so I was exporting images with the "export as" feature and realized there was a "hopper" or side bar that currently had a thumbnail of the image i was exporting and it looks as if i could have the hopper full of the rest of the images i was exporting all under the same perameters. so i googled batc hexporting, and all the videos show some way of doing it with scripts, but the GUI of the script export is very confusing and advanced looking and does not have GIF as a possible export, and you cant change the iages dimesions in this script stlye export. Am I tripping? does it not look like I should be able to load more images inot this export window? is it not stupid that you loose features when you batch export? maybe im doing it totally wrong but I dont think so lol.

The feature is for multiple layers/groups/artboards in a single document, not multiple documents.

ahhhh ok! , Thanks! that seems like a massive oversite to not either combine this feature, or make a similar feature for batch exporting and throw that script nonsense in the trash. like why would it be required to loose export features while batch exporting? but if you want to jsut export one thing then you get features? how would you export a bunch of open images all with the same pixel width? which is what i wanted to do but had to do one at a time.

What can I say?

Export As is a long-running "work in progress".

There is the File > Automate > Batch command, that can be used on all open documents to run an action, the action would do the resizing... Or there is File > Scripts > Image Processor which can save all open files to including a resize to fit proportional width or height.

Then there are 3rd party scripts:
