Sharp, high-resolution chart images that land clean in email, Substack, decks and reports — no more blurry screenshots.
Email clients strip iframes and interactive embeds, so whatever clever live chart you built, your reader only ever sees a static image. That leaves most people screenshotting — and a screenshot is blurry, the wrong aspect ratio, often on a dark background that looks wrong in a light email, with no clean file to drop into a deck or report. It is the single most-voiced frustration in finance-chart work, and it quietly undermines otherwise sharp analysis.
Quadesto exports a crisp, high-resolution PNG at 1x, 2x or 3x for Retina and print, plus SVG and PDF, with a light or dark background and your branding baked in — so the image lands clean wherever it goes. The numbers behind it are computed by a deterministic engine, not eyeballed, so what you export is checkable against your source. And when a destination does support rich links, pasting the chart URL unfurls into a preview card that links through to the fully interactive version.
A screenshot captures whatever your screen happened to be showing: a 1x raster at your window size, cropped by hand, usually on whatever theme your app defaulted to. Blow that up in a newsletter column or a slide and the edges fur, the text softens, and the aspect ratio fights the layout. Quadesto skips the screen entirely and renders the chart itself at the resolution you ask for, so lines stay crisp and labels stay legible at any size. The difference is immediately obvious the moment a reader opens it on a Retina display.
Pick the format for the job: PNG for email and social, 2x or 3x for Retina screens and print, SVG when you want infinitely scalable vectors for a designer, and PDF when the chart is going into a formal report or appendix. Each export is a clean, self-contained file — not a cropped grab — so it drops straight into Gmail, Substack, a Keynote slide or a PDF research note without a second round of fiddling. No more exporting three times to find the one that is not fuzzy.
Most finance tools default to a dark theme, which looks great on screen and terrible pasted into a light-background newsletter, where it sits in a jarring black rectangle. Quadesto lets you choose a light or dark background per export, so the image sits naturally inside the email or document it is going into. Match your publication once and every chart comes out consistent. The chart stops looking like a screenshot from another app and starts looking like part of your own piece.
An exported image travels — readers forward it, screenshot it again, drop it into their own notes — so it should carry your name with it. Quadesto bakes your branding into the exported file so attribution survives the trip. Removable branding is included from the £39 Creator plan, and full white-label is available on the £149 Pro plan, with no per-seat pricing on either. IR teams and research desks get a clean, on-brand asset without a designer in the loop.
Email cannot show interactivity — that is a genuine limit of the medium, and the high-resolution PNG is the right answer there. But Slack, Substack and most social platforms do render rich links, and a published Quadesto chart URL unfurls into a preview card via Open Graph and oEmbed, showing a chart image that links through to the live, interactive version. So you lead with the clean image in the inbox and let curious readers click through to explore the data themselves.
