Summary
Miro lets you export any board as an image, PDF, or CSV file directly from the board menu, no add-ons required. This turns your live, editable board into a static file you can share, print, or archive outside of Miro.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the board you want to export
Log into your Miro account and open the specific board from your dashboard. Make sure you're viewing the full board or the section you plan to export, since the export tool captures what's currently visible or selected.
Step 2
Open the main board menu
Click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner of the board, next to the board name. This opens a dropdown with board-level actions including sharing, duplicating, and exporting.
Step 3
Select the Export option
From the dropdown menu, hover over or click 'Export board.' Miro will show you the available export formats: PDF, image (PNG or JPG), or CSV if your board contains tables or lists.
Step 4
Choose your export format and scope
Pick the format that fits your purpose — PDF works well for printing or formal sharing, while image exports are better for embedding in documents or presentations. If you only need part of the board, select specific frames instead of the entire canvas to keep the export focused.
Step 5
Confirm export settings
Depending on the format, Miro may ask you to confirm page size, resolution, or which frames to include. Review these settings before continuing, especially for large boards where high-resolution exports can take longer to process.
Step 6
Download the exported file
Click the Export or Download button to generate the file. Smaller boards download almost instantly, while larger or more complex boards may take a minute or trigger an email notification when the file is ready.
Step 7
Share or store the exported file
Once downloaded, you can attach the file to an email, upload it to another tool, or store it as an archive. If you'd rather give someone live access to the original board instead of a static file, consider using the share a board options for real-time collaboration.
Why this matters
You've just wrapped a workshop or planning session and need to send a summary to a stakeholder who doesn't use Miro, or you want an offline backup before archiving the project. Exporting turns your board into a portable file anyone can open.
Frequently asked questions
Can I export a Miro board without a paid plan?
Yes. Board export as image, PDF, or CSV is available on Miro's free plan. There's no need to upgrade just to download a static copy of your board.
Can I export just one frame instead of the whole board?
Yes. When you open the export menu, you can select specific frames rather than the entire canvas, which is useful for sharing just one section of a larger project.
Does exporting a board affect who can access it in Miro?
No. Exporting creates a separate file and doesn't change any sharing or permission settings. Collaborators with existing access continue to view and edit the live board as usual.
What's the difference between exporting and sharing a board?
Exporting creates a static file for offline use, while sharing gives people live, interactive access to the actual board so they can view or edit it in real time.
