designer the option to choose between exporting just @1x and @2x will allow that flexibility.

  • Virginia Ibarra commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, please. Exporting is a pain in the neck right now. I usually export 50 frames or so at once, and even though I select 1x, after exporting I have 1x and 2x files. I have to then go though and delete all the 2x files making it a hassle.

    Hi Adobe, Again, please look at the way Sketch handles exporting options. The user has the option to export at whatever sizes he/she wants at any given time. It's a true UI Designer dream. Copy Sketch and you're on your way to UI Design domination.

  • Rob Wootten commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I need to option to only export 1x or 2x or 3x. I don't need to always export all of the sizes at once.

  • Stevo commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Hi Joe,

    The latest one - 0.5.451

    I am left wondering why does Adobe XD always export my artboards in @1x AND @2x?

    Why can't it just be one size?

    Why does it have to export the artboards as @1x @2x and 3x for iOS, and Android with all the folders.

    It would make sense if you're exporting assets like icons. But why artboards? I don't get it...

  • Stevo commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    When I press export all artboards, it gives me @1x and @2x.
    When I select artboards and export, it gives me 3 options. Export to web, ios or Android. Like really?

  • Patrick Cartelli commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I'd like a way to export only the 1x version of a screen. When creating UI specs I don't need both sets of images.
