Power BI Download Visualization Issue

Hello everyone! I hope you can help me, I have had a topic where, the company does not want to pay for the power BI licenses so I have had to be working with a FREE license, but let's say that to share it I host it in my workspace and from there I create my code to publish to the web (public), and that code I put it to the SharePoint in a site and in that way I have been able to be sharing as an embedding.

but now I have a topic where I'm being asked to copy my dashboard visualizations as an image... Does anyone know how I can do that?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Given your requirement for automation, Power BI Desktop and Service do not provide a native automated method to directly copy visuals as images. Here are a few ways to streamline the process, such as using the Power BI REST API for exporting reports as images. However, to use the Power BI REST API, you will need a Power BI Pro or Power BI Premium Per User license, as these licenses enable access to the Power BI service and APIs.

 

Reference: Export Power BI embedded analytics paginated reports API - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

As you mentioned you are using free license, you can manually copy a visual as an image. Here are the steps:

 

1. Open the Power BI service and navigate to the dashboard from which you want to copy the visual.
2. From the upper corner of the visual, select the ellipsis (...) to open a menu of options and choose "Copy visual as image".
3. If your visual has a sensitivity label applied, you will receive a warning before the copy is made. If the data shouldn't be shared with others, select Cancel. If you select Copy, the sensitivity label is added to the metadata under the pasted visual.
4. When the Image with caption copied dialog appears, review the image and caption. If it looks correct, select Copy to copy the image to the clipboard, then close the dialog.
5. With the visual copied to the clipboard, you can paste it into another application by using Paste from the command bar, right-click > Paste.

I can't use it because they tell me that they want an automated process  😞

so they don't want to pay, and they want an automated process? Sure.
