How to export high-resolution figures from QIIME2 visualizations for publication?

I am preparing a manuscript on the metagenomic analysis using QIIME2, and I'm facing issues with figure quality.

My problem:

I have QIIME2 visualization files (.qzv) containing alpha diversity plots (Shannon index, Simpson index), rarefaction curves, and taxonomic barplots. When I view these in my browser (index.html), I can only find .jsonp files in the data folder. I took screenshots of the plots and inserted them into my Word document, but the resolution is very poor (unsuitable for publication).

You can import your .gzv format files into https://view.qiime2.org/ . Then export high quality plots as SVG/PNG from the viewer.

They have help page available here: https://view.qiime2.org/about/#/
