# Export

> PNG, SVG and CSV downloads and a data table, with no key or watermark.

Source: https://82chart.com/en/docs/export/

The download button at the top right of the card saves a PNG; the ⋯ menu offers PNG, SVG, CSV and the data table (`exporting: false` hides them). The same is available from code.

```js
const chart = createChart('#chart', {
  type: 'bar',
  title: 'Orders by region',
  data: {
    labels: ['Seoul', 'Gyeonggi', 'Busan', 'Daegu', 'Incheon', 'Gwangju'],
    series: [{ name: 'Orders', data: [4820, 3910, 1640, 1120, 1080, 760] }],
  },
});
log(chart.toCSV());
```

| Method | Returns |
| --- | --- |
| `chart.toPNG(scale = 2)` | `Promise<Blob>`, a 2× PNG for sharp screens |
| `chart.toSVG()` | A self-contained SVG string with colors resolved (title, legend and annotations included) |
| `chart.toCSV()` | A CSV string with raw numbers (no units), ready to sum in a spreadsheet |
| `chart.download('png' \| 'svg' \| 'csv', filename?)` | Save a file; the title is the default name |

- The CSV opens straight in Excel: a BOM so Korean text reads correctly, a header row (the first column is `xAxis.title`, or "Label"), dates as local `2026-10-21` (`2026-10-21 09:30` when there are times of day) in `timeZone`, and raw numbers without units, ready to sum.
- Cells starting with `=`, `+` or `@` are escaped so they never run as formulas.
- `table: true` shows the data table under the chart from the start; it is always there for screen readers.
- Buttons and tooltips are hidden when printing.

```js
// a PNG for a report e-mail
const blob = await chart.toPNG(2);
const form = new FormData();
form.append('file', blob, 'sales.png');
await fetch('/api/report', { method: 'POST', body: form });
```
