How do I publish my work and share it?
There are two different things you can do with a finished piece, and PrismPoster keeps them separate. You can share the file: hand the image, clip or song straight to another app from your phone, which needs nothing published. Or you can publish it, which gives it a public page and a link, and lists it on your @username profile. Neither happens on its own. Your work is private by default and stays in your Library until you act.
Sharing the file from a phone
Open the piece in your Library, or on the result screen right after it finishes, and tap Share. On a phone the first option is Share to apps. It opens your phone's own share sheet with the actual file attached, so Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Messages and every other app that accepts media appear exactly as they do for a photo from your camera roll. The file goes from your device to the app you chose. Nothing is published, and nothing about the piece becomes visible on PrismPoster.
If a clip is very large, the share sheet may decline it; PrismPoster then downloads the file to your device instead, and you can share it from there.
Publishing to get a page and a link
Publishing is what creates a public page for a piece and adds it to your profile:
- Finish a piece in a studio (Image Studio, Video Studio, the timeline editor, or Music Studio).
- The piece sits privately in your Library.
- Choose Publish, or choose Share and then "Make it public to get a link". Confirm the community terms the first time.
Only approved, eligible work is shown publicly. Publishing is available on the paid plans (Creator and above); on the Free plan you can generate everything and share the file, but your work stays out of the public surfaces.
Publishing your first piece also activates your public @username profile page, which lists your published work. This happens once, as a side effect of your first publish. Everything you never publish stays private.
Once a piece is published, the Share sheet offers Send the link (your phone's share sheet with the link), Copy link, and Share on X. On a computer it also offers a QR code for moving the link to a phone.
A published track appears on your profile, where a shared link opens with that track ready to play.
Every published item keeps its embedded provenance metadata. That disclosure is never stripped when a piece goes public. See why content is labelled.
Can I keep something private after I make it?
Yes, that is the default. If you do nothing, your work stays private. You can use every studio, build a full Library, share files from your phone and export finished files without anything ever getting a public page. To take a published piece back, open its page and choose Unpublish. For the full boundary, read public vs private and keeping generations private.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does sharing to Instagram or TikTok publish my work on PrismPoster?
No. Sharing the file hands the bytes to the app you picked and changes nothing on PrismPoster. Only Publish creates a public page.
Will publishing one piece publish my whole Library?
No. Publishing is per piece. Making one image or track public does not expose anything else in your Library. Your first publish does, though, activate your public @username profile page, which lists the work you have published.
Can I publish on the Free plan?
Publishing is a paid-plan feature, Creator and above. On Free you can use every studio, export your work and share files from your phone; a public page comes with a paid plan.
Does publishing post my work to social media?
No. PrismPoster does not post, schedule, or auto-publish to platforms like X, Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn. Publishing creates a page on PrismPoster; sharing to another app is always your own tap in your phone's share sheet.
