Export your chart

The publish panel supports various export options.
  • Online
  • Social 
  • PDF/print
  • Code
  • Video 
  • Live video

Online

Choose this option if you are embedding your chart on your website. 

Clicking  Publish generates the embed codes to be pasted into your CMS or elsewhere; it does not make your chart public. Charts are only visible once they have been inserted on a webpage or elsewhere.

There are three ways to embed a chart on your page:
  • Script (Recommended) makes the chart part of your page allowing it to be styled by you, and scales to automatically to fit screen size
  • iframe includes the chart in your page through a window that has fixed height. Advisable only if your CMS does not support scripts.
  • Embed link to the visualization only, covering the full page. Used when embedding to PowerPoint, or platforms such as Medium.

Social

Export a chart as an image in a resolution suitable for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X and LinkedIn.

Click Channel to select a social media platform. Format contains a list of picture formats, including PNG, JPEG, SVG and PDF. Set the image orientation in Post dimensions. Set a custom image resolution with the export width and height options.

Click Export to download the image to your download folder.

PDF/print 

Export the chart for use in an offline format or as PDF.

Code

Download a chart for self hosting. Two formats are available for download: HTML and JSON.

Video

Download a transparent version of the chart to overlay on top of video. Currently, MOV is the only supported format. 

There are three options in the frames per second (FPS) menu:

  • 60 FPS (Web) is a frame rate of 60 frames per second specifically optimized for web-based content
  • 50P (Pal) is a frame rate of 50 frames per second and is associated with the PAL (Phase Alternating Line) television standard. 50P stands for '50 Progressive,' meaning means that each frame of the video is displayed progressively, one after the other, without interlacing.
  • 60i (NTSC) is a video format with a frame rate of 60 fields per second (60i) that is associated with the NTSC (National Television System Committee) television standard. 60i stands for '60 Interlaced.'

Live video

Use this option for embedding a chart into a live broadcast. Clicking publish generates a chart embed link to be pasted into a Viz Flowics HTML graphic template.
