# Exporting & Downloads

> Download assets from the canvas and render finished videos from Studio.

export const DemoVideo = ({src, poster, caption, aspectRatio = "16 / 10", className = ""}) => {
  return <figure className={`not-prose my-6 w-full ${className}`}>
      <div className="overflow-hidden rounded-2xl border border-gray-950/10 bg-gray-100 dark:border-white/10 dark:bg-white/5" style={{
    aspectRatio
  }}>
        <video src={src} poster={poster} loop autoPlay muted playsInline className="h-full w-full object-cover" />
      </div>
      {caption && <figcaption className="mt-2 text-center text-sm text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400">
          {caption}
        </figcaption>}
    </figure>;
};

There are two ways to get work out of Flowy: download an individual asset straight from a canvas node, or render a finished composition from **Studio**. Both produce standard files you can use anywhere.

## Download an asset from the canvas

Use this when you want one generated image, clip, or audio file.

1. Select the node that holds the asset.
2. Choose **Download** from the node's menu.

For image and SVG content, the download row becomes an **Export as…** menu so you can pick the format — **SVG** (original), **PNG**, or **JPG**. Vector nodes can also **Rasterize** into a connected image node when you need a pixel version on the canvas.

## Export a video from Studio

Use this when you want a finished, composed video rather than a single asset. Arrange your clips on the [Studio timeline](/studio/timeline), then render the whole composition:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the export panel">
    With your composition open in **Studio**, choose **Export**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose resolution and format">
    Pick the output resolution and settings that fit where the video is headed. Higher resolutions look sharper but take longer to render.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Render and download">
    Start the render, then download the finished file when it's ready. The [export guide](/studio/export) covers every option.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Keep the project open while a render runs — closing it before the video is ready can interrupt the export.
</Warning>

## Formats

Studio renders video as **MP4** (H.264 or H.265) or **MOV** (ProRes), with a quality setting to trade file size against fidelity. Compositions that contain only audio export as a single **MP3** or **WAV** file.

## Plan-gated render quality

Your workspace plan sets the **maximum export resolution**: Free workspaces export up to **720p**, Lite up to **1080p**, and Pro and Ultra unlock the highest available quality. If you queue an export above your plan's ceiling, Flowy clamps it to the maximum your plan allows and lets you know. Compare limits on [plans & pricing](/billing/plans).

<Note>
  A render taking a while is usually expected — longer compositions at higher resolutions take the most time. If one stalls or fails, retry it, then check [troubleshooting](/help/troubleshooting).
