Quick Export Layers Docker Plugin

This is a quick and simple export docker for quality of life that I created in order to make exporting faster and more versatile.

I’ve personally been using it for myself for a few years and it’s been a great addition to my toolkit so I thought I might share it and hopefully be useful to another soul out there.

From the Readme:

Quick Export Layers Docker Plugin for Krita

The quick export layers docker plugin is a docker for the Krita drawing program from where you can quickly export the current open document in different ways depending on your needs.

Created by fullmontis using the python Export Layers plugin from the Krita source as a base.

  2. Open Krita, go to Settings → Configure Krita… → Python Plugin Manager and check the Quick Export Layers Docker
  3. Restart Krita, then go to Settings → Docker → Quick Export Layers Docker to turn the docker on

Thank you, @fullmontis

Very nice plugin, I made a fork where I changed the UI and added features inspired by Adobe Illustrator’s “Export for Screens” feature.

  • “Export layers separately” options are hidden unless checked
  • You can export a resized version of your file
  • You can click the folder icon to open your file explorer at that location
  • You can export in multiple file formats and toggle transparency for PNGs
  • Exporting PNGs with “Skip export dialog” will export the PNG at max lossless compression
  • You can rename your exported files
