Export your current map view as an image or PDF via **Felt > File > Export as image...**, or press **Cmd+Shift+E** (Mac) / **Ctrl+Shift+E** (Windows). This opens the Export as image dialog, which shows a live preview of exactly what will be exported.
## Frame the export Drag inside the preview to pan the map, and use the zoom controls that appear in its corner to zoom in or out — the preview always shows exactly what the exported file will contain. If the map is rotated, a compass button appears so you can reset it to north. ## Set the size and resolution * **Width** and **Height** set the exported image's dimensions in pixels (from 96 to 9,600 px each). They're independent of each other, and changing them resizes the canvas without changing the map's zoom level — you see more or less of the map, the way resizing a window does, rather than zooming in or out of it. * **Resolution** sets how many image pixels are rendered for each pixel of the canvas — **1×**, **2×**, **3×**, or **4×** (2×, matching a retina screen, by default). It doesn't change what the preview shows or the canvas size, only how sharp the file comes out: a 1,000 px canvas at 2× resolution exports as a 2,000 px image. The exported file's pixel dimensions are shown under these controls, along with a warning if something will come through differently than expected — for example, if the requested size is larger than the possible maximum. ## Choose a format * **PNG** — lossless image quality. The default. * **JPG** — smaller file size, with a Quality slider (0–100%, 90% by default) to trade off file size against image quality. * **PDF** — the same image, delivered in a PDF file. ## Include a legend and scale bar Toggle on the Legend to add a legend card to the export (this option is only available if your map has a legend to show). Once it's on, drag the card in the preview to move it or drag its edges to resize it, and use these toggles to control what's in it: * **Map title** and **Description** — the map's title and description, shown above the legend. * **Components** — any dashboard components on the map, shown under their layers in the legend. Turn on **Scale bar** to show a scale bar over the map, in the bottom-left corner. Every export also includes a small Felt logo and the map's data attribution in the bottom-left corner — the same credit shown on a shared map embed. ## Export Click **Export** to render and download the file, named after your map's title. Keep the browser tab open and visible until the download finishes. To lay out a page instead of a single view — several map views at different extents, a locator, text, and images at a page size and DPI you choose — use [Print layouts](/export-and-print/print-layouts.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.felt.com/export-and-print/export-an-image-or-pdf.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
