Hi @Jasmine84! Have you had a chance to review the [Exporting Tutorial](https://docs.qiime2.org/2017.12/tutorials/exporting/)? That guide will get you up to speed when it comes to getting your data out of QIIME 2. As far as ITOL goes, there was a thread here a few weeks ago that might be relevant to you: > [@Loading Greengenes tree in iTOL](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/loading-greengenes-tree-in-itol/2319/3): > > Hi @Richard_Rodrigues! We can't really provide support for ITOL, since we don't develop it, but, they have [pretty nice docs](https://itol.embl.de/help.cgi#annot) that demonstrate how to prepare you annotation file. Using the Moving Pictures dataset, I prepared a phylogenetic tree, with taxonomic annotations, for viewing in ITOL using the following procedure: Export QIIME 2 Artifacts $ qiime tools export rooted-tree.qza --output-dir . $ qiime tools export taxonomy.qza --output-dir . $ ls rooted-tree.qza taxonomy.qza taxonomy… Thanks! Let us know if you get stuck or need any assistance! 🦖 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/file-conversion/2554)._
