Below are the supported filetypes in Tumult Hype. If you stick to the formats described below, your Tumult Hype site will work on the widest range of devices and browsers.
Images
Tumult Hype automatically converts images into web safe format. You can drop the following images into a scene: PSD, TIFF, SVG, PNG, JPG, GIF, ICO (and a few more image formats). PDF files will render as the first page, and will be converted to an image. If you'd like to link to a PDF, you'll need to link to it directly on the web. For images that have transparency (GIF + PNG), transparency will be maintained, and the image will be converted to PNG.
To use a SVG in Tumult Hype, simply drag it into your scene, or click Insert > Image and select it.

Video
- Mpeg-4 - An .mp4 encoded using the H264 codec. This is typically the only video format you need.
- OGV - In the .ogg container.
- Webm - .webm
Audio
We recommend using only MP3 and OGG (Ogg Theora) formats when creating an audio group. To create an audio group, click Insert > Audio and add your audio files. Tumult Hype also supports Wave files (.wav) but these are large files which tend to slow down websites. Read more about Audio here.
