I have SQL Server and I want to get a graphical query plan. Then, I want to save it as a .jpg or .png. Is this possible? What tools are available? I am new and can't seem to find much interest in this kind of work - thanks for any help.

Saving query plan as image wasting a lot of information, via mouse hover you get more details of it, why do you need that ? it is better to save it as sqlplan file. – ahmed abdelqader May 07 '17 at 21:20

Its just an experiment. What if I wanted to get a query's plan - similar to PostgreSQL EXPLAIN - and store it as text? (SQL Server) – audlift-bit May 07 '17 at 21:52
