# <a id="charts.remoteexportservice"></a>Exporting Charts Using a Remote Export Service

Vaadin Charts has built-in export functionality that renders the chart to a file on a remote export server. By default, it uses the public [Highcharts export server](https://export.highcharts.com), but you can also [configure your own](#charts.remoteexportservice.custom).

> **Caution: Chart Data Is Sent to the Export Server**
>
> To render the exported file, the chart’s configuration — including its data — is sent to the export server. With the default settings, this means sending the data to a third-party server. If your charts contain sensitive data, set up your own export server instead.

You can enable the built-in export menu by calling `setExporting(true)` on the chart configuration.

```java
chart.getConfiguration().setExporting(true);
```

To configure it further, you can provide an `Exporting` object with custom settings.

```java
// Create the export configuration
Exporting exporting = new Exporting(true);

// Customize the name of the downloaded file
exporting.setFilename("mychartfile");

// Use the exporting configuration in the chart
chart.getConfiguration().setExporting(exporting);
```

Once exporting is enabled, the chart displays a menu with printing and download options.

To use your own export server instead of the public one, [set up an export server](https://www.highcharts.com/docs/export-module/setting-up-the-server) and configure its URL in the `Exporting` configuration as follows:

```java
exporting.setUrl("https://my.own.server.com");
```
