The new Cloud Exporter for MapKnitter uses a cloud-based process to produce full-resolution exported images and map tiles from MapKnitter.org maps.

To use it, shift-drag or long-press (on tablets) the images you want to export, then press the "download" button in the upper left of the screen, as shown here:

Your export will appear under the Exports tab alongside previous exports.

Overview

From the Export tab, you can export a map in a variety of formats. If you've changed the map at all since last exporting, you can re-run the export and the previous export outputs will be saved. All formats are generated sequentially, so if you're waiting for a JPG you will have to let all the other formats complete first.

This may take some time - a large map could take as long as an hour or more. Closing the page will not stop the export.

Comparison to old MapKnitter

What is the same?

• Same: all previous formats are still exported

What are the differences?

• New: each export is now saved in a list, rather than overwriting previous exports
• New: you must select images in order to export
• New: exports run only on selected images, not all images
• New: where to find the “start export” button
