Hey guys!

Is there any way at all to let users “export” a part of what they see on-screen (as a PNG/JPEG)?

I’m willing to pay for such an add-on. It would be priceless for me.

Even exporting the entire screen as an image (just like a full “screenshot”) will be fine at this point…

Thank you ❤

What’s the difference with the user taking a screenshot?

Currently, I display a text box saying “Please take a screenshot of the section below”.

**It will be a cleaner experience if I had a button that generates an actual image, instead 🙂**

Thanks!!

Hi Tom,

I also love this idea!

I found these two posts by Steven that may help you!

> Hi @Pavel83, welcome to the community. You have 3 options no-code Use a backend service like [https://www.bannerbear.com/](https://www.bannerbear.com/) and on the save button you make the action External URL and have it point to the API you setup at banner bear with &dl as the last parameter some-code Create a custom component specific that will do what you want heavy-code get into the Adalo native code and inject a screenshot saver where you need it

I just tried [BannerBear](https://www.bannerbear.com/) ( [Bannerbear API Reference](https://developers.bannerbear.com/#post-v2-images) / [Bannerbear API Reference](https://developers.bannerbear.com/#get-v2-images-uid) ) but in there we need a URL of that website. I think you need Deep Linking. [Better Deep Linking](https://forum.adalo.com/t/better-deep-linking/20225) / [[Adalo Tutorial] How to Share App pages & How to use url parameters for deep linking in a Web app](https://forum.adalo.com/t/adalo-tutorial-how-to-share-app-pages-how-to-use-url-parameters-for-deep-linking-in-a-web-app/25254)

Post this request in the #Jobs / Freelance category and then the component developers will look that topic and will make a component for this feature if he/she can!

Thank you
