## Download as PNG or PDF
## Download as PNG, PDF, or CSV {#download-as-png-or-pdf}

Open a published dashboard, click the **More actions** (`⋯`) button in the
header, and choose **Download as PNG** or **Download as PDF**. The file is
named after the dashboard's title.

The download is a server-rendered snapshot — Cube re-opens the dashboard,
waits for every widget to finish rendering, and captures the result. This
can take up to a couple of minutes for large dashboards. Filter or time
grain selections you change in your browser before clicking **Download**
are not applied; the snapshot uses the dashboard's saved state.

Available to users with **Manage** permission on the workbook that owns
the dashboard. The same screenshot mechanism powers PNG/PDF attachments on
[notifications][ref-notifications] sent after a [scheduled
refresh][ref-scheduled-refreshes].
To export a **single chart** instead of the whole dashboard, hover the chart
widget, open its **⋮** menu, and choose **Download as PNG** or **Download as
PDF** — the same menu also offers **Download as CSV** for the chart's
underlying data. The image captures just that chart, named after the chart's
title.

PNG and PDF downloads are server-rendered snapshots — Cube re-opens the
dashboard (or, for a single chart, that chart on its own), waits for rendering
to finish, and captures the result. This can take up to a couple of minutes
for large dashboards. The filter and time-grain selections you currently have
applied in your browser are carried into the export. (CSV is generated from the
data already loaded in the chart and downloads immediately.)

Downloading the whole dashboard requires **Manage** permission on the workbook
that owns it; exporting a single chart requires the **Download data**
permission. Both are hidden entirely when an admin turns off the account-wide
[data download controls][ref-data-download-controls]. The same screenshot
mechanism powers PNG/PDF attachments on [notifications][ref-notifications] sent
after a [scheduled refresh][ref-scheduled-refreshes].
