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

Exporting visuals from a BI tool for use in other mediums, reports, presentations, et al., is a minimum requirement.

Why was it not included in first version?

Recommend adding this as soon as possible

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

I vote one for this too. Its quite inconvenient especially for someone who’s job is to generate reports with Word. Resolution of screen capture is not quite good which you’ll notice when printing the report. Really wish they add a button for the easy copy-paste feature

This is crazy, that it is not included

Yeah I am very surprised this is not already included.
