# Saving and Exporting **Saving Images**\ After activating Astra Image, you can save images in a variety of formats. For JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WebP images, you can adjust certain settings, such as compression and data type before saving. **Exporting Images**\ The Export Image function is very useful if you want to save an image in different sizes and/or formats (such as for use on a website) without modifying the image itself.
Export Image dialog

The Export Image dialog.

**Format**\ You can export an image in JPEG, PNG, TIFF or WebP formats. Each format has different settings for compression, data type etc. **Image Size**\ This will resize the exported image, but leave the open image in Astra Image unchanged. You can manually specify with width and height (in pixels), or you can use a Scale percentage. The resample method lets you choose the algorithm used to resize the image. **Keep metadata**\ If this option is checked, the original metadata will be replicated in the exported image. Uncheck this to remove metadata in the exported image. **Close this dialog on save**\ Sometimes you may want to export an image in several sizes or formats. If this option is unchecked, the Export Image dialog will remain open so that you can continue to export quickly. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
