[Save for Web?]

There is now indeed a "preview" Checkbox in the export pane. Gives you a tiny poststamp preview at 8%. You can enlarge the preview, but the original underneath stays the same size. You cannot change this since the focus is on the export dialog box that is open. The preview window is attached to the export pane in some weird way. You cannot manipulate the preview window so that it sits side by side with the original, change the settings and compare the original with the exported version while you make the changes.

All in all a rather clumsy interpretation of the "save for web" functionality that we use and came to love in other apps. Not something that will make you happy if preparing images for online use is part of your workflow.

 

Gives me 13% by default - guess it depends on screen resolution. Also - you actually can resize the preview window any way you want. It doesnt remember it so you have to do it next time all over again.

As you can see - this is clearly just a first version but hey - IT DID HAPPEN! Its a first step but a huge one! Many thanks developers cause this was a pain for web designers and now its gone. Its a bit clumsy yet but it is available! Thanks a lot!!! 😊

 

EDIT: You have to CTRL Scroll to zoom the preview yet.

This is really needed. We are planning to switch from Adobe but no preview makes Affinity almost useless if working for web. Please implement this feature!

Hi there,
I am contemplating a switch from Adobe PSE and the first thing I wanted to know was "export for web" in Affinity Photo as I use this feature quite often in PSE. Googled it and landed right here. I am quite astonished finding out that the otherwise highly praised AP can't do this... As this is the first feature I have checked out with AP in researching PSE alternatives, I am curious finding what else won't work either...

Yes please, we need this and people have been talking about this since 2015 here!

In order to balance filesize and image quality you need to be able to compare the original image and the exported image side by side. Just typing in a value for compression and hope for the best is not going to work. Images are all different, and require different settings. You need to be able to see what you are doing.

Not being able to see what an exported image will look like is a dealbreaker for me. I was hoping that the affinity suite was going to help me get away from Adobe. Also, I like the apps and feel sympathetic towards affinity and would love to support them. But I am afraid it is not going to happen (yet).

Same here. I bought affinity photo and designer and there is a few things I liked more on photoshop but overall -> affinity wins. But this one option as me being mostly a web developer - this is a crucial thing guys! You are making promises about this since 2015!!! Please - can we get an estimated date of this function? Not being able to see a preview makes the exporter pretty much useless for anyone who deals with web.
