Medium Preview	Largest edge maximum 3200px. File type will be JPEGs, unless the original image has a transparent background, in which case the download will be a PNG.
Origonal	Dimensions will be exact to the asset at completion. File type will be exact to the asset at completion.

XML	Export the text output as XML, useful for structured data exchange.

Folder Structure

When downloading assets, you can choose between a Flat or Nested folder structure.

Structure Options

Folder Structure	Details
Flat	All assets will be downloaded and grouped within a singular folder. Easier for quick navigation or accessing images in a large batch.
Nested	Assets will be downloaded and organized into sub-folders, based on product codes, production types, etc.

⚠️ Important: When downloading files, CF will only use the first 16 characters of the product code as the folder name to avoid breaking the limit of the Operating System.

⚠️ Important: Folder names may be automatically truncated to meet operating system requirements:

Windows: 260 characters maximum path length (including filename)
macOS: 1024 characters maximum path length (including filename)
