Export designs

Render selected layers or a page to PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF from Fanta.

Fanta's visual export controls support PNG, JPG, SVG, and PDF. Add export settings in the inspector, choose a format, and run the export. Raster PNG and JPG presets offer 1x, 2x, and 4x scale. The app writes files into the project's exports/ directory.

What gets exported

If layers are selected, each selected layer is exported separately using its visual bounds. With no selection, Fanta exports the active page. Output names are made safe for filenames, and duplicate selected-layer names receive distinct names.

PNG and JPG are raster images. JPG is encoded as opaque RGB at a fixed quality setting of 95; transparent areas are composited over white. JPG compression can change pixel colors, particularly near sharp transitions. Use PNG when you need transparency or pixel-level comparison, and inspect important JPG exports. SVG and PDF are visual outputs, not editable Fanta project files. To keep working with design layers, retain the native project. Canvas comments and editor measurement annotations are review aids; they are excluded from rendered output.

Size limits

Raster export is bounded by an 8192-pixel maximum dimension and about 16 million total pixels per output. A large design at 4x may exceed these limits; reduce the scale or export a smaller selection. The export flow reports failures rather than silently writing a partial result.

Agent screenshots are different

The local MCP get_screenshot tool returns PNG image content to the agent for inspection. It captures the active page by default, or a specified page or node, and defaults to a 768-pixel maximum dimension; the requested maximum is clamped to 16–1568 pixels. It is a review tool, not the inspector's file-export command. The 13 local MCP tools do not include a separate file export method for PNG, SVG, PDF, or JSX.
