Publish, export, and share

Last updated on Sep 2, 2026

Learn how to share your Adobe Fresco artwork by publishing and exporting to different formats and surfaces.

Want to share your artwork on social media, or send it straight into another Creative Cloud app? You can do that directly from Adobe Fresco. Export your artwork as an image (PNG, JPG, PSD, PDF), a GIF or MP4 motion file, or a timelapse video, or send it to Illustrator or Premiere to keep working. You can also publish to Behance, share a link for comments and download, or email, message, and print your artwork directly from the app.
