- xml save file formats contain your full diagram, and can be opened in freedgo。

Export your diagram to an image
You can export the current drawing canvas to an image: PNG, JPEG or SVG. JPEG are most commonly used in web pages. PNG and SVG images are scalable (resizeable) and work well in documents and presentation slides.
Tip: When you export to a PNG or SVG image, you can choose to embed your diagram. When someone imports the image back into freedgo, they will be able to see your full diagram.
Select File > Export as then choose the image format you want to generate - PNG, JPEG, or SVG.
