Raster Files
Several commands can be used to export objects into device-independent
raster images in the bitmap, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG formats.
Objects are displayed in the raster image as they appear on the screen, includ-
ing objects in shaded and rendered viewports.
File formats such as JPEG are compressed as they are created. Compressed
files take up less disk space, but they might not be readable by certain appli-
cations.

click Save.
