Export Images

InstaCharts lets you download your charts as image files you can use in presentations, reports, websites, emails, and print media. Charts can be exported in six formats: PNG, JPG, SVG, WebP, PDF, and PowerPoint.

To export an image, open the Export dialog from the main toolbar. The Export dialog is also accessible through the File menu.

Export Dialog

To export an image, click the Image tab inside the Export dialog.

Export Image

Select an image type from the dropdown. Six formats are available:

Format	Description	Best For
PNG	Raster image with transparent background support	Emails, slide decks, social media, web pages
JPG	Compressed raster image	Photos, web use where smaller file size matters
SVG	Scalable vector graphic - resolution independent	Print, large-format displays, web embedding, logo use
WebP	Modern compressed raster image	Web pages - smaller file size than PNG or JPG with good quality
PDF	Portable Document Format	Print-ready reports, sharing documents, archiving
PowerPoint	Microsoft PowerPoint slide (.pptx)	Inserting charts directly into presentations

Enter an optional file name for your download, then click Export. The file will be saved to your device.

Print

Click the Print button in the Export Image dialog to send your chart directly to your browser’s print dialog. This lets you print the chart or save it as a PDF using your operating system’s built-in print-to-PDF feature.

Choosing the Right Format

Choose PNG when:

• You are attaching the chart to an email or Slack message
• You are inserting the chart into Google Slides or Keynote
• You need a transparent background

Choose JPG when:

• File size matters and transparency is not needed
• You are uploading to a platform that does not support PNG or WebP

Choose SVG when:

• You need the chart to look sharp at any size (print, large screens, retina displays)
• You are embedding the chart on a website and want it to scale cleanly
• You are handing the file off to a designer

Choose WebP when:

• You are publishing the chart on a website and want the best balance of quality and file size
• The platform or browser you are targeting supports WebP (all modern browsers do)

Choose PDF when:

• You are building a print-ready report or document
• You need to archive or email a self-contained file that looks the same on any device

Choose PowerPoint when:

• You want to drop the chart straight into a PowerPoint presentation as an editable slide

Common Export Scenarios

• Slide presentation - Export as PowerPoint to insert a ready-made slide, or as PNG to paste into Google Slides or Keynote.
• Print report - Export as PDF or SVG for crisp, resolution-independent output at any print size.
• Email newsletter - Export as PNG or JPG and embed the image inline in your email.
• Website - Export as SVG or WebP for a sharp, lightweight chart image that loads fast on all devices.
• Client deliverable - Export as PDF for a polished, portable document the client can open anywhere.
