Wixel: Previewing, Downloading, and Sharing Your Project

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about sharing your project.
Does changing the image size affect the image quality?
Yes, resizing the image can impact its quality depending on the file format and how you resize it. Stretching small image files to larger sizes may result in a loss of quality.
Why don't I see a Share or Download option for my design?
Some asset types only support downloads and some only support sharing. For example, images can't be shared. You'll only see the relevant options available for the design you selected.
Where can I keep track of actions in my project?
When you take certain actions, like downloading assets, the Activity panel opens in your project. It tracks your current and recent activity, and suggests what to do next. For example, you can see which assets are downloading or were added to your connected site's Media Manager.
To open the panel, click or tap the Activity icon
at the top right of your project.
Note: The Activity panel closes after a few minutes if there are no active or recent actions.
What should I know about using AI-generated content?
Before using any AI-generated content, we recommend double-checking that you have the right to use it. Review the potential risks of using generative AI tools.
