How can we improve Illustrator (desktop)? Vote or share a new idea — one request per entry, please.

← Illustrator (Desktop) Feature Requests

In Export for Screens, allow to export specific layers as we already can do with artboards

Now we can only export the multiple artboards on one layer at a time. Please make it possible to select more than one layer and export those to files.

It would save a ton of time when we have multiple images to export from like dartboards stacked up on multiple layers.

    File > Export > Export for screens
    Add a tab "Layers" where you can choose which Artboards and Layers export.
    For each selected Artboard it will export only the selected layers.

    Please add functionality to export (selected) Layers as separate files.

    I use Ai often as a texture-creator.
    I create layers for color, bump, normal, reflection etc. to import in Cinema4D.

    Since export to .psd / Write Layers does not work in every case, it would be nice to have the possibility to export Layers as separate images.

    Please allow the option for illustrator/Photoshop/inDesign to export individual layers (cropped or uncropped) + ALSO export selected layers only AND/OR grouped layers only (cropped or uncropped).
    Also; Please add a "solo" view layers button.

    export visible artwork and automatically name it same as the selected layer

    Great that someone made a script and I appreciate that. I appreciate the link.

    This seems like a functionality that should be part of AI anyway. My "Suggestion / Request" stands.
