Sign in to use LINK

The LINK canvas runs on your tenant — generations, signing and Drive saves all need an authenticated session. Open LINK from your Settings page (or sign in) to continue.

DESKTOP

Editing in LINK desktop app

Your changes are auto-saved in the desktop app. When you're done, click Resume below and this tab will reload from the latest save.

Cancel — keep editing here instead

Drag from palette to add nodes (or press Tab for quick-create). Drag from an output port (right side, coloured by channel type) to an input port (left side) to connect. Multi-port nodes like merge show port labels (fg / bg / mask). Click a node + Delete to remove. Shift+click adds to selection; drag on empty canvas marquee-selects (Shift = additive); Cmd/Ctrl+A selects all. Cmd/Ctrl+drag a node extracts it from its chain. Alt+drag (or middle-mouse) to pan, scroll to zoom, right-click for grid + layout. Load example populates a real comp graph. Run graph dispatches what's on the canvas.

LINK Local Worker

Run comp on your own machine — multi-channel EXR never leaves your disk.

1 Start the worker in a terminal:

python3 -m workers.link_comp.local_agent

2 Paste the token it prints (just once — it's saved, then this panel auto-reconnects):

Advanced

Agent URL — only change this if you set LINK_LOCAL_PORT.

A true one-click start (no terminal) ships with the LINK desktop app.
