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.

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...

Hello all,
I am new to the Affinity apps. I work as a freelance designer and most of my work nowadays is for the web. Just downloaded the trial versions of Designer, Publisher and Photo. Have been playing around with Designer, followed some tutorials and made an illustration with it. I was impressed with what it offers and how it works. e, For instance I like the pen tool with the curve tool more than the illustrator tools, really easy to work with.
Now I am looking into the Photo app. Looks really good and offers a nice set of features. But to prepare images for the web, sliders and banners I use the "save for web and devices" in photoshop a lot. 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).
Which is a shame.
