: How do you export the original image that was inserted in a Sketch document? I've inserted a few JPEG images for backgrounds into a Sketch document, and now I want to get the full-resolution
I've inserted a few JPEG images for backgrounds into a Sketch document, and now I want to get the full-resolution images out to use on the web. I don't want to export the JPEG into another JPEG, compressing the image yet again, but that is the only method that I can find.I don't trust Sketch's JPEG optimization to be as good as PS's since it isn't specifically a raster editor.
Is there a way to access the original images placed into the document, and "copy and paste" them out, as opposed to "export as a new JPEG"?

Make a duplicate of your Sketch file
Rename the file extension from .sketch to .zip
Extract the zip file
Find your image in the /images subfolder of the newly created folder
As far as I can tell, the images are embedded into the Sketch file and would need to be exported out individually. Unlike Illustrator or InDesign, they are not "linked" to the originals. So you would need the original files to manipulate, or you could save them out as TIFFs or some other lossless file format to maintain quality and then use Photoshop to optimize for web. However, I've never had any major complaints about Sketch's ability to export images.
