Export photos in multiple formats
Learn how to select file formats and quality settings to save edited images for different uses.
Exporting photos in the right format ensures your images display correctly and maintain quality across different platforms and uses.
Use the export workflow when you need to save edited photos with specific format, dimension, or quality requirements. This differs from the Save copy to device option, which saves your photo using default settings. Premium features like Content Credentials and Include Watermark are available with a paid subscription.

JPG exports with HDR content automatically use the Gain Map technology. At display time, compatible screens combine the base image with the Gain Map to show enhanced brightness and color. Standard displays show the base image without issues.
