**Note:** You cannot download Text widgets.

- **CSV:**
  Download the data described by the widget in a CSV file. If you have applied any filters, the filtered data
  is the data included in the file.
- **Excel:**
  Download the data described by the widget in an Excel file. The exported data is the data displayed in your
  widget. This means that any active filters, layout structure, and masks applied in Sisense to your data are
  exported as well. For example, if you have modified how currency, percentages, or numbers are formatted in
  the widget in Sisense , these are reflected in your exported Excel file. Exporting to Excel maintains your
  pivot's layout and structure, and values such as sub-totals, which are not maintained when you export a
  pivot table to CSV.
- **Image:**
  You can download a widget as an image in PNG format. The image size will reflect the size of the widget on
  the screen when you download it. To create a larger image, enlarge the widget space in the dashboard, or
  open the widget in edit view, to get a bigger picture.
- **PDF:**
  Download the widget as a PDF. For Table widgets, you can customize how your table is displayed in your PDF
  including the table's orientation and page size. In the PDF Report Settings, the first 14 pages of your
  Pivot table are displayed in the preview window, however, when you export your Pivot table to PDF, the
  entire table is included, up to 1,000 rows on multiple pages. For more information, see [Customizing PDF Reports](https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/customizing-pdf-reports.md).
