# Export a Confluence diagram as PNG or SVG

To export a Capable diagram from Confluence as PNG or SVG, hover over it on the page and select **Maximize**, then select the download button and choose **PNG** or **SVG**. Choose **Source** for the diagram's own source file. For a quick copy, the **Download diagram** button on the page toolbar saves an SVG straight away.

## Before you start

* You only need to be able to view the diagram.
* Pick the format: SVG stays sharp at any size and keeps text as text; PNG goes anywhere that wants a plain image.

---

## Steps

1. Hover over the diagram on the page.
2. Select **Maximize** to open it full screen.
3. Select the download button, next to the share button at the top right.
4. Choose **SVG**, **PNG** or **Source**.
5. Save the file where you need it.

## What happens next

* The file is a snapshot. It does not change when the diagram does, so export again after edits.
* The page toolbar's **Download diagram** button gives an SVG for most languages, and a PNG for draw.io, where it reads **Download diagram as PNG**. It is not offered for Excalidraw, BPMN or DMN; use the full-screen view for those.

## If it does not work

* If only **Source** is listed, the picture could not be prepared at that moment. Reload the page and try again.
* To get diagrams into a PDF or Word export of the whole page, see [Diagrams in PDF and Word exports](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/diagrams-in-pdf-and-word-exports.html).
