Convert JSON Canvas to PNG
🔒 Your .canvas is parsed and rendered in your browser and is never uploaded.
PNG opens everywhere, which makes it the easiest way to share a JSON Canvas board with someone who does not use Obsidian. This tool previews your .canvas file first so you can confirm it is the right board, then exports a high-resolution PNG image — all inside your browser, with nothing uploaded. The export is rendered at 2× so text stays crisp when you drop it into a document, a slide deck, or a wiki page. Groups, colors, text cards and the arrows between nodes are all included. It is handy whenever an app or website accepts images but has no idea what a .canvas file is.
How it works
- Choose or drop your
.canvasfile(s). - The board is parsed and drawn instantly — in your browser.
- Export it as a PNG or SVG image. Nothing is uploaded.
FAQ
Is the PNG high resolution?
Yes. The board is rendered at 2× scale, so text and edges stay sharp when you embed or zoom the image.
Does it upload my canvas to convert it?
No. The .canvas is parsed and rasterized to PNG entirely in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
Can I convert several canvases at once?
Yes. Add multiple .canvas files and download a separate PNG for each board.
