Maybe I haven’t spotted it, but I think there’s no option to export drawings to non-vector formats like png or jpg. Of course I can export to a pdf and get a pixel image from there, but it would be nice if I could skip that step.

**The problem that this feature will solve:**

_I sometimes use drawings just to add additional model information when posting my models to 3D printing platforms. Having an option to export straight to a postable format would be great._

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**

More format options in the export dialogue for drawings, png and jpg would be sufficient. Additional resolution options would be appreciated.

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**

_Posting drawings to the internet in common image formats without an additional conversion step doesn’t seem possible at the moment._
