1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
If I add an image to figma and then resize that image I would like to export it at the original resolution. Maybe if there was even a button to resize the image to the full size.

2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

**3. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation **
(e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

I know a way how to export 100% scale image but it is not so easy.
Select a frame/rectangle with the background image and on the property panel set Image Fill type to “Tile” and next to it 100%. Then correct frame/rectangle size to fit only one image iteration. And export it as 1x.

Hope it will help.

If you want to see the original size of an image you can select the image, go to Fill, change it yo crop with 100% and you will see the actual size of the image.

To export the original image, just switch to dev mode, click on the image and export it from the toolbar on the right.

This doesn’t work anymore. I run into this problem a few times a month.

The original image can be obtained in this way:

Select the element (in this case your frame); Go to the Inspect tab; In the Code section switch to the Table view; Click on the image.png link.
