Make & keep
Export Photoshop strip panels as separately named artboard files
Give each artboard its own output file with a predictable shared prefix.
A layout with one artboard per frame can deliver separate images without manually hiding layers and exporting repeatedly, which reduces naming mistakes. Photoshop’s Artboards To Files command includes options for filenames and overlapping content. Use a duplicate of the master if export settings still need experimentation before delivery.
Name the panels
Give each artboard a clear frame number or guest-safe filename before export. Choose File → Export → Artboards To Files, then select the destination folder and a prefix that groups the set.

Choose boundaries
Decide whether the export should include only artboard content or overlapping areas. Select the required file type and any background option, then export. Check that the artboards do not overlap in a way that leaks neighbouring content.

Audit the files
Open the resulting files and compare their count and names with the intended panels. Inspect the edges and backgrounds. If an image is missing or includes adjacent artwork, correct the artboard bounds and export again.
