To publish a project, use the Menu►Project►Export option.

Construct 3 allows you to


export to a range of platforms, such as the web (HTML5), Android and iOS (via
Cordova), desktop apps (via NW.js) and Windows UWP (Universal Windows Platform)
apps. Each platform has an accompanying tutorial to guide you through how the
exporter works and covering any exporter-specific settings. Note in some cases fees
may be involved, such as for developer subscriptions to allow uploading to app stores,
or for hosting web content if you don't already have a server.

Every kind of export has three common settings:

Each option helps optimise the exported project, but can make the export take longer.
It is recommended to enable all three when exporting the final finished project for
publishing. However if you are simply doing a trial export, you may wish to disable
them to speed up the process.

Most exporters will prompt you for additional settings specific to that exporter. For
example the Android exporter has a setting for the minimum supported Android
version.

When the export finishes, you will be provided with a link to download a zip file
containing the final exported project. You can also view some statistics about the
export, such as how much download size was saved by image recompression (if it
was enabled). The Export Manager can also be used to find the last few exported
projects and download them again.

More information about publishing


The publishing process is different depending on the chosen export option.
The Tutorials section has guides to help you export to each platform. Here are some
to get you started:

SYSTEMREQUIREMENTS

These are the minimum system requirements for Construct 3 to run.

Internet connection
Construct 3 can work offline. However you must be online to load Construct 3 for the
first time. When you load Construct 3 for the first time, wait until you see a notification
in the corner indicating Construct 3 is ready to work offline. Then you can use
Construct 3 without an Internet connection.
Note that if you purchase a subscription and work offline, you must start Construct 3
while connected to the Internet at least once every 7 days to re-validate your
subscription. However if you have not purchased a subscription, you can use
Construct 3 offline permanently.

Supported browsers
Construct 3 should run in any modern browser. This includes:
 G oo g le Ch ro me   5 7+
o O th e r b ro wse rs t ha t use th e Ch ro me b ro wse r e ng ine (Ch ro miu m), su ch as   O pe ra   a nd   Y an de x , p ro vid in g t he y a re u pd at ed t o Ch ro miu m 5 7+
 Fire f o x   55 +
 S af a ri   1 2+
 Micro so f t Ed ge   7 9+

Construct 3 does not support Internet Explorer. However in Windows 10 Microsoft


replaced Internet Explorer with the Edge browser, which is supported from version
79+. (Note the modern Chromium-based Microsoft Edge is supported, but the legacy
Edge is not supported.)

Supported operating systems


Construct 3 should run on any system with a modern browser. This includes:
 Win d o ws:   Win do ws 7 , Win d o ws 8, Win do ws 8 .1 , Wind o ws 1 0 o r ne we r
 Ma c:   OS X / ma cOS 10 .9 o r ne we r

WebGL support
Construct 3 requires the browser to support WebGL, which is a modern high-
performance graphics technology for browsers. Almost all modern devices support
WebGL. However if you see a message about WebGL not being supported, try
installing any available system updates, and check your graphics drivers are up-to-
date.
