Question

Would anyone use a tool that would allow for image compression from XD preview URLs?

I'm a developer and when I download assets from preview links (e.g. https://xd.adobe.com/view/...) I end up having to upload them to an image compression tool (like TinyJPG), compress them, and then re-download them. In my case the images I'm downloading are way too large for web use so that's why I have to compress them.

 

Although this doesn't take a lot of time, it is annoying and so I'm considering building a web based tool where you could paste in the XD preview URL (e.g. https://xd.adobe.com/view/...), select compression settings, and then download the compressed assets as a zip file all at once.

 

Another annoyance is that the @15739213 assets are always included in the downloads. I don't use 2x assets so I always just end up deleting them after I download them. I was thinking there could be an option in the tool that would exclude the 2x assets as well.

 

Since I'm a developer and I don't work in XD, I don't know if there is a setting that would solve these issues. 

 

I'm just wondering if anyone else has these issues and if there are others who would want to use a tool like this.

@ben_7764 there really isn't any point in creating a plugin for XD as Xd is in maintenance mode.
