🚀 Export System Improvements (Baseline Release)
We’ve introduced a new, unified export experience across Layer giving teams more control, consistency, and production-ready outputs.
🆕 New Export Dialog (Unified Component)
We’ve built a standardized export dialog used across the platform.
Quality & Resolution Controls
Adjustable output quality
Resolution scaling options
Consistent behavior across image types
Admin-Controlled Metadata Toggle
Workspace-level setting
Admins can enable/disable embedded metadata controlling
Applies across all exports within the workspace
Save Export Preferences Locally
Remembers last-used export settings
Reduces repetitive configuration for high-volume workflows
Frontend Alignment
All existing download/export entry points now use this unified dialog
Consistent behavior across image generation, editing, and workflow outputs
🖼️ Expanded File Format Support
You can now export generated assets in:
PNG
JPEG
PSD (NEW)
Embedded Metadata Support
For supported formats, Layer now embeds:
Model used
Generation IDs
Timestamps
Other internal tracking data
This improves:
Traceability
Compliance workflows
Performance attribution
Asset lifecycle tracking
PSD Export
PSD exports include:
A single generated image as a layer
Compatible with Photoshop workflows
Designed for seamless handoff to creative teams
📦 Batch Export via ZIP
You can now:
Export multiple assets at once
Automatically bundle them into a ZIP file
Maintain metadata and selected export settings across the batch
This significantly improves high-volume production workflows (UA, LiveOps, variants).
What's next?
The following enhancements are planned next:
Asynchronous Export Notifications
Notify users when export processing is complete
Especially relevant for:
Large batch exports
Drive upload/download workflows
Metadata Preservation Across Uploaded Files
Preserve Layer metadata when:
Uploading files into Layer
Converting between formats (e.g., PNG → PSD)
Ensure metadata continuity across full asset lifecycle.
