Save Image

This node saves its input to an image output. By default, this works in coordination with the Render/Export functionality, only saving out images when you choose File > Render.

Here’s how that works:

  • Add a “Save Image” node to the end of your node chain.
  • In the properties, select the output folder.
  • Optionally, change the filename template. The ##### will be replaced with the sequence number, e.g. image-#####.png will turn into image-00001.png, image-00002.png, and so on.
  • Go to File > Render, choose the amount of frames and frame rate.
  • This will render out the “save image” node

Parameters

  • Enable A boolean plug. Connect it to a Conditional or a detection node to save only while the value is true.
  • Save When to save the images. On Export saves only during File > Render. Always also saves during normal operation, which can slow down the network. Never disables saving.
  • Folder Folder to image sequence
  • Template Image filename template. The ##### will be replaced with the sequence number, e.g. image-#####.png will turn into image-00001.png, image-00002.png, and so on. The extension picks the format: .png or .jpg.
  • Quality The JPEG quality from 0 to 1. PNG files ignore it.
