No native PDF export — but iOS makes it easy to get there.
Short answer
BoardSnap doesn't have a built-in PDF export feature. You can get a PDF of your whiteboard content by copying the summary and action items, pasting into a Notes or Pages document, and printing to PDF via iOS. The whiteboard image can also be shared from the camera roll and saved as PDF using the print-to-PDF trick.
## Current export status
BoardSnap does not have a "Save as PDF" or "Export PDF" button. What is currently available:
- Copy the summary and action items as text
- Share the board image from the app
- iOS share sheet for sending content to other apps
## The iOS print-to-PDF method
For creating a PDF from BoardSnap content:
- Copy the summary and action items from BoardSnap
- Open Apple Notes (or Pages, or any text app)
- Paste the content into a new note
- Tap Share → Print
- In the print preview, pinch-zoom on the preview thumbnail — this opens a full PDF preview
- Tap the share icon and save to Files as a PDF
This creates a clean PDF document from the text output. It takes about 45 seconds.
## For a PDF with the board image included
- Save the whiteboard photo to your camera roll from BoardSnap
- Open it in Photos
- Tap Share → Print, then pinch-zoom the preview
- Save to Files as a PDF
Or combine both steps in Apple Notes by pasting the text and inserting the image, then printing that document to PDF.
## Why PDF export isn't in the app (yet)
BoardSnap's designed workflow pushes toward action, not archiving. The text output is more useful than a PDF for most teams — it goes into task managers, Slack channels, and Notion pages directly. PDF is better for formal deliverables like client reports. That use case is noted; it's just not the primary design target.

Frequently asked
Can I share a BoardSnap board as an attachment?
You can share the whiteboard image from the app and copy the summary text separately. There's no single-attachment export that combines image + text in one file without the print-to-PDF method above.
