Exporting Models

Export the open model from the Export menu in the editor toolbar.

The Export menu in the editor

Format Best for
PNG image Pasting into slides, chat, or documents.
SVG image Web pages and print - scales without losing sharpness.
PDF Sharing a printable copy.
Visio Continuing work in Microsoft Visio.
Markdown docs A written description of the process, ready to drop into a document or wiki.
BPMN (.bpmn) The standard BPMN file, for use in other BPMN tools or to import back into BPM Studio.

Choosing a format downloads the file through your browser; the model itself is unchanged.

Tips

  • Export reflects the model as it currently looks on the canvas - run Arrange or tidy the arrangement first if the export is going into a document.
  • For the sharpest result in printed material, prefer SVG or PDF over PNG.
