We have a wonderful option - switch theme to import theme as a JSON file.It would be great to have an export option to export current theme as a JSON file from a report.

We have completed this idea!

You can read about it in our documentation. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-report-themes

The convert to Zip and copy the json file works for me too

And have the option on each individual visual to export the the JSON reflecting how you have just formatted it with manual selections. This would be amazing and make using custom themes massively more user-friendly.

RE: Export current theme as a Json file

I "thought" I read somewhere that you could create a JSON file from an EXISTING theme?

No?

Would love this idea. This would help multiple users to have identical custom themes one user creates making reports more uniform across multiple users.

RE: Export current theme as a Json file

It would be great if we could export a json file after designing your own Theme in Power BI. I really need this feature. Thanks in advance for the development.

RE: Export current theme as a Json file

This feature is definitely needed, the theme generator at powerbi.tips is ok however if you need to make one little tweak to the theme you need to input all the details again, and there are a lot. it would be much better to set your styles in the desktop app and then export it. I've tried converting to a .zip and although I can export the JSON file it doesn't have all the axis colouring and other changes I have made. its beginning to take longer to style up a powerbi report than actually create one.
