PrimeFlow Export

PrimeFlow export turns the current canvas into an image file you can share, archive, add to a presentation, or send to someone who does not need to edit the canvas.

Export is useful when you want to share a project map, mind map, workflow, relationship map, or planning canvas as a finished snapshot.

Export is available on Standard and Pro

The PrimeFlow feature matrix lists export to PNG, WebP, and JPEG for both Standard and Pro.

What you can do

Export the current PrimeFlow canvas

Choose PNG, WebP, or JPEG

Choose 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x quality

Pick an export background

Add a title, author, and date

Choose a title style

Add a watermark

Add the PrimeTask logo or a custom logo

Preview the export before downloading

Use a filename without typing the file extension

Prepare the canvas before exporting

Apply Color Themes, adjust node placement, and save the canvas before opening export. Export creates a snapshot of how the canvas looks at that moment.

How to open export

Main navigation: Open PrimeFlow.
PrimeFlow header: Open the canvas menu, then choose Export to PNG.
Command palette: Press ⌘+K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows, search for PrimeFlow, then use Export to PNG from the PrimeFlow header.

The export option appears when the current canvas has nodes.

For the full header guide, see PrimeFlow Header and Controls.

Export formats

PrimeFlow supports three export formats.

Format	Best for
PNG	Highest-quality screenshots, transparent exports, detailed canvas sharing
WebP	Smaller files when the recipient or destination supports WebP
JPEG	Small files for broad sharing when transparency is not needed

The export filename adds the selected extension automatically.

JPEG does not keep transparency

Use PNG or WebP when you need a transparent export.

Export quality

PrimeFlow supports four quality choices.

Quality	Best for
1x	Standard sharing
2x	High-quality screen sharing
3x	Higher-resolution handoff or print-style use
4x	Maximum-quality exports

The export window shows the estimated export dimensions and estimated file size before you download.

Very large canvases can produce large exports

Higher quality settings increase file size. If export is slow, try a lower quality setting or reduce the canvas content you are exporting.

Background styles

Use Background Style to choose how the exported image sits behind your nodes.

Available background options include:

Canvas Theme
Pure White
Pure Dark
Transparent
Aurora Dark
Aurora Light
Cyberpunk Neon
Ocean Blue
Sunset Gradient
Cosmic Purple
Mint Fresh
Coral Reef
Ocean Mist
Aurora Borealis
Sunset Glow
Midnight
Cosmic
Forest
Rose Petal
Slate Storm
Fire

Use Canvas Theme when you want the export to match the current app theme. Use Transparent when you want to place the exported canvas over another background later.

Title and metadata

Use Title & Metadata when the exported canvas needs context.

You can add:

Canvas title
Author
Date

You can also choose between Top Bar and Card title styles. When using Card, you can place it at Top Left or Center.

Add metadata for shared strategy maps

A title and date make exported canvases easier to understand later, especially when a project changes over time.

Watermark

Turn on Include watermark when you want a short label added to the export.

The default watermark text is Created with PrimeTask, and you can replace it with your own text before exporting.

Logo options

Use Logo when you want a branded export.

Logo choices are:

No Logo
PrimeTask
Custom

When a logo is enabled, you can choose its position, choose Small, Medium, or Large size, and invert it on dark backgrounds.

Custom logos are export-only

Adding a custom logo in the export window affects the exported image. It does not add a logo node to the canvas.

Live preview

The export window includes a live preview so you can check the final look before downloading. The preview updates when you change format-related options such as background, title, watermark, or logo.

Some embedded media may export as a preview image or simplified fallback depending on what can be captured at export time.

Things worth knowing

Export does not save the canvas

Export creates an image file. It does not replace Save or Save As.

For saving canvases, see PrimeFlow Canvas Library and Saving.

Export uses the current canvas appearance

Color Themes, node color overrides, group colors, connection settings, and visible node content are reflected in the export.

For theme details, see PrimeFlow Color Themes.

Export is a snapshot

The exported file does not update when tasks, projects, CRM records, notes, or connections change later.

Canvas controls are not the focus of the export

Export is designed to capture the canvas content, not the editing controls around it.

Common questions

"Is PrimeFlow export Pro-only?"

No. PrimeFlow export is available on every PrimeTask license.

"Can I export as WebP or JPEG even though the menu says Export to PNG?"

Yes. Open Export to PNG, then choose WebP or JPEG from Format before exporting.

"Which format should I use?"

Use PNG for best quality or transparency. Use WebP for a smaller file. Use JPEG when transparency is not needed and you want broad compatibility.

"Can I add a watermark?"

Yes. Turn on Include watermark and enter the text you want.

"Can I include the PrimeTask logo?"

Yes. Choose PrimeTask under Logo. You can also choose Custom to use your own logo for that export.

"Does export include Pro nodes?"

If the current canvas contains Pro nodes and those nodes are visible on the canvas, they are included in the exported image.
