# Export

Diagrams are not only for the screen. They have to survive being exported, printed and sent to somebody without Confluence.

---

## What is covered

* **Export a diagram.** Single diagrams as SVG or PNG, and when to choose which.
* **Diagrams in PDF and Word exports.** What renders, at what quality, and the known gaps.

📝

**Exports use the stored thumbnail, not a live render.** That is why an export works even when a renderer is unreachable, and why a very recently edited diagram can export its previous look. See [How diagrams work](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/overview.html).
