Format	Best for	Notes
PDF	Papers, posters, theses	Vector, so it stays sharp at any size. Text stays selectable. All plates gives one page per plate
SVG	Editing in Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity	Vector; every well and label is a separate editable object
PNG	Slides, documents, chat	150 / 300 / 600 / 1200 dpi. The DPI is stored in the file, so Word and PowerPoint size it correctly

• Plates: Current or All. For PNG and SVG with All, you're asked where to save each file in turn.
• Appearance comes from the Figure and Layers tabs.

Which resolution?

300 dpi is the usual journal minimum for raster images. 600 dpi suits line-art-like figures such as this one. Use PDF or SVG whenever the journal accepts vector files.
