Exporting Your Images

When you are happy with your design, the Export button in the top bar renders it to a PNG (or a ZIP of every slide for a carousel) and downloads it. It also uploads the files and opens a QR code so you can pull the same download onto your phone.

Save First, Then Export

There is a Save button next to Export in the top bar. The editor does not auto-save, and saving is independent from exporting — if you want what is on your screen to be in your project after you close the tab, hit Save before exporting.

How to Export

1. Click Export in the top bar. A small popover opens.
2. Pick one of:

• Current Slide — Renders just the slide you are viewing.
• All Slides (N) — Renders every slide in the project as a single ZIP. The number in the label is the total slide count. This option only appears when the project has more than one slide.

While an export is running, the Export button is disabled and its icon is replaced with a spinner. Wait for it to finish before starting another export.

What Gets Downloaded

For Current Slide, the editor writes a single file named slide-N.png (where N is the 1-indexed position of the slide you exported) to your browser’s downloads folder.

For All Slides, the editor renders each slide in order, zips them with slide-1.png, slide-2.png, and so on inside the archive, and downloads the ZIP using your project title as the filename (or export.zip if the project has no title).

Output Format and Size

All exports are PNG. There is no JPG option and no quality slider in the export flow.

The output dimensions match your project’s canvas size, rendered at a 2× pixel ratio. For a 1080 × 1080 canvas that means a 2160 × 2160 PNG; a 1080 × 1920 (9:16) canvas comes out 2160 × 3840. You can change the canvas size from Slide Settings on the right panel.

Tip: You do not need to upscale or sharpen the exports — the 2× pixel ratio is already enough for retina displays and Instagram’s feed crop. Upload exactly what the editor produced.

The QR Code Dialog

After the download finishes, a QR code dialog opens. The editor has uploaded the same file(s) to a short-lived download link, and the QR code points at it. Scan it with your phone’s camera to grab the export on the device you actually post from, without emailing it to yourself or messing with cloud sync.

The QR dialog works for both Current Slide (one PNG behind the link) and All Slides (every PNG behind the link). Close the dialog when you’re done.

Common Issues

• Export button is disabled — An export is already in progress. Wait for the spinner to stop, then try again.
• "All Slides" is missing from the popover — The project only has one slide. Add a second slide and the option will appear with the new count.
• A font looks wrong in the export — Fonts may still be loading when you press Export. Wait a couple of seconds after switching a font and re-export.
• Text gets clipped — Turn on the safe-zone grid (grid icon in the top bar) and make sure important text sits inside it. Instagram crops near the edges.

Best Practices Before Exporting

• Toggle on the safe zone and check that headlines and CTAs are inside it.
• Step through every slide once to confirm there are no untouched template placeholders.
• Confirm your Links section in the Global panel has the right handle and URL — those drive any link-token CTAs across the carousel.
• Hit Save, then Export. That way the file you upload to Instagram matches what is stored on your account.
