Can’t Save as PNG in Photoshop? Here’s How to Fix It (Save As vs Export)
Can’t find PNG in the Save As menu in Photoshop? You’re not alone — and it’s not a bug. Adobe changed how PNG saving works in newer Photoshop versions, and in this quick tutorial, I show you exactly how to fix it.
What you’ll learn:
Why Save As no longer includes PNG in certain color modes
How to switch to RGB mode to bring back traditional saving
How to use Save a Copy to get the classic save options
Why Export As is now the most flexible (and modern) way to save a PNG — even from CMYK files
📌 This is perfect for:
Anyone exporting logos, mockups, or web graphics
Designers stuck in CMYK or 16-bit mode
Creators confused about Photoshop’s new save behavior
🎯 Bonus: Export As will still let you save a PNG even if your file is CMYK or not flattened — but it converts it silently behind the scenes. This video explains both paths clearly.
