Export a diagram

Last modified: June 2, 2025

dbForge Studio supports diagram export to the following formats – .bmp, .jpg, .gif, .png, .tif, and .emf.

Export a diagram

To export a diagram:

1. Right-click the diagram and select Export to Image.

2. In the Save As window, specify a folder to store the file, a file name, and an image format.

3. To save the changes, select Save.

Export large diagrams

The bitmap generation engine needs a contiguous memory block to process large diagrams. Memory fragmentation can cause failures, particularly for diagrams exceeding 10,000 x 10,000 pixels, though smaller ones may also be affected. The following error appears: The error occurred while diagram exporting. Probably, the image is oversized. Try to export to another format.

To resolve the issue, try the following:

  • Save the diagram in a vector format (.emf) to bypass bitmap limitations.
  • Restart the application to clear memory and attempt exporting again.
  • Use third-party RAM optimization or defragmentation tools to improve memory allocation.
