P: LR iOS batch export gets stuck

Open a ticket with Adobe by chatting to them. They'll call you eventually and I feel like many people doing this is the only way to put enough pressure on them to fix it. I currently have a ticket open which they're investigating but it's taking them a long time to get back to me. They did acknowledge the issue though

I have the same issue on iPad Pro M1 and M4:

images are DNG files from Leica M10, M10 Monochrome, and Q. 

Ever since Lightroom uses the terminology "rendering" when exporting images it's been super slow. Exporting 50 images now takes 15 minutes. If it finishes at all, often it gets stuck on any random number of image no matter how long you wait. 

So 2 complaints: 

its completely broken and often doesn't export at all.

its incredibly slow every since Lightroom uses the term "rendering, this may take a while".

Its absolutely shameful to release software this buggy to paying customers. Its barely usable right now. 

Any update on this one? I still have a lot of exports pending..

I’ve encountered significant performance issues using Lightroom on my iPad Pro (M4, 11") when working with 60MP DNG files from my Leica M11.

To maintain a reasonable editing workflow, I’ve resorted to pausing sync before downloading images from my SD card. This allows me to complete edits without extreme delays. However, once images are synced, editing slows down drastically—functions often become unresponsive, and in many cases, the app stalls entirely.

As a temporary workaround, I’ve started restarting Lightroom every time I need to edit a synced image. This means restarting the app for every single image, which is incredibly frustrating.

Thanks to a suggestion in this support thread, I’ve learned I can batch save images to my device as JPEGs, but only after performing a full restart on the iPad.

These issues only began after a recent update about a month ago. Previously, I had no trouble editing these files, even at their large size.

As a daily user of Lightroom, this has significantly impacted my workflow, forcing me to consider alternative solutions. I implore Adobe to address this issue promptly—this is not sustainable for professionals who rely on your software.

Thank you for your attention.

Mine won't even allow 1 photo sometimes, I have to turn the tablet off then on and hope it will then.  It's hit and miss

Same issue over here, really annoying: using "Export as", it starts rendering, it sometimes throws a warning (and then restarts rendering), sometimes it closes the app completly.

I think it has something tondo with the ammount of photos selected for export (batches of 20 photos are not a problem, 140 photos at once are very painfull).

I use Lightroom on an iPad Pro M2.

When im done editing raw files and i try to export them, for some reason some photos just get stuck at "rendering - this may take a while". I tried reinstalling the app, re syncing all photos, creating a new album then saving it locally and then exporting all photos in the album, but nothing fixed the issue. Export still get stuck here. Can someone help please?

this bug makes Lightroom iPad unuseable. 

im on ipadOS 18.1 with the latest version of Lightroom from AppStore 

Thanks I'll try that

Turning the iPad off completely and then restarting it seems to allow me one large batch. Although it seems lately I've been able to close Lightroom and restart it to do small 10 to 20 files. Hope that helps a bit.

I’ve been facing issues with Adobe Lightroom on my iPad Pro since the update about a month ago. Previously, I could export batches of 40 images as JPEGs by downloading to device without any problems. Now, I’m lucky if I can export 8 images at a time. Even then, the process often stalls, and I end up having to export images one by one. This has significantly slowed down my workflow.

I’m working with RAW DNG files from a Leica M11-P. My setup includes Lightroom version 10.0.2 (build 340050/173) on an iPad Pro M4 running iOS 18.1.

Has anyone else experienced this problem since the update? Are there any fixes or workarounds to improve batch exporting? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
