Batch export layers as png WITH transparency IN CANVAS-SIZE not cropped to the asset ?

Question

Hi, maybe you can help me.

I am trying to export very high numbers of layers as png files.

the layers > export as, will allow me to batch all layers ton png with transparency. but it will crop the size to the layer but I need them all in the size of the canvas so they align afterwards again… for an nft project.

the batch command… file > export layers doesnt work bc. the transparency gets lost for some reason as png

thx

Have you tried PNG-24 withFile > Export > Export Layers To Files?

A script in the following topic can add a 1% 1x1 pixel in the upper left and lower right corners of the active layer, which is a hack to work around the issue (the same can be done via an action):

This would need to be included with further code to process all layers and not just the active layer.

More on this topic here, where Adobe explain why:
