Is there a way to export masks out of Substance Painter?

  There is no native feature for that, but you should be able to copy/replicate a mask into a fill layer. Then just create two fill layers, one being white, the other black and you will get your mask.

  Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a shot.
  
  Could you maybe put this on the list? A mask exporting option, or perhaps being able to copy them to the clipboard.

  That would be nice! Maybe a right click export selected layer/mask-feature.

  I found a way I think, plugin the map in the RGB plus add in the Alpha. Hope this helps

  I know this is an old thread, but you can right-click on the mask in your layers list and click export mask to file.

  Also wanted to add to @William3DArtist answer.
  
  You can create an additional channel that is custom one User0, User1 etc and put it as an extra export map. I used this a lot because needed masks exported from specific textured regions and use it later in shader, because of the amount of iterations, that gave me automaticy and I didn't need to readjust anything later, only focus on the texture.
  
  
  
  This is useful for example if you have Opacity map already in use, so you can make just another channel with properties needed ^^
