Export a Gantt chart as an image
Drop the schedule, take the image. The PNG is drawn at twice the size so it stays readable once printed; the SVG stays vector and can be reworked in any layout tool.

This table, column by column
Check what each column holds before reading. A table read wrong does not show: it gives a plausible schedule that is false.

Comparison with another version
The open file is the earlier version. Drop the version to compare.
When to use it
A chart has to go into a meeting report, a note, a presentation or an e-mail.
Or the house style requires rework: the SVG opens in Illustrator, Inkscape and Figma, and its text stays text.
What this page does
- The PNG is drawn on a canvas, at twice the size: at scale 1, task names become unreadable once printed.
- The SVG carries the same shapes, in vector form, with selectable text.
- Both carry the schedule title and a dated footer.
- The time scale can be set to day, week or month.
What it does not do: An image is not a working file. For a paginated print, take the PDF; for sortable data, the workbook. The PNG is produced by the browser: it does not exist on the command line.
What is read
- Microsoft Project XML, Primavera P6 XER, GanttProject .gan, a CSV or .xlsx table.
No file is uploaded: the schedule is read by your browser, in this tab, and the page is not allowed to open a connection to any other site.
Frequently asked questions
- PNG or SVG?
- PNG to paste into a document and leave alone. SVG to rework the colours, the text or the crop.
- Why is the image twice the size of the chart on screen?
- So that it stays readable in print. A Gantt chart pasted into a report almost always ends up on paper.
