batch extract all psd layers to jpg, multiple images

Post by scalehill »

Is it possible to batch a process which will take a folder of Photoshop psd files, and extract all layers in each to jpg files in another folder ?

I know I can do them one at a time with Tools/Multipage/Extract All into.. but being able to automate a number of them in a folder would be fantastic

Welcome aboard, Roy.

XnConvert (and XnView MP's batch processing engine) have an option for that: Convert all pages from multipage file. I did my tests with BracketsIO.psd and When output files already exist set to Rename which resulted in 44 individual “pages” ranging from BracketsIO.png, BracketsIO_1.png, BracketsIO_2.png, …, BracketsIO_43.png.

That;s impressive, thank you.

Tried it with XnviewMP, and it worked for the first time, I deleted the output files, tried it again, but this timeit just showed the flat .psd file. Restarted, but couldn't get it to work again, veryodd.

Tried it with XnConvert, and it worked, everytime. I'm getting the topmost layer n each .psd extracted twice, but that's a small issue.

Thanks
