Desktop workflow
Use the desktop app for local iRacing files. The downloadable app is the path for anything that needs your Windows file system or iRacing paint folders.
Local Paint Folders
Work with the file locations and naming conventions iRacing expects on your machine.
TGA Export
Export finished paint files for iRacing, sharing, backup, or manual handoff.
Push to iRacing
Write the active paint into the right local folder when you are ready to test it in the sim.
Local tools
What belongs on desktop. Keep the browser for quick Builder access. Use the Windows app when the workflow needs local files, exports, or activation.
Installed Car Support
Use downloaded car support and guide data where local installation matters.
Paint Activation
Move from an editable project to an active paint that can be checked in iRacing.
File-First Workflow
Keep the final output tied to the TGA and folder structure the simulator already uses.
