Export your project as an image or a document

You can easily share and export your project as a video as well as an image or a document. When saving your project as a document, it will become a PDF file. A project that you want to convert to an image will convert to the .png format if you use Explain Everything with Android or Chromebook systems. In the case of iPads and iPhones, you can choose between .jpg or .png formats.
