Exporting and downloading Studio designs

When a design is ready you can download it as PNG, SVG or PDF, or save a copy to the project library. There are two places to do it: the canvas menu and the Download button in the piece's header.

From the canvas: Export

1. Open the piece in the Canvas tab.
2. Open the canvas menu and go to Export.
3. Choose the format:
   • PNG · current page: an image of the page you have open.
   • PNG · all pages: one image per page.
   • SVG · current page: the page in vector format.
   • PDF · all pages: a single PDF with every page.

While it's being generated you'll see Exporting….

From the header: Download

The Download button in the piece's header offers:

• Image (PNG), if the design has a single page. If it has several, you'll see First page and All pages, both in PNG.
• Document: a PDF with every page.
• Save to media library · as a version: saves the first page as a PNG to the project library. That's the file used when you publish.
• Video, if the piece has a video: downloads the video file as it is.

What goes into the export

• Only what's inside a page is exported. If anything sits outside, you'll see a warning that some elements are outside any page. Move it inside or use Turn into pages, as explained in designing on the canvas.
• Each page exports at its own size. If you need a different one, change it first in Page size.
• It exports what you see on screen. If you have unsaved changes, save them first so the library version matches the design.

Saving a version to the library

To publish to social networks, the design needs to be in the project library as a file. Save to media library · as a version does that for you:

1. Save the design with Save changes.
2. Press Download › Save to media library · as a version.
3. Studio exports the first page as a PNG and uploads it to the library. You'll see "Version saved to the media library".

If you repeat the step after changing the design, the new export is stacked on top of the previous one as another version of the same file ("Media library updated with the new version"). That way the library doesn't fill up with loose copies and the piece always publishes the latest one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export as JPG or MP4?

No. Today the available formats are PNG, SVG and PDF.

How do I download a carousel?

Use PNG · all pages for one image per page, or Document if you'd rather have a single PDF.

Why is an element missing from the exported file?

It's probably outside every page. Place it inside a page and export again.

Does saving to the media library overwrite the previous file?

No. The new export is stacked as a version of the same file, and the previous one stays in its history. The piece switches to the new version.
