We should have the option to export a visual as an image. Not only raster images such as bmp, jpg or png, but also vectorial metafiles such as wmf, emf and svg.

This is independent from the ability to allow visuals to be pasted onto other applications, which was submitted here: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11698812-copy-screenshot-of-visual-to-clipboard

Yeah I am very surprised this is not already included.

This feature is required, in some instance only a part of a graph is required for presentation purposes and prefer if its available in PDF or any image format.

Please let this happen. I love the Power BI graphics and I am forever having to screen shot them to paste them into word documents

I like the idea! It shouldn't be any problem to copy graph to Word!

Not sure why this isn't an automatic between MS apps. Ridiculous...

This would be a really useful addition to allow single power bi visuals to be copied into word/ppt.

This is a must. I am trying to get user to adopt BI but this is a blocker....

This is a must. Some visuals need to be integrated in management word reports. Printsreens is not a good alternative.

Yes, I like the idea. It would be great if we can export the graph for presentation/report purposes.
