Export video and slides

Every output on the Publish step renders from the same chart definition as the preview. These are the formats and what each is for.

MP4 and GIF

For an animated chart, Generate MP4 renders the reveal frame by frame server-side. MP4 suits presentations, social video, and anywhere with a video player. GIF renders the same frames as an autoplaying loop for the places MP4 does not play inline: Slack, docs, email. GIF files are larger with a smaller color range, so smooth color ramps come out better as MP4.

Video rendering is included on Starter. Animations run up to five minutes; Business accounts render at 4K and take priority in the render queue.

PNG and SVG

PNG downloads with a free account and covers reports, posts, and internal docs. SVG (Professional) is the vector version for print and design tools, with the chart's fonts embedded in the file so it renders correctly on machines without them installed.

PowerPoint and PDF

PPTX export (Professional) produces an editable slide, with an option for editable text so a deck owner can retitle the chart in PowerPoint. PDF provides the same fidelity for briefs and print.

The data

Every chart's underlying table downloads as CSV, so readers can verify the numbers.
