Exporting Charts & Data

Export your visualizations and underlying data for use in presentations, reports, or further analysis. MACROVISONOMICS supports multiple image and data formats with automatic source attribution.

Image Export

Download your chart as a high-quality image file with the MACROVISONOMICS watermark and source attribution included automatically.

PNG Format

Best for:
  • Presentations (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote)
  • Documents (Word, Google Docs)
  • Social media sharing
  • Web publishing and blog posts
How to export:
  1. Open your chart
  2. Click the Download button in the chart toolbar
  3. Select PNG Image
  4. The image saves to your downloads folder
PNG exports include the MACROVISONOMICS logo watermark and source attribution in the footer, ensuring proper credit when shared.

SVG Format

Best for:
  • High-quality print materials (reports, white papers)
  • Scalable graphics that need to be resized
  • Further editing in design software (Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Sketch)
  • Vector-quality presentations
SVG files are vector-based, so they stay sharp at any size — from a thumbnail to a billboard. How to export:
  1. Open your chart
  2. Click the Download button
  3. Select SVG Vector
  4. Open in any SVG-compatible application

Data Export

Export the underlying data for further analysis in spreadsheets, statistical software, or custom applications.

CSV Format

The most universal data format, compatible with virtually every spreadsheet and analysis tool.

How to export:
  1. Open your chart
  2. Click the Download button
  3. Select CSV Data
  4. Open in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any spreadsheet application

Excel Format

For users who prefer native Excel files with formatting:
  • Data is organized in a structured worksheet
  • Column headers are formatted
  • Source attribution is included in the footer
  • Ready for pivot tables and further analysis
Available on: Pro, Gold, and Enterprise plans

JSON Format

For developers and programmatic use:
  • Structured JSON with metadata
  • Includes indicator codes, country codes, and source information
  • Ready for import into databases, APIs, or custom applications
Available on: Gold and Enterprise plans

Data Table View

Before exporting, you can preview your data in table format:
  1. Click the Data tab in the bottom panel of your chart view
  2. View all data points in a sortable, filterable table
  3. Verify the data before downloading
  4. Sort by any column (country, year, value)
Use the data table to spot-check values before exporting. This is especially useful when working with multiple countries over long time periods.

Common Uses for Exported Data

Presentations

  • Export PNG or SVG charts for slide decks
  • Use high-resolution exports for conference presentations

Academic Research

  • Export CSV data for statistical analysis in R, Python, Stata, or SPSS
  • Cite the source attribution included in every export
  • Use JSON exports for reproducible research workflows

Reports and Publications

  • SVG exports for print-quality figures
  • CSV data for appendix tables
  • PDF reports combining charts and AI-generated insights

Custom Analysis

  • Import CSV into Excel for pivot tables and custom calculations
  • Combine MACROVISONOMICS data with proprietary datasets
  • Build custom dashboards using JSON exports

Sharing Exports

After exporting, you can:
  • Attach image files to emails and messages
  • Upload to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive
  • Insert into presentations and documents
  • Include in academic papers and reports
  • Post on social media with attribution

Attribution

All exports include automatic source attribution. When sharing charts publicly, the watermark ensures viewers know the data source. For text references:
Source: MACROVISONOMICS | Data: World Bank, FRED
Chart: macrovisonomics.com/charts/[chart-id]

Troubleshooting

If exports fail:
  1. Try a different format (PNG instead of SVG, or vice versa)
  2. Reduce the chart complexity (fewer countries or shorter date range)
  3. Disable browser pop-up blockers
  4. Try a different browser (Chrome recommended)
  5. Clear your browser cache and try again
PNG exports are rendered at 2x resolution for sharp display. If the image appears blurry:
  • Ensure you’re viewing at 100% zoom
  • Try SVG format for infinite scalability
  • Check that your display scaling isn’t reducing quality
Missing values in CSV exports reflect genuinely missing data from the source. Not all countries report all indicators for all years. These are left as empty cells (not filled with zeros) to maintain data integrity.
