Direct answer
Export → Save as PNG captures the rendered artifact as a static image. The image never updates after export.
Use PNG where a live artifact cannot go, such as a slide, ticket, message thread, or printed page. Prefer the AgentGrid.io artifact link when a live view is possible, or publish for an audience outside the team.
For a document sent as a file, Export as PDF is usually better because PDF preserves selectable text and handles multiple pages.
UI-only steps
The agent should instruct the human to:
- Open the artifact.
- Select Export → Save as PNG.
A human may also ask an AI assistant:
Grab a PNG of this AgentGrid.io artifact and drop it in the ticket.
Limits and recovery
- PNG is a snapshot and starts becoming stale as soon as the artifact changes.
- The export captures what renders.
- Very tall pages may be cut off or otherwise work better as the live artifact or a PDF.
- Documents can be exported as PNG, but PDF is usually preferable for long documents.
- If the image is cut off, use the live artifact or PDF export.
