How Do I Download Data Visualization in Tableau?

Published in Data Visualization 2 mins read

You can't directly download a data visualization from Tableau in the same way you download a file like a PDF or image. However, you can export your visualizations in various formats, making them shareable and viewable outside of Tableau.

Here's how you can export your Tableau visualizations:

1. Exporting to Static Images

  • Choose a visualization: Select the visualization you want to export.
  • Click "Export": Locate the "Export" button in the top-right corner of your Tableau window.
  • Select "Image": From the dropdown menu, choose "Image."
  • Choose an image format: You can select from various image formats like PNG, JPEG, or TIFF.
  • Set image size and resolution: Adjust the image size and resolution to fit your needs.
  • Save the image: Click "Export" to save the image to your computer.

2. Exporting to PDF

  • Select the visualization: Choose the visualization you want to export.
  • Click "Export": Locate the "Export" button in the top-right corner of your Tableau window.
  • Select "PDF": From the dropdown menu, choose "PDF."
  • Customize the PDF: You can adjust settings like page size, orientation, and margins.
  • Save the PDF: Click "Export" to save the PDF to your computer.

3. Exporting to Tableau Public

  • Publish to Tableau Public: If you want to share your visualization online, you can publish it to Tableau Public.
  • Export from Tableau Public: Once published, you can download your visualization in various formats, including PNG, JPEG, and PDF.

Remember, these are just a few ways to export your Tableau visualizations. You can explore other options within the Tableau interface for more advanced exporting features.
