Publish locally

Publish dialog settings

• Name: Specify the name for the .zip file or folder for the document and supporting files. By default Google Web Designer uses the same name you specified for the HTML file when you created the file.

• Location: Choose the location where you want to save the .zip file or folder. You can enter the path to the location, or click the folder  icon to browse your file system.

• Size: For responsive layouts, you can select the Export sizes individually checkbox to generate published files separately for each selected size in the dropdown.

• Select or deselect the following publishing options. Some options may be unavailable for your document type:

  • Flatten Files - Places all files into a single folder. (Selected automatically for ads.)
  • Create Zip - Compresses all files into a single .zip file.
  • Inline local files - Places the JavaScript and CSS within the HTML file, rather than in external files. (Selected automatically for AMPHTML ads.)
  • Minify - Compresses the source code for a smaller file size.
  • Polite Loading - Delays the loading of assets until the hosting page finishes its initial load. (Unavailable for AMPHTML ads.)
  • Add Border - Adds a one-pixel border, using the color you specify. (Unavailable for AMPHTML ads.)

• CSS Prefix: Select which CSS prefixes you want to include in the file. By default, all are selected to provide the widest range of browser compatibility.

Once the settings are complete, click Publish.

After publishing, you can share the resulting .zip file or folder, or upload it to an ad platform such as Google Ads or to a web host.
