Export to SVG

I’d love to see SVG export available as well. PDF is appropriate for a complete document but not really for an isolated diagram. SVG is much better for embedding in formats like PowerPoint, GitHub and Markdown documentation, etc.

My group and I use miro for documentation purposes. PDF file do not work for me, JPEG files blow up the size of documents while sacrificing on quality. SVG support is critical for us, we are ramping down use of Miro as we are looking into alternatives. 

Awesome idea. An SVG can easily be converted into raster format (e.g. JPG, PNG, etc). Converting an existing raster format image into a vector format is not that easy.

I wonder why Miro chose to support PDF as an “image” format? Yes, the result does scale up. However, I can’t copy and paste the content. Equally, most (if not all?) programs that allow importing images do not consider PDF to be an image format.

For file formats that are considered image files formats, the wikipedia article on the subject might be helpful.

And why JPG instead of PNG? PNG is superior for vector data, and no need to export at insane DPI to avoid compression artifacts, as with JPG. Oh, and supports transparency. We basically have to recreate any diagrams from Miro in OmniGraffle if we want to use them in marketing or proposal materials.

I use the PDF feature in high quality to extract SVG with Illustrator. However, the process is dedious and intense. I wished, it would be possible, to Copy as SVG (additionally to “as image”), that’ll make the process slim and fast.

In my case I noticed because I was jus trying to extract information from a state diagram I created to ease the implementation… And was surprised, no way to extract an SVG so I can use default libraries to parse the model. Strange…
Keep looking, no vector pdf, no nothing… just raster graphic formats.

Soooo basically if you do anything on Miro, it will be on Miro forever. Classic vendor lock in tactics…. So well. Will have to move.

Very Bad Miro, very bad. 

Lost a lot of hours on this….. 

I guess is my fault for not checking beforehand… But who would imagine an vectort graphics app with no vector file support.

Let’s re-do the work on Figma

I like Miro to initiate flow diagrams, on a shared board.
but when i have to present a change between 2 processes,
an animation like in Powerpoint or Google Slides, even Draw.io, is more efficient. 
that’s why i would like to be able to export diagrams to SVG format, so i could split the elements of the diagram to put the animations.
otherwise, develop an animation tool in MIRO !
 

Export to SVG is essential for creating tables and simple schematics, embedded into Markdown documentation.

Miro is a fantastic editor for online teaching but the lack of svg export is a major disappointement.

I need integration with keynote/powerpoint and that lack of feature is a non-starter for me and my team. 

we’ll definitly switch to a paid suscription once this feature will be implemented

Hi,

I’m new to Miro used Draw.io till now. After using Miro I think the export functionality is really expandable. Only JPEG? No SVG? No PNG or more modern formats - for a tool that is primary use-case graphics is?

Please think about it.

The only reason I’m still keeping my flowcharts for developer documentation in Lucidchart is that Miro can’t export to SVG and the PDFs do not work as they should when inserted on e.g. Google Slides.

The ability to export a Frame as SVG is the #1 most important feature missing from Miro today, in my opinion.

What’s even more frustrating is that it seems this was a feature 3-4 years ago?!*

Why was support for SVG export dropped?

*Based on this May 25, 2021 tweet—export as SVG was an option

...however, when you go to that help article today (Dec 20, 2024) in the FAQs you see

To use this effectively in other software - e.g., markdown, presentation clients such as PowerPoint or other it is important that the user can export in SVG. Otherwise all this hard work of creating a diagram is going to waste since stakeholders cannot see the diagram features clearly. I understand that you want the users in your software but in a lot of cases that’s just not possible.

Discovering that this isn’t a possibility means I cannot use this tool. It’s too bad, because my team does use Miro. I’m going to have to bring it up and we’ll discuss what other options there are available.
