      VectorStyler's Object Export feature already allows individual layers to be exported as separate PNG files, which is extremely useful.

      However, when exporting multiple layers that need identical dimensions and alignment, the current workaround is to add an invisible, full-canvas rectangle to each layer.

      Would it be possible to eliminate this requirement by adding an Export Bounds option to the Object Export settings?

      For example:

      • Object Bounds: Export using the actual dimensions of the selected layer or object (current behavior).
      • Canvas Bounds: Export each selected layer using the full canvas dimensions.
      • Artboard Bounds: Export each selected layer using the corresponding artboard dimensions.

      With Canvas Bounds or Artboard Bounds selected, every exported PNG would have identical dimensions, with the artwork retaining its original position and transparent pixels filling the unused areas.

      This would be especially useful for screen printing, where individual color separation layers need to maintain exact alignment when exported as PNG files.

      It would also simplify the workflow considerably, allowing users to select multiple layers and export them all in one operation without adding invisible rectangles.

      Is this something that could be added to the Object Export feature?
