 Mapping in QGIS, creating a map layout, Part 4, exporting a map layout. In this Part 4 video, we will explore exporting a map layout. From the top menu, select Layout. Here you can export your map layout as an image file, as an SVG file, or as a PDF. For this video, we will export our map layout as a JPG. Select Export as Image. When the Image Export Options window opens, browse to the location in which you would like to save your image. Provide it with a descriptive name and change the export format to JPG. Select Save. Next, you have the option to change the export resolution, the page width and height, and to create a world file which provides the image with a real world location. Select Save. Your map layout has now been exported and is now ready to be used in a research paper, a journal, or digitally. For more information on QGIS, visit the UTM Library QGIS playlist.
