Is my work saved automatically? Can I download a PDF?
Yes. Your edits are saved automatically in this browser (IndexedDB), so after a refresh or closing the tab you can pick up where you left off with the Continue button. Up to 5 recent drafts are kept per tool, and nothing is sent to a server. Clearing your browser data deletes them, so also keep important work with Save project (.json). Besides PNG, JPG and SVG, you can save WebP, a PDF at the canvas size (all pages in one file) or a print-ready A4 300 DPI PDF.
