Easy Tech TutsHow to Export Asana Gantt Chart Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Asana's Timeline view is its version of a Gantt chart, and there's no single export button that produces a polished PDF automatically, so this guide covers the practical workarounds. You'll learn how to pull raw schedule data as CSV, print the visual chart to PDF, and share a live view-only link with stakeholders instead.
01Switch to the Timeline view
Open your Asana project and switch to the horizontal Timeline view tab to see the Gantt-style layout.
02Export raw data as CSV
Open the project actions dropdown menu and use Sync/Export to download your schedule data as a standard CSV file for use in spreadsheets.
03Prepare the visual chart for printing
Adjust date zoom filters on the Timeline so the chart fits cleanly before triggering your browser's print function.
04Print to PDF with the right layout
Use your browser's print dialog to save the chart as a PDF, setting landscape orientation and adjusting scale to avoid cutting off timeline bars.
05Share a live view-only link
Generate a shareable, view-only link so external stakeholders can see the current Timeline without needing an Asana account.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a native one-click PDF export for the Timeline view?
No, Asana doesn't offer a direct PDF export button for Timeline, so printing the browser view to PDF is the standard workaround.
Can I edit the CSV export in Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes, the exported CSV contains your raw schedule data and opens cleanly in either spreadsheet tool for further analysis.
Why does my printed Gantt chart get cut off?
This usually happens when the print layout is set to portrait or the scale is too large, so switch to landscape and adjust the scale before printing.
Do external stakeholders need an Asana account to view a shared timeline link?
No, a view-only shareable link lets people see the live Timeline without creating or logging into an Asana account.
