# Saving Preset Icons

The most common use case for running MixEffect and Companion is to run SuperSource presets from a Stream Deck. MixEffect makes it easy to download a thumbnail of a preset that you can upload to Companion.

1. From the **MixEffect Home**, tap **SuperSource**.
2. Tap **View All** in the upper-right.
3. Long-press on the desired preset.
4. In the menu that appears, tap **Save Preset Icon**.
5. Choose **Companion (73x41)**.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for other presets.

If you are using this feature for the first time, a prompt from iOS will appear asking you for permission to access your Photos Library. If you décline permission, you must enable it in iOS Settings > MixEffect > Photos > Add Photos Only.

After a moment, the thumbnail will be saved to your Photos Library.

1. Go to **Photos**.
2. Select the preset thumbnail or thumbnails.
3. Tap **Share**.
4. Send the file to your computer running Companion. AirDrop works great.
5. Add the thumbnail to your buttons in Companion.

You can also export multiple preset thumbnails at a time by going into List mode on the View All Presets page:

1. Tap **Edit**.
2. Select the **presets** you wish to export.
3. Tap the **photo icon** in the export bar.
4. Choose your export size.

After a few moments, your thumbnails will have been added to your Photo Library.
