# Exporting Slideshows

> Export your slideshows as videos for any platform.

## Export Options

When you're ready to export, click the **Export** button to create a video file from your slideshow.

## Video Formats

Choose the aspect ratio that matches your target platform:

| Aspect Ratio         | Dimensions | Best For                                |
| -------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **9:16 (Portrait)**  | 1080x1920  | TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts |
| **16:9 (Landscape)** | 1920x1080  | YouTube, Facebook Videos                |
| **1:1 (Square)**     | 1080x1080  | Instagram Feed, Facebook Feed           |

<Tip>
  When in doubt, go with 9:16 (Portrait). It's the most versatile format and works well on all major short-form video platforms.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Export is taking too long">
    Exports typically complete in under 30 seconds. If it's taking longer:

    * Check your internet connection
    * Try refreshing the page and exporting again
    * Contact support if the issue persists
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Video quality looks low">
    Ensure you're using high-resolution source images (at least 1080x1080). The export quality depends on your input images.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Text is cut off">
    Some platforms add UI elements over videos. Keep important text away from edges and the bottom 20% of the frame.
