docs/manual/export.rst
While there are many :doc:libraries and frameworks </reference/support-for-tmx-maps> that work directly with Tiled maps, Tiled
also supports a number of additional file and export formats, as well as
:ref:exporting a map to an image <export-as-image>.
Exporting can be done by clicking File > Export. When triggering the menu
action multiple times, Tiled will only ask for the file name the first time.
Exporting can also be automated using the --export-map and
--export-tileset command-line parameters.
Several :ref:export-options are available, which are applied to maps
or tilesets before they are exported (without affecting the map
or tileset itself).

.. note::
When exporting on the command-line on Linux, Tiled will still need an
X server to run. To automate exports in a headless environment, you
can use a headless X server such as Xvfb_. In this case you would
run Tiled from the command-line as follows:
::
xvfb-run tiled --export-map ...
