Graphics Files

Each graphics file consists of:

  • The graphic scene: The visual representation of your design.
  • Metadata: File information such as title, description, and tags.

Metadata fields

  • Title: The name of the file.
  • Description: A short summary visible in the Editor and Gallery.
  • Tags: Keywords used for searching.
  • Workspace: The file’s storage location.
  • Final Flag: “Locks” the file to prevent further edits. To modify, duplicate or unlock it.
  • Thumbnail: A preview image in the Gallery.

TL;DR

  • Graphics files contain a scene (visual content) and metadata (title, description, tags, workspace).
  • Tweenly does not auto-save — save manually with Save or Cmd/Ctrl + S.
  • Clear removes objects but keeps metadata. Delete removes the file permanently.
  • Export as Package (ZIP, offline) or HTML (lightweight, requires internet).
