How to download your featured images

Machined lets you export your featured images, allowing you to do any sort of processing on them and upload them wherever you need them.

Read below to learn how to download your featured images...

Do not download the featured image directly from the article preview!

The article preview uses a lower resolution version of your image that might have a loss in quality. Please follow the process below to generate the images correctly...

Open "Read mode"

After an article has been written, click on the "Read action button.

Input "Base URL"

Before you can copy/export your content, you need to provide a base url for your cluster articles.

The base url will be used to determine the location of all of the articles in the cluster, and is what helps us build the internal links between articles. It is important to provide the actual base url that the articles will have after publishing so that they can all reference each other correctly.

For example:

• Your website is https://caffeinated.club

• Your website uses the url structure https://caffeinated.club/[category]/[article-slug]

• You are working on a cluster called "latte art animals" with 3 articles:

  • "How to create a latte art elephant" with slug "latte-art-elephant"

  • "How to create a latte art zebra" with slug "latte-art-zebra"

  • "How to create a latte art cat" with slug "latte-art-cat"

• You intend to publish this cluster in a category called "coffee-art"

You would need to provide the base url: https://caffeinated.club/coffee-art

Machined would assume links for articles as follows:

• https://caffeinated.club/coffee-art/latte-art-elephant

• https://caffeinated.club/coffee-art/latte-art-zebra

• https://caffeinated.club/coffee-art/latte-art-cat

Click "Download Featured Image"

After you've provided a base url, the Copy button will become available - click on the "three dots" to expand the "Export" menu, click the "Download Featured Image" button

Your browser will download the featured image to your normal Downloads folder.
