What Happened to Save for Web in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 8:42 pm

When Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 was released, one of the first things users noticed was the Save for Web (Legacy) feature was missing. The feature allowed users to export optimized images for the web or devices, and many relied on it for their workflows. While the new Export As feature has replaced Save for Web (Legacy), many users are still wondering what happened to it and how they can get their hands on the feature again.

PRO TIP: If you are using Photoshop to save images for web use, be aware that the “Save for Web” feature has been removed in the latest update. You can still access this feature by going to File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy), but it is not included in the main menu.

The Save for Web (Legacy) feature was removed in Photoshop CC 2018 because it was outdated and no longer supported by modern web browsers. The new Export As feature is a more robust and powerful tool that can be used to export images for the web or devices. While the new Export As feature may take some time to get used to, it is a more powerful tool that can be used to create better optimized images for the web or devices.

So what happened to Save for Web (Legacy)? It was removed because it was outdated and no longer supported by modern web browsers.

The new Export As feature is a more robust and powerful tool that can be used to export images for the web or devices.
