How to Export a Miro Board: PDF, Image & CSV 2026

Short answer: To export a Miro Board, click the three-dots menu in the top-left corner, select Board, and choose Save as PDF, Save as image, or Export to CSV. Miro supports PDF, JPG, SVG, and CSV. There is no PNG or PowerPoint export.

Exporting is often the simplest way to get a Miro Board in front of someone who does not use Miro, and depending on your plan, it might be the only way.

On the Free plan, visitors can view a board through a shared link, but cannot comment on it, edit it, or download anything from it. If you need someone outside your team to actually work with your content (mark it up, pull data from it, reference it in a slide deck), a PDF or image export is what you get.

It is also worth doing for your own records. Miro limits Free accounts to three active boards, does not offer manual backups on that tier, and watermarks high-resolution exports.

And one more reason to back up your Miro data just dropped. Bending Spoons signed a deal to acquire Miro for $1.355 billion in September 2026. Yes, it’s the same company that nearly doubled Evernote’s pricing and gutted WeTransfer’s free plan post-acquisition. There’s no telling what Miro’s pricing or plan structure looks like next year. Having local copies of your boards costs nothing and takes 10 minutes.

Here is how to export each format, what each one misses, and what to save before the deal closes in Q4 2026.

How to Export a Miro Board (PDF, Image & CSV)

How Do You Export Miro Boards?

Miro export options vary by plan, browser, and device, and require board owner permissions. Boards can be exported as images, PDFs, or CSVs, depending on how the content will be shared.

Before we get started, remember that your upload and export options depend on your Miro plan and the browser and device you’re using. It’s also worth knowing that you can only export a Miro Board if the board owner or co-owner enables the option.

Miro’s Free Plan			Miro’s Starter, Business, Enterprise, Education plans
	Low Resolution	High resolution without watermark	Low resolution	High resolution without watermark	Export to CSV (all plans)
Google Chrome	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Safari	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Firefox	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Opera	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	No
Edge <79	No	No	No	Yes	No
Desktop app	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Tablet	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	No
Mobile	No	No	No	No	No

Export options and limits reflect Miro’s documentation at the time of writing and can change. Check the tool’s official help center before relying on any of this for a migration.

How Do You Export a Miro Board as a JPG Image?

You can export Miro boards as JPG images using a few different approaches
Export the entire board as a JPG to share a complete visual snapshot of your work
Export a single frame as a JPG to share only a specific section or slide
Convert the full board into a frame and export it as a JPG for a clean, structured image output

A JPG version of your Miro Board is ideal for a presentation, or simply sharing a visual summary of your work with colleagues or clients.

While JPG exports don’t preserve interactivity (links aren’t clickable, objects can’t be moved), they capture the full visual layout of your board. You can export your Miro Board to a JPG image in a few simple steps.

To export the entire Miro Board as a JPG image

Step 1: Click the three-dots menu (…) in the top-left corner of the board. Select Board, then hover over Export and click Save as image
Step 2: Select the area of the board you’d like to save
Step 3: Choose your image size: Small, Medium, or Large for JPG, or Vector for PDF/SVG
Step 4: Click Export

To export a single frame as an image

Step 1: Simply choose the frame you’d like to save as an image
Step 2: Click on the three dots on the context menu
Step 3: Choose ‘Export as image’, select the file size, and click on ‘Export’

Export a single frame as image — via Miro

To convert your entire board into a frame and export it

Step 1: Select all objects on your board using Ctrl + A (Windows) or ⌘ + A (Mac)
Step 2: Click the three dots (…) on the context menu and select Create frame
Step 3: Click the three dots (…) on the new frame and select Export as image
Step 4: Choose your file size and click Export

Miro exports images as JPG only. There is no PNG or PowerPoint export. Vector exports save as PDF or SVG.

How Do You Export a Miro Board as a PDF?

Miro lets you export boards as PDFs in different ways depending on whether you want the full board or only selected frames.

To export a board as a PDF

Step 1: Create at least one frame. Each frame becomes a separate page in the PDF
Step 2: To check page order, open the board overview in the bottom-left corner. Drag frames to rearrange them
Step 3: Click the three-dots menu (…) in the top-left corner. Select Board, hover over Export, and click Save as PDF
Step 4: Select the file size: Small file size or Best quality. Small file size PDFs do not support embedded links
Step 5: Click Export

When you export your board as a PDF, all frames are exported as a single file.

To export selected frames as a PDF

Step 1: Hold Shift and select the frames you’d like to export. Or drag the selection field across them, click Filter on the context menu, and select Frames
Step 2: Click the three dots (…) on the context menu and choose Export as PDF

To export the whole board as a single-page PDF

Paid and Education plans:

Step 1: Select all objects on your board using Ctrl + A (Windows) or ⌘ + A (Mac)
Step 2: Click the three dots (…) on the context menu and select Create frame
Step 3: Click the three dots (…) on the new frame’s context menu and choose Export as image
Step 4: Select Vector quality and click Export

Free plan (if you don’t have frames on your board):

Step 1: Select all objects on your board using Ctrl + A (Windows) or ⌘ + A (Mac)
Step 2: Click the three dots (…) on the context menu and select Create frame
Step 3: Click the three-dots menu (…) in the top-left corner. Select Board, hover over Export, and click Save as PDF
Step 4: Click Export

Free plan (if you already have frames on your board):

Step 1: Select all objects using Ctrl + A (Windows) or ⌘ + A (Mac), or drag the selection field
Step 2: On the context menu, click Filter and select Frames
Step 3: Delete the frames (but keep the content)
Step 4: Select all objects again using Ctrl + A (Windows) or ⌘ + A (Mac)
Step 5: Click the three-dots menu (…) in the top-left corner. Select Board, hover over Export, and click Save as PDF
Step 6: Click Export
Step 7: Click the undo button under the left-side toolbar twice to restore your frames

Miro’s own guidance is worth repeating: exporting frames with a large number of objects can disrupt the export, and text sometimes goes missing from the resulting file. If you have one sprawling board, split it before you export rather than after you discover the gap.

How Do You Export Miro Board Content as a CSV?

CSV export pulls text-based content from your board (sticky notes, tables, cards, text boxes, and shapes) into a spreadsheet file. It’s useful for documentation, task migration, or pulling data into another tool.

To export selected content as a CSV

Step 1: Select a frame or board content by dragging the selection field or holding Shift and clicking
Step 2: Click the three dots (…) on the context menu and choose Export to CSV

Your CSV file will list board content in this order: text, card description/URL, sticky note/card tags.

To export selected content as a CSV — via Miro

To export the entire board as a CSV

Step 1: Click the three-dots menu (…) in the top-left corner. Select Board, hover over Export, and click Export to spreadsheet (CSV)

CSV export does not preserve board structure or relationships. If you export tables, the table structure is saved, but everything else (mind maps, clusters, connections) arrives as a flat list.

Available in: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and the Miro Desktop app only. CSV export is not supported in Opera, on tablets, or on mobile.

How Do You Save a Full Backup of a Miro Board?

Miro offers a board backup that is separate from the export menu, and it is the closest thing to a complete copy of a board. It captures the board as an .rtb file rather than as a flattened picture of one. Backups are available on Starter, Business, Enterprise, and Education plans only. Free plan users do not have this option.

Understand what it is before you rely on it. A backup protects you from accidental deletion inside Miro. It is not a portable format that other whiteboard tools can read, so it guards against data loss, not vendor lock-in. If your goal is to be able to leave Miro entirely, a backup is a supplement to a vector PDF and a CSV, not a replacement for them.

If your boards are diagrams rather than free-form canvases, Miro also supports exporting diagrams to Visio (.vsdx), which preserves more structure than any of the image formats. This feature is currently in beta and available on Enterprise plans only.

What Do Miro Exports Leave Out?

Every Miro export loses something, and the losses are not obvious until you open the file.

Comments are not included in any exported document
Frame titles do not appear either, so the labels organizing your board vanish unless you replace them with text widgets first
Voting results cannot be exported at all, and Miro’s own answer is to take a screenshot
Bitmap images you uploaded are compressed on the way in, so they will not come out sharper than they went in, while objects created inside Miro keep their quality
Links are only clickable in PDFs exported in Best (Vector) quality; your small file size PDFs will lose embedded links

The practical consequence is that an exported board is a record of what the board looked like, not a record of what the team decided. If the decisions live in the comments, export the comments by hand before you archive anything.

Why Is the Export Option Missing From Your Miro Board?

In most cases, the board owner has switched export off.

Miro lets the owner or co-owner disable export for collaborators in the board content settings, and when that happens, the option simply is not in the menu. Here is how to tell the causes apart.

No export option at all on a board you do not own: the owner has restricted it in board content settings, and only they or an admin can change that
You are on a phone or tablet: board export is not supported on mobile devices at all, so switch to a desktop browser or the Miro desktop app
Some options present, others missing: your plan, browser, or device does not support that specific format. CSV in Opera and high-resolution export on Free are the usual culprits
The export starts and then fails on a big board: split the board and export each part, per Miro’s board export issues guidance
Nothing happens when you click Export (no error): a pop-up blocker may be stopping the download. This is a known issue in Safari. Make sure pop-ups are enabled for miro.com
You are in a developer team: board export is not supported there

What to Export Before the Bending Spoons Deal Closes

If you want a copy of your work that does not depend on a Miro subscription, you need three files per board rather than one, because no single Miro export format carries everything.

Here’s the list:

A vector PDF, which preserves layout and keeps links clickable
A CSV, which gives you the text in a form that another tool can actually ingest
A board backup (paid plans only), for anything you might want to restore inside Miro later

Two things worth checking while you do it.

First, export is controlled per board, so if you are a board owner or admin, confirm export is not disabled on the boards your team will need. Second, the Free plan watermark applies to high-resolution exports, which means an archive made on a free account is a lower-quality archive.

If you have been meaning to downgrade, export first and downgrade second.

None of this commits you to leaving. Deals take time; the Miro acquisition is not expected to close until Q4 2026, and both companies have said they will operate independently until then. Having the files is simply the cheapest option you have, and it stays useful whether or not anything changes.

What Are the Best Alternatives to Miro?

If you are exporting because you are thinking about leaving Miro, here are five tools worth evaluating.

For a full breakdown with feature comparisons and migration tips, read our guide to the best Miro alternatives in 2026.

Tool	Best for	Starting price	Why it works	Where it taps out
FigJam	Affordable team whiteboarding	Free; $3/editor/mo (Collab seat)	Cheapest capable whiteboard on the market. Built-in AI clusters sticky notes and summarizes sessions. 300+ templates. Guests join without creating an account. Connects directly to Figma design files.	Feels light outside brainstorming and design. Limited third-party integrations. No native task tracking.
Mural	Facilitated workshops	Free (3 murals); $9.99/user/mo	Built for the person running the session. Timers, private voting, laser pointer, and screen summon give real control over large groups. AI auto-clusters ideas post-session. Deep template library for retros, design thinking, and journey mapping.	Diagramming trails dedicated diagram tools. Free plan has the same 3-board cap that pushes people off Miro. Gets expensive for casual use.
ClickUp	Turning boards into tracked work	Free; $7/user/mo	Whiteboard shapes and sticky notes convert directly into tasks with owners, due dates, and dependencies. Recent Whiteboards rebuild runs 10x faster with real-time collaboration on dense boards. Mind Maps for structured thinking. Brain² summarizes and tags content across the platform.	More than a pure canvas, so setup takes longer. Teams report a learning curve during onboarding. Overkill if you only need quick freeform sketching.
Lucidspark	Brainstorming that becomes precise diagrams	Free; $7.95/user/mo	Pairs with Lucidchart so messy ideation graduates into strict architecture diagrams without rebuilding. Built-in migration tools import existing Miro and Mural boards. Collaborative AI generates diagrams and groups ideas.	You need both Lucidspark and Lucidchart to get full value, which means managing and paying for two products.
Microsoft Whiteboard	Teams already on Microsoft 365	Included with M365	Zero extra cost if you already pay for M365. Lives inside Teams for in-meeting whiteboarding. Copilot generates ideas, categorizes sticky notes, and summarizes discussions. Covers basics: drawing, sticky notes, templates, co-editing.	Feels very basic outside the Microsoft stack. Much smaller template library. Far fewer integrations than Miro or Mural.

How to Rebuild Miro Boards in ClickUp Whiteboards

If you are using Miro mostly for brainstorming, sprint planning, or mapping out a process, your actual whiteboarding needs might be simpler than the tool you are paying for.

The question is whether it makes more sense to replace Miro with another point solution. Or to fold whiteboarding into a platform that already handles your tasks, docs, and communication.

That is the case for a converged AI workspace like ClickUp, where the whiteboard is not a separate product but part of the same workspace your team already works in.

From brainstorming to tracked work

Easily convert your sticky notes in ClickUp Whiteboards into dedicated ClickUp Tasks — Easily convert your sticky notes in ClickUp Whiteboards into trackable ClickUp Tasks that can be assigned to your teammates

ClickUp Whiteboards give you an infinite canvas with shapes, sticky notes, connectors, and freeform drawing.

The difference is what happens after the brainstorming session ends: any shape or sticky note on the canvas converts directly into a ClickUp task with an owner, a due date, and dependencies. You skip the step where ideas get screenshotted and manually re-entered into a project tracker.

For structured thinking, ClickUp Mind Maps let you build hierarchy-based flowcharts where nodes can also become tasks. Between the two, you can go from loose ideation to an assigned, scheduled project without leaving the platform.

ClickUp’s Work Plan Whiteboard Template gives you the same visual clarity with built-in tasks, ownership, and updates, so your brainstorm turns into actual progress.

AI that knows your work

AI in Clickup whiteboards — Simply describe your diagramming needs or explain the image generation prompt, the AI works within your whiteboards

Brain² is ClickUp’s AI layer, and it works across every surface: Whiteboards, Docs, tasks, and Chat.

On a Whiteboard, Brain² can generate visual structures from a text prompt (a mind map, a flowchart, a sprint planning layout), auto-cluster sticky notes by theme, and summarize an entire brainstorming session. It can also turn a whiteboard session into a structured project hierarchy, grouping related ideas into parent tasks and subtasks.

Brain² routes to the best frontier model for each job (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and carries your full workspace context, so it does not need a separate brief. The more your team works in ClickUp, the richer Brain²’s understanding becomes.

One of Miro’s biggest pain points is collaboration on the Free plan. That means:

Visitors can only view (no commenting, no editing)
There is no guest access at all
Every board is visible to the whole team, with no option for private boards
You are capped at three active boards

ClickUp’s Free Forever plan supports unlimited users and unlimited tasks with no seat cap. You can share Whiteboards via link with view-only or comment permissions for external stakeholders without giving them access to your broader workspace. On paid plans (starting at $7/user/mo), you get full guest access with granular permission controls, private spaces, and unlimited Whiteboards.

Whiteboards are available on all ClickUp plans, though usage limits vary by plan and user role. For a fuller picture of how the two compare on collaboration and canvas features, see ClickUp vs. Miro.

Conclusion: Export Now, Decide Later

Exporting from Miro is straightforward once you know the two things the menu does not tell you: frames control your PDF pages, and CSV is the only format that gets your content out in a form another tool can read.

And the Bending Spoons acquisition does not require you to do anything yet. Still, it is a reasonable prompt to spend 20 minutes making copies of the handful of boards that would genuinely hurt to lose. That is cheap insurance against whatever Bending Spoons does with pricing. Future-you will be glad the files already exist.

Lastly, if your boards keep generating work that has to be re-entered elsewhere, that gap is worth closing.

Frequently Asked Questions About How to Export from Miro

Can you export out of Miro?

Yes. Miro supports export as PDF, JPG, SVG, and CSV. Open the three-dots menu in the top-left corner, select Board, hover over Export, and choose your format. If the option is missing, the board owner has most likely disabled it in board content settings.

How do I export a Miro Board as a PDF file?

Create at least one frame (each frame becomes a page). Go to three-dots menu → Board → Export → Save as PDF. Choose Small file size or Best quality. Small file size PDFs do not support embedded links. Rearrange frames in the board overview panel (bottom-left) to control page order.

How to export Miro as PNG?

You cannot. Miro does not support PNG or PowerPoint export. Image exports save as JPG only. For vector quality, choose the Vector option, which saves as a PDF or SVG.

Can you export a Miro Board on mobile?

No. Board export is not supported on phones or tablets. You need a desktop browser or the Miro desktop app.

Can you export a Miro Board for free?

Yes, with limits. The Free plan exports in low resolution only, and high-resolution exports carry a watermark. You need a Starter, Business, Enterprise, or Education plan for watermark-free, high-quality exports.

Will Bending Spoons raise Miro’s prices?

We don’t know this yet. But you can look at historical data for reference as a best practice. After acquiring Evernote, Bending Spoons nearly doubled the annual price and gutted the free tier. After acquiring WeTransfer, the free plan was capped. CEO Luca Ferrari has said the company plans to invest in Miro’s performance and that user bases are “stable or growing.” Exporting your boards now costs nothing and takes 10 minutes.

Everything you need to stay organized and get work done.
