Image export

Exporting the graph view as a static image (PNG or SVG).

Image export renders the graph view as a static image. The exported image captures the current zoom, pan, and filter state of the graph at the time of export.

Image formats

Tree supports two image formats:

  • PNG: raster image, fixed resolution, good for sharing in chat or embedding in documents
  • SVG: vector image, scalable to any resolution, good for high-quality printing or further editing in design tools

Both formats preserve the visual styling of the graph: node colors, edge directions, fog of war state, and any active filters.

What's captured

The exported image shows:

  • All visible nodes at their current canvas positions
  • All visible edges with their styling
  • Active filters and fog of war as they appear on screen
  • Saved view configuration if one is active

The image does not include hover states, interactive elements, or anything that requires interaction to see.

When to use image export

Image export is the right format for:

  • Embedding the graph in a document or presentation
  • Sharing a visual snapshot in a chat or social post
  • Including the graph in a blog post or article
  • Visual archiving of the project's shape at a specific moment

For the underlying data, use JSON or Markdown export. For a comprehensive document, use PDF export.

Tier availability

Image export is part of the core feature set, available on Free, Paid, and Team.
