Export Image to File

The Export Image to File node saves images from a dataflow to a file system location. Images are retrieved from a column in the input data and written to the selected destination folder. A file name can be provided directly or retrieved from a column in the input data. The node processes each row individually and creates a separate file for each image.

Steps:

1. Select a valid File Source connection.
2. Select the destination Folder.
3. Select the Image Column that contains the image data.
4. Specify the File Name or select a column containing the file name.
5. Select the output format.
6. Execute the node: the images are saved to the selected destination.

Configuration

Setting	Required	Description
File Source	Yes	The file system connection used to store the image files.
Folder	Yes	The destination folder where the image files should be created.
Image Column	Yes	The column containing the image data: binary or Base64 encoded. Each row is processed individually.
File Name	Yes	A fixed file name or a column containing the file name (e.g. invoice.png, [FileName]).
Save As	Yes	The output format: PDF, JPG, or PNG.

Output

This node does not return image data: the images are written directly to the configured destination folder.

Tips

• Ensure that the Image Column contains valid image data.
• Use dynamic file names to prevent files from overwriting each other.
• Use PNG when image quality should be preserved.
• Use JPG when smaller file sizes are preferred.
• Verify that the selected destination folder is writable by the configured connection.
