Hi all,

Is there any way to export a world as an image? I saw something about it on github, but couldn’t make any sense of it.

Not from Tiled, but you can via the `tmxrasterizer` CLI utility that comes with Tiled. You can find it in Tiled’s install directory. It’s normally used for rendering a single Tiled map to an image, but if you pass in a `.world` file, you’ll get an image of the world.

Example CLI command to use it (after you’ve navigated to where `tmxraserizer` is located):  
`tmxrasterizer "D:\sample.world" "D:\sample.png"`

By default it’ll render all visible layers and render the world at 100% zoom. You can change this and other settings through additional `--options`, you can view all the options via `tmxrasterizer --help`. This example will render the world at 50% zoom and hide object layers:  
`tmxrasterizer "D:\sample.world" "D:\sample.png" --scale 0.5 --hide-object-layers`
