Frequently asked questions

Which format is better, PNG or SVG?

Use PNG for slides and chats. Use SVG for print or editing, because it scales to any size without blur and can be changed in a vector editor.

How do I write dates for the timeline?

Use a consistent format, such as year only for history or a full date for projects. Mixed formats can put events in the wrong order, so check the preview.

How many events fit on one timeline?

A vertical timeline can hold many, but readability drops past a couple of dozen. Keep titles short, and split a long story into several timelines by period.
