Farkitect
🤷

Forgive us! These docs are a work in progress. Some pages may be incomplete or describe features that aren't quite finished yet. Farkitect is in early development and we don't recommend using it for real work just yet. Feel free to explore — just be aware that things are still being built.

How to export a diagram

You can export the diagram you’re currently viewing as an image or PDF, or copy it straight to the clipboard to paste into another app. (To export the model itself, see Export a package.)

Export to a file

Section titled “Export to a file”

With a diagram open, use either:

  • File menu — Export Diagram as PNG…, Export Diagram as SVG…, or Export Diagram as PDF…
  • Diagram toolbar — the Share button, then Export as PNG / SVG / PDF

Choose where to save the file. PNG is best for quick sharing, SVG for crisp scalable vector output, and PDF for documents.

Copy to the clipboard

Section titled “Copy to the clipboard”

To paste a diagram directly into a document, email, or chat:

  • File > Copy Diagram to Clipboard (Ctrl+Shift+C / Cmd+Shift+C), or
  • Share > Copy to clipboard in the diagram toolbar

Control the export theme

Section titled “Control the export theme”

Exports use the diagram’s current theme. The diagram toolbar has a theme override button that switches this diagram between light and dark independently of the app theme — handy when your app is in dark mode but you want a light export for a printed document. The override is remembered per diagram.

Integrity check before export

Section titled “Integrity check before export”

Before an export, Farkitect runs a quick integrity check. If the model has unresolved integrity errors, it asks whether you want to export anyway — it never blocks the export outright, so you can still export a model that needs repair (for example, to inspect or fix it elsewhere). See Integrity checker.
