There are a few ways to get renders out of Orshot, depending on whether you're in the Studio, the Playground, or the API.

## From Orshot Studio

While designing, **File → Download** exports what's on your canvas — handy for quick one-off exports:

Clicking it opens the download options — copy to clipboard or save the current page as **PNG**, **AVIF**, **PDF**, **HTML**, even **MP4** for animated templates:

## From the Playground

After [generating a render](https://orshot.com/help/generate-your-first-image), the **Preview** panel gives you the file directly — download it, or **copy the render URL** to use anywhere (the URL serves the generated file).

## From the API

Control the output with the `response` object in your render request:```json
{
  "templateId": "your-template-id",
  "modifications": { "title": "Hello" },
  "response": {
    "type": "url",
    "format": "png"
  }
}
```- **`type`** — `url` (hosted link), `base64` (inline data), or `binary` (raw file)
- **`format`** — `png`, `jpg`, `webp`, `avif`, `pdf` — plus `mp4`, `webm` and `gif` for video templates

See the full options in the [Image Generation](https://orshot.com/docs/image-generation), [PDF Generation](https://orshot.com/docs/pdf-generation), and [Video Generation](https://orshot.com/docs/video-generation) docs.

## Renders showing old content?

Orshot caches renders so they load fast. If you're seeing an outdated render after changing your template, see [Why are my renders not updating?](https://orshot.com/help/renders-not-updating-after-template-changes)
