Saving Excel Charts as an Image

June 19th, 2009 by Jared Bothwell

Excel is pretty good at producing charts and shifting them into a MS Word or PowerPoint report is simple as copy and paste. Saving a chart as an image can be a little more tricky. One quick and easy way is to copy and paste the chart into MS paint and then save as a tiff image (or something similar).

I think the most straight forward method I have found is to introduce this quick and easy Excel add-in featured on the  PTS Blog. The add-in can be found as a zip file and follow these instructions so how to install a excel add-in (which is pretty easy). A great solution!

    Another one to consider is John Walkenbach’s add-in…it’s a very handy one working on chart sizing, but another feature is to export your charts too.

    Thanks Adam, looks like an interesting option but it seems is not compatible with Excel 2007. The above add-in works fine with 2007.
