Exporting & downloading ​

When your work is ready to leave MotherFluxer, you export it. Most artifact types export from the same place — the Snapshot menu — and the file formats you get depend on the type of artifact you made.

Export from the Snapshot menu ​

For most artifact types, open the artifact and find the Snapshot menu. From there you can pull your work out as a downloadable file.

  • Open the artifact you want to export.
  • Open its Snapshot menu.
  • Pick the format you want.
  • Save the file to your device.

Some types (Audio and Video) use their own dedicated Export dialog instead of a one-tap download — see below.

Formats by artifact type ​

Each artifact type exports to the formats that make sense for it:

  • Image — PNG.
  • Video — MP4. Video uses an Export dialog that kicks off a server render rather than an instant download. Start the export, wait for it to finish, then download the finished MP4.
  • Document — DOCX, PPTX, PDF, PNG, HTML, Markdown, or Text. Choose whichever fits where the document is headed next.
  • Audio — Audio has its own Export dialog with WAV, MP3, FLAC, Opus, MIDI, Stems, and Project. Use Stems to get separate tracks, MIDI for note data, or Project to keep an editable version.
  • App — download the source file directly so you can run or edit the code inside your App wherever you like.

When an export runs a server render ​

A few exports — Video, and some Audio and Document formats — are built on your device's behalf rather than handed to you instantly. For these:

  • Start the export and give it a moment to finish rendering.
  • A download link appears when the render is ready.

These links are temporary. After a short time, a render link can expire and stop working.

  • If a download link stops working, just re-export. Open the Snapshot or Export menu again, choose the same format, and a fresh link is generated.
  • Re-exporting always produces a current, valid link, so there's no need to rush a download — you can come back and export again whenever you need the file.

Quick tips ​

  • Match the format to the destination: PDF for sharing a Document as-is, DOCX or PPTX to keep editing it elsewhere, PNG for a flat image of any visual artifact.
  • For Audio you're remixing in another tool, export Stems or the Project rather than a single mixed-down file.
  • If an older download link has gone stale, re-export to get a working one — your artifact and all its saved versions stay intact.
