Press “Alter / Option + Shift + Control / Command + S” and there will be a window saying “Save for Web”. Also, notice the “Preset” on the right side for the upcoming steps.

Step 3:
Click on the arrow of “Preset” and find the list of image formats optimized for the web. Once you pick the image format, click on “Save” below the window.
Step 4:
Next, you will see another window – “Save Optimised As”. Now, find the “Slices” option at the bottom of the window.
Step 5:
Then, in the “Slices” option—click on the arrow pointed in the image. Select “All Slices”. Select a folder from “Save in” and press the “Save” button.
