Exporting Your Video

Export Overview

When you're happy with your edit, click the orange Export button in the top-right corner of the editor to open the export settings page.

Export Settings

Platform Presets

Choose a preset optimized for your target platform:

Format

All exports use MP4 (H.264 + AAC) — the most widely compatible format across all platforms and devices.

Resolution

Choose from the dropdown:

• 720p (HD) — smaller file, faster export
• 1080p (Full HD) — recommended for most uses
• 4K (Ultra HD) — highest quality, larger file

Aspect Ratio

Four options: 16:9 (landscape), 9:16 (vertical), 1:1 (square), 4:5 (portrait).

When changing from landscape to vertical, Toast uses face tracking to intelligently crop and follow the speaker.

Audio Options

• Audio quality: 128 kbps AAC
• Audio crossfade: Smooth transitions at cut points (enabled by default)

Caption Options

• Burn-in captions: Toggle to render captions permanently into the video
• Caption style: Choose from 10 styles (Toast, Hormozi Bold, MrBeast Pop, etc.)

How Export Works

Export happens entirely in your browser using WebCodecs:

1. Toast reads the edit manifest and source video from OPFS
2. Frames are decoded, effects are applied via WebGPU, and captions are rendered
3. The output is encoded to H.264 and muxed into an MP4 container
4. The final file is downloaded to your computer

No server involved — your video never leaves your device, even during export.

Export Time

Typical export times depend on resolution and video length:

Times vary based on your device's GPU and CPU capabilities.
