How to export photos as JPEG with different Quality settings
Export as JPG converts your RAW files into JPEGs with all their edits applied — and lets you choose the quality, so you can trade file size against fidelity.
Step 1 — Open Export
With your project culled — and edited, if you are applying an AI profile — click Export at the bottom of the grid.
Step 2 — Choose Export as JPG
In the Export window, under Save Images to Local, choose Export as JPG. A Quality slider appears beside it.
Step 3 — Set the quality
Drag the slider to the quality you want:
Quality | When to use it |
|---|---|
100 | Maximum detail and the largest files. Best for final delivery and print. |
Around 80 | A good balance — visually close to full quality at a fraction of the size. Ideal for client galleries and online proofs. |
Lower | Smallest files, for quick previews or wherever size matters more than fine detail. |
Step 4 — Pick a destination and export
- Click Export.
- Choose the folder your JPEGs should go to — create a new one if you like.
- Click Select Folder.
FilterPixel converts the files — you will see We're Exporting your photos… — and confirms with Export complete when they are ready.
Good to know• The Quality slider applies to JPG export only. The other options — copying or moving to a folder, .CSV, .XMP do not need it.
• Your original RAW files stay untouched. Exporting writes new JPEGs alongside them.
• Export after editing to bake your AI profile's look into the JPEGs.
• Delivering to another app instead? Use Quick Export to send photos straight to Lightroom, Photoshop or Capture One.
