Export to Image (PDF) with best quality should be a REAL Image. The feature is 100% misleading as it is not Image, the Image PDF text is searchable.

Export as Image PDF does not work completely

  •

    When I export my board into Image PDF, it is not 100% image PDF. Some text is recognized and searchable. I need a 100% image PDF as I need to use other AI tools for digesting the screenshot and content as Miro does not recognize the image at this moment.
    Thank you!

    Hi Vincent,
     
    Thank you for reaching out to Miro about the exported image PDF. We'll be glad to look into this!
     
    As I understand, you'd like to export an image PDF with all content, including text, converted into a non-searchable format. Is that correct? If you have a different goal, feel free to provide additional information (board URLdevice type, browser version, etc.) and we'll be sure to check!
     
    Meanwhile, I've got in touch with the team internally to check and investigate your case. I'll let you know as soon as I receive an update from them.
     
    Please bear with us!

    Warm regards,
    Rai

    Hi Vincent, 
     
    Thank you for your patience while we discussed this with the team. 
     
    When it comes to exporting a PDF to make it un-searchable, the best recommendation here would be to export it using the small file size option:
    ?name=Screenshot+2025-01-23+at+2.34.22%E2%80%AFPM.png
     
    Using this option, the text in the PDF should become unsearchable and comply with your needs for your AI tools. 
     
    When it comes to exporting using higher quality and vector PDFs, there unfortunately is not a way for you to do the export and make the PDF unsearchable for text, as this is built into the functionality. That said, I think adding this functionality to the high quality PDF export option is a great idea.
