# export-design

Export a design to a downloadable file.

Use `export-design` to produce download links for a design in a chosen format.

## Example prompt

*"Download my pitch deck as a PDF."*

Pass the design ID and a `format`.

## Example response

IDs and URLs below are placeholders; field names and structure are exactly as returned.

This tool wraps results in an asynchronous `job` object.

```json
{
  "job": {
    "id": "job_EXAMPLE",
    "status": "success",
    "urls": [ "https://export-download.canva.com/EXAMPLE.pdf" ]
  }
}
```

Returns a `job` with the download link(s) in `urls`. Alongside `format`, the tool accepts optional `quality`, `size`, `width`, `height`, and `lossless` parameters; some apply only to raster formats.

NOTE: Signed export URLs expire. Use them immediately, and don't store or share them.
