Exporting and Sharing Your Art from QueekyPaint: Step-by-Step
1. Prepare your artwork
- Final check: zoom in to inspect lines, colors, and edges.
- Flatten layers (optional): merge visible layers if you don’t need separate layer files.
2. Choose export format
- PNG: best for lossless raster images with transparency.
- JPEG: smaller files for photos or non-transparent images; choose quality 70–90%.
- GIF/WebP: for simple animations or smaller sizes (WebP preferred if supported).
- MP4 (if available): for speedpaint/recorded timelapse video exports.
3. Export steps (typical in QueekyPaint)
- Open the menu (usually top-right or in the canvas toolbar).
- Select “Export” or “Save as.”
- Pick format (PNG/JPEG/WebP/MP4).
- Set options: resolution, quality, background (transparent or filled), and frame rate (for video).
- Tap/Click “Export” or “Download.” The file will save to your device’s Downloads folder or prompt for location.
4. Resize and optimize (if needed)
- Use a lightweight image optimizer (e.g., TinyPNG, Squoosh) to reduce PNG/JPEG size.
- For social shares, resize to platform-recommended dimensions (Instagram: 1080×1080/1080×1350; Twitter: 1200×675).
5. Create a speedpaint/timelapse (if your project has recorded layers)
- If QueekyPaint provides an internal timelapse export, choose MP4 and export at 24–30 fps.
- If not, export sequential PNG frames (if available) and convert to video with a free tool (e.g., FFmpeg, Kapwing).
6. Share to platforms
- Social media: upload exported image/video directly from your device. Include caption, tags, and credits.
- Art communities (DeviantArt, ArtStation, Behance): use PNG/JPEG for images; MP4 or GIF for timelapses. Add description, tags, and process notes.
- Messaging/email: attach the exported file; consider lower-resolution JPEG for smaller attachments.
- Cloud links: upload to Google Drive/Dropbox and share link for large files.
7. Preserve editable source
- Save a copy of your QueekyPaint project file (if the app supports project saves) or export layered file formats if available so you can edit later.
Troubleshooting
- Export button missing: update the app or refresh the page.
- Low-quality export: increase export resolution/quality settings.
- Transparent background shows black: ensure PNG export with transparency selected.
If you want, I can provide platform-specific export settings (Instagram/Twitter/Tumblr/YouTube) or a short FFmpeg command to turn frames into an MP4.
