I need to create and save latex drawing so i can use there else where.

Im using the code

begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.8,domain=-2:20]

begin{axis}[

height = 11.7cm,

width = 15cm,

  axis lines=middle,

  grid=major,

  xmin=-2,

  xmax=10,

  ymin=-2,

  ymax=20,

   y label style={at={(axis description cs:0.5,-0.05)},anchor=north},

    x label style={at={(axis description cs:-0.05,.5)},rotate=0,anchor=south},

  xlabel=$y$,

  ylabel=$x$,

  xtick={-2,-1,0,...,14},

  ytick={-2,0,...,20},

  tick style={very thick},

  legend style={

  at={(rel axis cs:0,1)},

  anchor=north west,draw=none,inner sep=0pt,fill=gray!10}

]

addplot[black,thick,samples=1] {0};

draw[color=red, smooth] plot (x,x*x-8*x+16) node[above left] {$y = 3$};

draw (4,1.5) node[anchor=north]{(4,0)};

draw (1.2,16) node[anchor=east]{(0,16)};

draw (7,8)  node[anchor=west]{$y=x^2-8x+16$};

end{axis}

end{tikzpicture}  

and i want to save the image it creates as a png. I need to create multiple of these with differences to each image. So i need to create all the images with the exact scale and size so doing a screenshot of the page is not good enough.

  No, it wouldn't. Id you use documentclass[tikz]{standalone} this will produce a pdf of the size of the tikz graph. If you use the convert options of standalone appropriately, you can create automatically a png of the same page size.

  @JettieBaker I think marmot used your code directly, just adding the preamble and document environment, so the output is as you specified it. That said, expect for the fact that the node with $y = 3$ is clipped away as it's far outside the axis boundaries, I don't immediately see what is wrong with the output, you might have to be more specific.

  @TorbjørnT. Yes, this one is indeed not there. (But this has nothing to do with the conversion but with the fact that pgfplots clips it, I think. In fact, if I add clip=false to the axis options the node will be there, together with a curve that overshoots the axis by a large factor.)
