Export Charts to Image Formats with ASP.NET Core

April 25, 2024
Provide flexibility for users by giving your applications the ability to export charts to image formats such as PNG, JPG and more.

Exporting charts as images offers several advantages. It allows for easy sharing in documents, presentations, and social media without relying on the recipient having the original software. Popular formats include JPEG, PNG, and SVG. JPEGs offer small sizes for low bandwidth scenarios, while PNGs are ideal for charts with sharp lines and flat colors. SVGs are vector-based, enabling infinite scaling without quality loss, making them perfect for charts that may be resized frequently.

Several ASP.NET Core chart controls offer the ability to export charts to images including:

  • DevExpress ASP.NET Core Chart (Part of DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor) empowers you to export charts as images for effortless sharing in reports and presentations.
  • Telerik ASP.NET Core Chart (part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core) lets you export charts to image formats such as PNG and JPEG, ensuring wider usability across platforms.
  • Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Chart (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) facilitates seamless image export to JPEG, PNG, and SVG, promoting clear data visualization sharing.
  • Infragistics ASP.NET Core Charts (part of Infragistics Ignite UI) allows you to export charts as images for efficient communication of insights.
