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

I completely agree! We should be able to copy visuals to at least other Microsoft products (Word, Outlook...etc)

Another vote for this feature. Would really like to copy a chart as a visual to either PowerPoint or Word.

I have a chart that uses a slicer and when I export to PowerPoint to get the visual it includes the slicer. I'd like to have the ability to choose a single chart object for copying/pasting.

Yes! I get this question asked by my end users at least once a week!

This function is very much needed, can't believe it's not available already

I couldn't believe this was not already supported.

How is it possible that this is not implemented yet. Makes the use of Power Bi very awkward in may use cases
