Exporting and downloading
Render every banner in every size and download the PNG files.
Export#
Press Save & Export in the editor. The project is saved and queued for rendering, and you land on the dashboard. The project card shows the progress — Waiting for export…, then Rendering image… — and refreshes by itself. Large projects (many banners and sizes) take a little longer; you can leave the page meanwhile.
An export renders one PNG for each banner in each size of the project. A project without banners exports one image per size from the values for all banners.
Download#
- A project with one file: download it straight from its dashboard card.
- Several files: All banners (or All sizes) on the card opens the project's page, which lists every banner with a PNG link for each size.
Watermark#
Exports on the Free plan carry a small “Made with PromoRails” watermark in the bottom-right corner. Paid plans export without it — see Plans and limits.
Your own storage#
On the Pro plan, exports can be saved straight to your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, or to a bucket on Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Google Cloud Storage or any S3-compatible service. Choose one in Account → Storage. Exports there do not count towards your PromoRails storage; uploaded pictures stay in PromoRails storage.
Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive
- Click the drive and sign in to it.
- Allow PromoRails access. It only gets the files it creates itself, never the rest of your drive.
Exports go to PromoRails/<project>/ in Google Drive and to Apps/PromoRails/<project>/ in Dropbox and OneDrive. You can remove PromoRails' access at any time in your drive's settings, or with Disconnect.
An S3-compatible bucket
- Create a bucket and an access key that may write, read and delete objects in it.
- Choose S3-compatible bucket, pick the service, and enter the bucket, region or endpoint and the key. An optional folder keeps PromoRails files together (default
promorails/). - Test & save writes, reads and deletes a small test file, then saves the settings. The secret key is stored encrypted and never shown again.
Exports are written to <folder>/<project>/…png. Your bucket can stay private: PromoRails links to files with short-lived signed URLs, so no public access or CORS set-up is needed.
Exporting again#
Changed something? Export again: the new files replace the previous ones. Changing the template of a project clears its exported files, since they show the old design.
