You can also remove the frame filling of the exported object.

5. Tips for Slice Export

5.1 When will a restriction prompt pop up?

  1. The element in the field you selected exceeds the maximum value of 20000 (layer maximum edge * export rate).
  2. Your current browser gives limited resources to Pixso tab.
  3. There are complex layers in the area you selected which make it more difficult to export.

5.2 What to do if there is a restriction prompt?

  1. Reduce the export rate.
  2. Reduce image size. You can scale the layer proportionally using the shortcut key K.
  3. Close redundant tabs.
