The new Cloud Exporter for MapKnitter uses a cloud-based process to produce full-resolution exported images and map tiles from [MapKnitter.org](https://mapknitter.org) maps. To use it, shift-drag or long-press (on tablets) the images you want to export, then press the "download" button in the upper left of the screen, as shown here: ![cloud-export-gif](https://publiclab.org/mk-cloud-export.gif) Your export will appear under the Exports tab alongside previous exports. ## Overview From the Export tab, you can export a map in a variety of formats. If you've changed the map at all since last exporting, you can re-run the export and the previous export outputs will be saved. All formats are generated sequentially, so if you're waiting for a JPG you will have to let all the other formats complete first. This may take some time - a large map could take as long as **an hour or more**. Closing the page will not stop the export. ### Comparison to the previous export system **What is the same?** * Same: all previous formats are still exported **What are the differences?** * New: each export is now saved in a list, rather than overwriting previous exports * New: you must select images in order to export * New: exports run only on selected images, not all images * New: where to find the “start export” button ### Get Involved Please help provide feedback here: https://github.com/publiclab/mapknitter/issues/1244
