I have a map of 1x1 (so one tile). The tiles are 256x384 pxs in size, so I would expect the exported image to be that large. Instead, the file is 261×473 pxs, so it would seem that it is slightly enlarged; perhaps because Tiled adds a small margin? Is there any way to remove this margin? I want the exported image to be precisely 1 tile in size.

Normally this shouldn’t happen. Can you check whether the offset on your layer is 0? It’s unfortunately quite easy to move the layer a little bit by accident, and it would cause the image to be bigger. You can check this in the layer’s properties.
