Hi! 👋 First off — Bento is fantastic. I use it every week to build Instagram carousel decks for my IG, and the single-file + browser-is-the-editor approach is just brilliant. Thank you for building it!
The ask: a built-in way to export slides as images — ideally both "export this slide" and "export all slides", as PNG or JPG.
Why: platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook only accept images for carousel posts, so a deck's final destination is often a folder of 1080×1080 JPGs rather than a presentation. Right now the printer icon gives a lovely PDF export, but getting images means either converting the PDF page by page or scripting a headless browser to screenshot each slide in Slideshow mode (my current workaround — it works, but it's a lot of machinery for "save as PNG" 😅).
What would make it perfect:
Export at the document's exact pixel size (e.g. a 1080×1080 deck → 1080×1080 images), with maybe a 1x/2x scale option
Numbered filenames (slide-01.png, slide-02.png, …) so they stay in order when uploaded
Main slides only (skipping state slides) would match how a swipeable carousel is consumed — or make it a checkbox
Since slides already render in the browser, I'm hoping canvas/html-to-image-style capture (or the existing print pipeline) could make this a natural fit for the ~560 KB shell philosophy.
Thanks again for an amazing tool — happy to test a beta of this anytime! 🙏
