This material can be used in Studio Mode. (What is Studio Mode?)

Export the current layer as a PNG

Automatically export the currently selected layer on its own as a PNG, without affecting the visibility of any other layers. Works on individual layers or layer folders. Just select a layer, run the auto-action, then choose the file name. Uses layer comps to temporarily save the document state, so will not work on versions of Clip Studio before version 3.0, or in Clip Studio Debut.

When choosing where to export the file, you can choose to either export only the parts of the layer that are drawn on (cropping any transparent pixels on the edges) by changing the "Export range" dropdown to "Selection area". Leaving it on "All pages" will export the layer at the same resolution as the canvas.

You can also register auto-actions to keyboard shortcuts for even faster exporting. Use "File -> Shortcut settings" and change the category to "Auto actions" to set this up.

Example usage

Select the layer you want to export


Run the auto-action (press the play button)


Choose a name for your file, then choose either "Selection area" or "All pages" for the export range


Done!
