Quick export of HTML and web graphics formats
You can use the dedicated options in the File menu to quickly export web pages and web graphics,
without selecting the formats from the full list of available export formats shown when you use "File" >
"Export
".

"File" > "Export website": Export the current website document to a location of your choice
on your computer.

"File > "Export JPEG": Export the current selection, or current page, to a JPEG file.

"File" > "Export PNG": Export the current selection, or current page, to a PNG file.
For more information, see the Getting Started chapter.
Exporting as a bitmap
JPEG, GIF and PNG are universal formats supported by most modern computer applications. PNG is
the highest quality. JPEG is better suited to photographic work, but can produce acceptable, compact
files (you can control the quality and file size).
GIF format only supports 256 colors, and although common on many websites, PNG is a better format.
PNG also supports semi-transparent graphics (use the True Color + Alpha option), but this is not
correctly supported by older Microsoft Internet Explorer versions (it is by all other web browsers).
The fewer colors you have in a file, the smaller the file and the lower the quality. However, when using
256 colors or less Xara Web Designer 7 Premium provides very advanced techniques to simulate a
much wider range of colors, and so you can get very high, near photographic quality results using only
256 colors or less.

Important
Bitmaps are output at the current view quality so for best results make sure that "Window" > "Quality
" is set to anti-aliased.
Exporting a Photoshop PSD file
Photoshop is a bitmap editor, so when exporting to PSD format all the vector objects in Xara Web
Designer 7 Premium are rasterized. You can select the resolution (dpi) when exporting.
Always save your work in Xara Web Designer 7 Premium prior to exporting. Then, if you wish to alter
your original objects in the future, just load Xara Web Designer 7 Premium, make any changes and then
export the required objects again.
To export as a PSD file choose "File" > "Export" then select Adobe Photoshop in the Save as Type
list.
Layers
Layers in Xara Web Designer 7 Premium are retained when exporting to PSD format. Each layer is
rasterized as a separate PSD layer, including layer names. Layers visibility is also passed through, so
layers set to invisible in Xara Web Designer 7 Premium will be exported and set to invisible in
Photoshop. You can turn the layers on and off in Photoshop using the Layers
palette.
Text
You can export text from Xara Web Designer 7 Premium to be editable text in Photoshop, but the text
must be on a layer on its own (on import you may be asked to update the text objects for them to be
