: I'm trying to export a spread but it is not working I am trying to export a two page spread in indesign to png so i can put it in a mockup in photoshop. However whenever I export it,

@Ann6370331

This is a typical case of an 'unclear question'. You appear to have a misunderstanding of what you are working with (probably a template) and/or the way InDesign works:


your document only has 1 page, not 3 pages. this 1 page appears to be the 'cover'
what you thought was the other 2 pages is actually set up as a double master page. i won't go into the differences between these here. do some research on your own on pages/master pages and try to understand your document


The quick fix:


right click your only page in the 'Pages' panel (the thumbnail with a '2' below it in your second image). Choose 'Numbering & Section Options' and type '1' in the 'Start Page numbering at' field
add 2 new pages in your document after the existing page and make this use the existing A-Master
then you should really have 3 pages
then try to re-export as you initially tried. it should work now

You have to specifically export as spreads:


File > Export
Select "png" from the "save as type" dropdown
Save
In the window that opens (Export PNG) select "spreads"


Note: You could also export as pdf (again, spreads). That more options, and you can drag a pdf straight into Photoshop.
