# Image capture

> Frame the model and save it as a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image.

**Capture mode** saves an image of the model exactly as the frame shows it: current outfit, paint, or components, plus your lighting and background. A paused animation pose is kept.

## Save an image

**1. Set up the model**

Dress or configure the model first. For an animated ped, pause on the pose you want ([Animations and bones](/viewer/animations-and-bones.md)).

**2. Click Capture mode**

The stage shows the image frame and Properties becomes **Capture**. Playback pauses. The grid, bone overlays, and interior layers are hidden; **Wireframe** stays if it is on.

Capture mode on the paused ped.

**3. Compose the shot**

Capture mode keeps your current angle and distance. Turn on **Auto frame** to fit the whole model, then set **Margin around**; with it off, set **Distance** yourself. Adjust **Elevation**, **Tilt**, and **FOV** (low values flatten perspective).

Elevation 40, Tilt 10, Auto frame on.

**4. Choose the output**

Pick a **Format**, **Aspect ratio**, **Size**, and **Scale**. **Size** sets the longest edge and **Scale** multiplies the result. The label shows the final resolution.

**5. Click Export image**

Choose a name and folder. **Saved to …** appears when the file is written.

Click **Exit capture mode** to return to the editor.

## Options

| Option | What it does | Default |
| - | - | - |
| **Azimuth** | Turns around the model, 0 to 360°. 0° is the front. | Your current view |
| **Elevation** | Looks from above or below, −89° to 89°. | Your current view |
| **Tilt** | Rolls the camera, −180° to 180°. | 0° |
| **FOV** | Field of view, 10° to 120°. | 50° |
| **Auto frame** | Fits the whole model in the frame. | Off on entry; on after a camera reset |
| **Margin around** | Empty space around the fitted model, 0 to 2. Needs **Auto frame**. | 0.1 |
| **Distance** | Camera distance, 1 to 100. Needs **Auto frame** off. | Your current distance |
| **Format** | **PNG** and **WebP** keep transparency. **JPEG** does not. | **PNG** |
| **Quality** | JPEG and WebP only. | 0.92 |
| **Aspect ratio** | 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 3:4, 9:16, or **Custom**. | 1:1 |
| **Size** | Longest edge in pixels, 16 to 8192. | 1024 |
| **Width**, **Height** | Set each side. Only with **Custom**. | Current size |
| **Scale** | Multiplies both sides by 1 to 4. | 1 |

Reset the camera in capture mode to return the numbers to a three-quarter view.

WebP at a custom size.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The final width × final height, after **Scale**, cannot exceed 16,777,216 pixels. **Export image** is disabled above this limit.

## Limits and plans

A saved image counts against your weekly capture allowance, the same one the Capture tab uses. Cancelling the save dialog uses none. See [rageon.dev/pricing](https://rageon.dev/pricing) for what each plan includes. Saving can still be refused after you pick a folder.

## Troubleshooting

> **JPEG doesn't keep transparency: the background comes out black. Use PNG or WebP, or turn off “Transparent background” in Rendering.**
>
> Change **Format** to **PNG** or **WebP**, or turn off **Transparent background**.

> **…×… exceeds the 16 megapixel limit per image. Reduce the size.**
>
> Lower **Size**, **Width**, **Height**, or **Scale**. The numbers in the message may not include **Scale**, so check the label next to it.

> **Sign in to your account to continue.**
>
> Sign in to your Rageon account, then export again.

> **Your session predates the plan limits. Sign in to your account again.**
>
> Sign out, sign back in, and export again.

> **Weekly capture quota used up: … of … used. It renews on ….**
>
> You reached your weekly capture allowance. It renews on the date shown. See [rageon.dev/pricing](https://rageon.dev/pricing).

> **Weekly capture quota used up: … of … used. The request is larger than the weekly quota.**
>
> Your weekly capture allowance cannot cover this export. Check your plan at [rageon.dev/pricing](https://rageon.dev/pricing).

> **Too many requests in a row to the server. Try again in … s.**
>
> Wait the number of seconds shown, then try again.
