Questions
What size is the thumbnail?
1280 × 720 pixels (16:9). Export at 1× for the exact size or 2× for extra sharpness; JPG keeps files small.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The editor, your photos and every export run in your browser. An unfinished project is kept for recovery on this device only, and “Save project” downloads a file you control.
