### Exporting the whole map as a JPG or PNG

1\. **Open** the Mind Map that you wish to export.

2\. Click on the **Export** icon in the top toolbar.

3\.   Depending on your preference, choose the **JPG** or **PNG** export.

\*when choosing **Include branch icons** the icons will be shown on branches only as images

 

4\.  Once exported you will have the option to **Open** the image and save it to your preferred location.

![Export completed window.](https://support.ayoa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_15-png-Jul-11-2023-02-56-48-5107-PM.png?width=400&height=117&name=Screenshot_15-png-Jul-11-2023-02-56-48-5107-PM.png)

*Please note: occasionally exports may be affected by connection interruptions between AYOA and AI tools. Often this is resolved by the time you retry, however for persistent issues please contact support@ayoa.com*

 

5\. The whole map will be included in the image. Below is an example ( this image has been scaled down to fit the page).

### Exporting Branches as an Image

You also have the option of exporting an individual branch as an image, or exporting a branch and all of its children. 

1\. To export an individual branch as an image, right-click on the **branch** to open the **context menu**.

![Context menu on the branch.](https://support.ayoa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_6-png-May-22-2024-10-38-34-1955-AM.png?width=250&height=460&name=Screenshot_6-png-May-22-2024-10-38-34-1955-AM.png)

 

2\. Then go to **Export** section.

![Context menu with the Export section highlighted.](https://support.ayoa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_7-png-May-22-2024-10-38-54-7963-AM.png?width=200&height=566&name=Screenshot_7-png-May-22-2024-10-38-54-7963-AM.png)

 

3\. You can export branch as a **PNG, JPG or PDF**. You can also choose to include all the children branches of the branch you have selected in the image. If you only want to export that one branch, untick **Include Children**.

 

![Export options for the chosen branch.](https://support.ayoa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_6-png-Mar-21-2024-01-28-48-4840-PM.png?width=500&height=259&name=Screenshot_6-png-Mar-21-2024-01-28-48-4840-PM.png)

 

\*when choosing  **Include branch icons** the icons will be shown on branches only as images

 

4\. Below is an example of a JPG export that included the children of the branch I had selected.

5\. With the **PDF** export, there will be an option to export the branch as a PDF image or PDF document. The PDF image export doesn't include the child branches.

![Export option with selected PDF.](https://support.ayoa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_7-png-Mar-21-2024-01-29-33-4594-PM.png?width=500&height=294&name=Screenshot_7-png-Mar-21-2024-01-29-33-4594-PM.png)
