Duplicating a design on Abyssale is the fastest way to iterate on your work. Whether you need a simple copy, want to convert a static design into an animated one, or prepare a design for print output in CMYK, the duplication tool handles it in seconds.
Step-by-step guide
Head to the Project where your design is located.
Hover your mouse over the design thumbnail and click the three dots (...) in the top right corner.
Select Duplicate from the drop-down menu.
In the pop-up modal, give your new design a name (minimum 3 characters).
Choose your design type using the dropdown selector:
Keep as static design — Duplicate without changing the design type.
Convert to animated — Duplicate as an animated design.
Convert to multi-format print — Duplicate as a CMYK print design with multiple formats.
Convert to multi-page print — Duplicate as a CMYK print design with multiple pages.
If you selected a print conversion option, choose your size unit: Inches (IN) or Millimeters (MM).
Click Duplicate design to finish.
Converting a static design to print
When duplicating a static design as a print design, the following transformations are automatically applied:
Color conversion: All HEX colors are converted to CMYK. If a color has transparency, it is flattened by blending with a white background to ensure accurate print output.
Image handling:
JPEG images are converted to CMYK.
Transparent PNG/WebP images are converted to transparent CMYK TIFF for print generation (while remaining in RGB for front-end display).
Unit conversion: Pixel (px) dimensions are converted to physical units (inches or millimeters) at 300 DPI to ensure proper print sizing.
Effect cleanup: Unsupported print effects are removed: shadows, blur, shape patterns, and image overlays.
Gradients: Gradient colors are flattened into a single solid color (the first color stop is used).
SVG layers: HEX colors inside SVGs are converted to CMYK, then back to HEX for front-end display.
⚠️ Heads up: Styling options such as shadows, gradients, and more will be removed during conversion. Colors are converted to CMYK without ICC profile

Good to know: 🤔 For those wondering, duplicating a design does not consume any credits. Only generating the final image or video files uses your credit balance.
