# Export

> Export your canvas to high-resolution PDF or PNG for presentations and handoff.

When you need a file rather than a link, export your canvas to a high-resolution PDF or PNG. This is ideal for client presentations, decks, and offline handoff.

## Export the canvas

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the export dialog">
    From the project, open the export option.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a format">
    Pick PDF or PNG.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set options">
    Adjust quality and background, and choose whether to include connectors and comments.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export">
    BenchCanvas generates a high-resolution file for download.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## PDF or PNG

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="PDF" icon="file-pdf">
    Recommended for canvases with lots of flows or screens. Keeps large maps crisp and easy to navigate.
  </Card>

  <Card title="PNG" icon="file-image">
    Best for a single high-resolution image to drop into a slide or doc.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Export options

* **Quality**: control the resolution of the output.
* **Background**: choose the background for the exported image.
* **Connectors**: include or hide the [connections](/canvas/connections) between screens.
* **Comments**: include or hide [comments](/collaborate/comments).

## Export a single screenshot

To export just one screen rather than the whole canvas, use the download or copy options in the [properties panel](/canvas/properties-panel). See [Screenshots](/canvas/screenshots).

## Export to Figma

To import frames, stickies, comments, and connectors into a Figma Design file, use [Export to Figma](/share/export-to-figma) and the [BenchCanvas Import](https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1664042421119551550) Figma plugin.

<Note>
  During the private beta, high-resolution PDF and PNG export is available on the Free plan. Removing branding from [share links](/share/share-links) is part of the paid plans. See [Plans](/plans).
