Save and share your Gantt chart as a high-resolution PDF in just a few clicks. PDFs are ideal for large screens, printing, or emailing to collaborators.

How to Export Gantt Chart as PDF

  1. Open your project and navigate to the Gantt view

  2. Click More in the top-right corner

  3. Select Download PDF

The left side of the dialog shows a preview of your PDF. This preview gives a general sense of layout, title placement, and branding (such as headers and logos).

Note: The preview is conceptual. The final layout is controlled by the page size and page handling options you select.

Choose a Page Size

Available page sizes include:

  • 11x17 (Tabloid)

  • 17x22 (Ledger)

  • 24x36 (Arch D)

  • 30x42 (Arch E1)

Larger page sizes allow more time detail (like daily/weekly views) to fit clearly on a single page.

Tip: You can download a large-format PDF (such as 24×36) and still print it on smaller paper if needed.


How Should the Gantt Fit on the Page?

This is the most important choice when exporting a Gantt PDF.

Multi-Page Width (Recommended for Weekly Detail)

  • Keeps the same timescale you see in the Gantt view

  • Spreads the timeline across multiple pages, if needed

  • Best for viewing the entire schedule by day or week

Single Page Width (High-Level Overview)

  • Fits the entire schedule onto one page

  • Automatically compresses the timeline

  • Best for summaries or presentation views

Tip: If your PDF switches to months, quarters, or years, it’s because the schedule is being compressed to fit on one page. To keep weekly detail, choose Multi-Page Width or select a larger page size.
