01

Ctrl+S saves the editable .zyggs project. Ctrl+Shift+S saves a copy. Older .inkolt and .acanim projects can also be opened.

02

File → Export offers PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, GIF, PNG sequences and MP4 depending on the edition and permissions.

03

PNG and PNG sequences support transparency. JPEG uses the canvas background. GIF uses a 256 color palette, so it cannot preserve every RGB shade.

04

MP4 uses H.264 and the project FPS, without audio or transparency. Odd dimensions receive an extra background row or column. Grid, selection, nodes, onion skin, drafts and guides are not exported.
