6 Export & Publish
For a maker, the end point isn't a picture — it's a file the machine can run. This section covers what to check before exporting, where to export from, and how to publish your work to the Atomm community.
6.1 Export options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Open in xTool Studio | Go straight into xTool Studio to set processing parameters and connect the machine. Recommended for most workflows |
| Download | Save the file locally for other compatible laser or print software |
6.2 Publish to the Atomm community
Publish a finished design to the Atomm community and earn 1 credit every time someone uses it.
You can publish from three places: the publish icon at the top-right of a result card in AI chat, Publish to earn in the canvas right-click menu, and Publish to earn in the Export menu at the bottom right.
- Click any of them to open the Publish to Earn form
- Title, description, category, and tags are pre-filled from the image — give them a quick check
- Click Publish
Once published, you get a share link and share buttons for social platforms.
💡 The success page also offers Create a shareable video: with one click your design becomes a short shareable clip showing the prompt, the design, and the finished piece in turn — far more inviting than a single image.
