# Download a diagram from a Jira issue

To download a diagram from a Jira issue, open the issue and download the diagram's file from its attachments, the same way as any other attachment. Each diagram is stored as a file named after its title, with an extension for its type such as .mermaid, .drawio or .bpmn. The app has no separate export or PNG download button.

---

## Before you start

* You can view the issue and its attachments.
* Know the diagram's title. The attachment is named after it.

---

## Steps

1. Open the issue.
2. Go to the issue's attachments.
3. Find the file named after the diagram's title, with a diagram extension such as .mermaid or .drawio.
4. Download it.

## What happens next

* You have the diagram's source, which opens in any tool that reads that format, for example draw.io for a .drawio file.
* For a picture rather than the source, open the diagram in that tool and export it there, or bring it into Capable Diagrams for Confluence, which can export PNG and SVG.

## If it does not work

* Two attachments share a name: see [Two diagrams on an issue have the same name and are hard to tell apart](https://help.gocapable.com/jira-diagrams/two-diagrams-on-an-issue-have-the-same-name-and-are-hard-to-tell-apart.html).
* More on why there is no export button: [There is no way to download or export a diagram from the app](https://help.gocapable.com/jira-diagrams/there-is-no-way-to-download-or-export-a-diagram-from-the-app-and-diagrams-do-not-appear-in-issue-ex.html).
