Export and share

Choose the right output and understand what a share link contains.

PhysLoom computes and renders in the browser by default. Exporting an image, saving a project, and making a share link are three different actions.

Export an image

  • SVG is best for websites, articles, print, and later layout work. Text and lines remain vectors.
  • PNG is convenient for messages, screenshot-style delivery, and software that only accepts bitmaps.
  • Report keeps the diagram, model information, and diagnostics together for review.

Check the canvas width before export. A label that fits on a wide screen can wrap when placed in a narrow article column.

Save a project

A project file preserves the DSL and information required to rebuild the scene. It is for continued editing, not a replacement for the final image. Keep both the project and an SVG export for important work.

The current share link stores a compressed model in the URL instead of uploading it to a PhysLoom server first. Anyone with the complete link can open the model, so do not include secrets, personal information, or unpublished questions.

When the link is too long, send the project file instead. If hosted storage is added later, the documentation will name its location, retention period, and deletion route.

Use a diagram in an article

Prefer an exported SVG for ordinary articles and lessons. It does not require JavaScript and works well on the web, in print, and in later layout work. Use the Beta embed page only when readers need to play an animation.

The “Copy Markdown” button at the top of every documentation page copies clean Markdown, ready for notes, a repository, or another editor.
