## What it is
A Photoshop ExtendScript (JSX) plugin that exports each layer of a PSD document as an individual image file, much faster than Adobe's built-in export script. It supports multiple formats, nested groups, naming schemes, and remembers dialog settings.

## Use cases
- export photoshop layers as individual png files
- batch export layers to jpeg quickly
- export each layer of a psd as separate images
- export visible layers only from photoshop
- export layer groups as folder hierarchy
- trim exported layer images to layer size
- export layers with a common background layer

## When to choose
- you need faster layer exporting than Adobe's built-in script
- you want flexible naming, trimming, and group-hierarchy export options
- you work with PNG, JPEG, TIFF, PDF, Targa, BMP, or PSD output formats

## When to avoid
- you need full feature parity with Adobe's built-in export script
- you don't use Adobe Photoshop
- you need a standalone tool that runs outside Photoshop

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: image-processing, developer-tools
- domain: graphics, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform
