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.
The export uses that theme’s colours throughout: each node’s and edge’s light or dark values, and in dark mode the white shadow halo around shadowed nodes.
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.
