# Publish – Export & Sharing

The Publish module enables exporting your artworks to various formats and sharing them with the world.

## Export Formats

| Format | Usage |
|--------|-------|
| **SVG** | Pen plotter, print |
| **PNG/JPEG** | Social media, web |
| **Video** | Animations, loops |
| **GIF** | Short animations |
| **Web Bundle** | Standalone website |

## SVG Export

For pen plotters and high-resolution print:

```typescript
import { SVGExporter } from '@carstennichte/cc-toolbox';

const exporter = new SVGExporter({
  width: 297,      // mm (A4)
  height: 210,
  unit: 'mm',
  precision: 3
});

exporter.export(artwork, 'output.svg');

Plotter Optimization

exporter.optimize({
  sortPaths: true,        // Minimizes travel distance
  mergePaths: true,       // Connects contiguous paths
  removeDuplicates: true  // Removes duplicate lines
});

Video Export

For animations:

import { VideoExporter } from '@carstennichte/cc-toolbox';

const exporter = new VideoExporter({
  fps: 60,
  duration: 10,        // Seconds
  codec: 'h264',
  quality: 'high'
});

await exporter.export(artwork, 'output.mp4');
