Exporting and importing content from Miro to Zoom Whiteboard

Users can migrate content from Miro to Zoom Whiteboard by exporting their Miro boards as PDF files, which can then be imported directly into Zoom Whiteboard. Once uploaded, they can select the imported PDF and extract its content using a Miro-optimized converter for an enhanced transition.

For data-heavy use cases such as tables and kanban boards, users can also use copy and paste to preserve structure and metadata more accurately.

Users can also migrate content using our available APIs to automate content transfer. Learn more about creating a new whiteboard by import.

Zoom Whiteboard supports conversion of Text, Notes, Shapes, Connectors, Labels, Frames, and Images into fully editable components. Any other contents will be converted as shapes or images. For best results, organize your Miro content before exporting and select content directly during export to ensure all elements are included.

How to export and import content from Miro to Zoom Whiteboard

Export board as vector PDF in Miro

  1. Sign in to Miro.
  2. Open your desired board. 
  3. In the top toolbar, click the More menu .
  4. Go to Board, then Export then Save as image.
    Note: It is recommended not to choose the Export as PDF option as this may result in undesired export results. Only content inside frames is included, and each frame is exported as a separate page. Using Vector (PDF) ensures all selected content is exported without requiring frames and leads to better conversion results in Zoom Whiteboard.
  5. Select the content you want to export by dragging across the board.
  6. In the export settings, choose Vector (PDF) and click Export to save the PDF file to your computer.

    Once complete, a new whiteboard is created for each uploaded Miro board, and the content from each PDF is extracted into its respective whiteboard.
