# Image rendering
Grafana supports automatic rendering of panels and dashboards as PNG images. This allows Grafana to automatically generate images of your panels to include in alert [Notifications]({{ < relref "../alerting/notifications.md" >}}).
Grafana supports automatic rendering of panels and dashboards as PNG images. This allows Grafana to automatically generate images of your panels to include in [alert notifications]({{< relref "../alerting/notifications.md" >}}).
When an image is being rendered the PNG-image is temporarily written to the file system. When an image is rendered, the PNG image is temporary written to the `png` folder in the Grafana `data` folder.
A background job runs every 10 minutes and removes temporary images. You can configure how long an image should be stored before being removed by configuring the [temp-data-lifetime]({{ < relref "/installation/configuration/#temp-data-lifetime" > }}) setting.

Minimum free memory recommendation is 16GB on the system doing the rendering.
Rendering images can require a lot of memory, mainly because Grafama creates browser instances in the background for the actual rendering. If multiple images are rendered in parallel, then the rendering has a bigger memory footprint. One advantage of using the remote rendering service is that the rendering will be done on the remote system, so your local system resources will not be affected by rendering.
