Hello, I am trying to cut up an image (using the default grid from document properties) and export them as separate images, and I'm wondering if this is even possible. Does anyone know how to do this, or ifΒ it is even possible
There is a slicer extension that will batch output png files, based on rectangles added to the workspace. Those can be generated in the same tiling as a grid.
Draw 1 square and go Edit->Clone->Create tiled clones - as much as you like - delete origin square - select all squares and go Path->Combine - import your image and go Object->Pattern->Objects to Pattern - select compound squares and go Fill+Stroke panel to apply Pattern fill - adjust image scale - when done go Path->Break Apart - you now have individual squares with part of the image-as-pattern applied.

Nothing grid-based that I know of.

What size or how many images are we discussing?
I think they're 1k x 1k squares on a bigger document.
What works here:
Draw 1 square and go Edit->Clone->Create tiled clones - as much as you like - delete origin square - select all squares and go Path->Combine - import your image and go Object->Pattern->Objects to Pattern - select compound squares and go Fill+Stroke panel to apply Pattern fill - adjust image scale - when done go Path->Break Apart - you now have individual squares with part of the image-as-pattern applied.
I'd start with 100x100 and see how long it takes.Β
I have already played through this with 10k as described above.
Thank you Polygon : that's a very smart method.
Works great with batch export of selection.
