We should have the option to export a visual as an image. Not only raster images such as bmp, jpg or png, but also vectorial metafiles such as wmf, emf and svg.

This is independent from the ability to allow visuals to be pasted onto other applications, which was submitted here: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11698812-copy-screenshot-of-visual-to-clipboard

I agree. I need that, as well! It seems a no-brainer this wouldn't be there. While the ability to export and embed visualizations on the web is amazing, this is needed, too.

Such a basic functionality, amazed MS hasn't added yet. Tableau has it - a good reason to use Tableau

Just starting with PowerBI and it's laughable that this is not a capability already!

Definitely a must for reporting.

This is extremely helpful. Others BI tools already have this.

It is a Tableu feature for instance.

I agree to this. It is strange that Power BI being Microsoft product is missing this basic feature.
