Problems with PNG export

Hello guys,

is there any option in the png export for multiple layers where you can change not to cut down the png? I've got many layers i'm about to export and my problem is that the content of the png is always centered. I need them same in size and position as they are in my psd document. Exporting every single layer is not an option for me.

Thank you in advance.

PNGs don't normally support layers. Macromedia, later Adobe Fireworks used a non-standard implementation of PNG that supported layers as the native file format for Fireworks.  Fireworks was eliminated years ago.

For a file that supports layers, use .PSD, .TIF or .PDF but make sure you select the option to save as layers when you first save your file. If you don't, they will be flattened and no hope of recovery once the original file is closed. They will be toast.

Thank you for your response. I guess my question was kind of confusing. I know pngs doesnt support multiple layers. I've got a psd with multiple layers in a workspace like 1000x1000. the pngs i want to export only fill 300x300 in space. if i export them via export as ... they will get cut down to its filling size and centered. I want them to stay at their position and size of the psd workspace. i got 5x 300 layers i need to export.
