Export and share your video

A phone app standing upright on a dark blue backdrop.

Two ways to get your work out: save a video file, or send a live link.

Export a video file

Click Export and choose:

  • Format: MP4 for almost everything, since it has sound and plays anywhere. GIF for a short silent loop.
  • Resolution and frame rate: up to 1080p at 60 fps on the free plan; paid plans unlock 4K.
  • Quality: presets from Studio, the biggest and sharpest, down to Web, the smallest. Social Media is a safe default.
  • Scope: the entire timeline, or just the shot you have selected.

The panel shows a rough export time and file size as you change settings, so there are no surprises.

Where it lands

Every MP4 export does two things at once: the file downloads to your computer, and the video gets a share page with a link you can send instead of the file. The link is copied the moment the export finishes, and the video uploads in the background while you land on its page. Turn off "Open the link page when done" in the export dialog to stay in the editor instead.

The share page carries your name, a headline and your links, like a Linktree with your video in the middle. Free pages carry Raylight's look; paid plans set their own colors and swap the Made in Raylight block for a small credit, which Max can remove. GIFs only download.

The free plan keeps up to 100 videos on share pages at a time, each up to 250MB. Paid plans have no limit on how many, and take videos up to 500MB.

Free exports carry a small Made in Raylight badge in the corner. Any paid plan removes it from every export, or you can remove it from a single export with credits, no subscription needed.

Or share the project itself

The Share button gives you something different: a live link to the project. Anyone who opens it watches your scene play right in the browser, no account needed. Free on every plan, and the fastest way to show a client or post a work in progress.

The free plan at a glance

  • Build and share links without paying.
  • A share page for every MP4 export: up to 100 videos at a time, 250MB each.
  • Export: 1080p at 60 fps, unlimited video length, MP4 or GIF, with a small Made in Raylight badge.
  • Any paid plan removes the badge, unlocks 4K at 60 fps, and lets you put your own colors on the share page. Embedding a video on your own site is on Pro and Max. Credits can remove the badge from a single export without a subscription.
