Best practices would tell you not to do this because it's not always going to work, depending on Site type, language settings etc. But you can do it by following these steps:

  • Save site as a template in Solutions Gallery
  • Download the site template from solutions gallery to a file.
  • Upload the site template file to solution gallery

Save, download, and upload a SharePoint 2013 site as a template

You cannot use the template to create a new sitecollection but you can use the template to create a subsite within a different sitecollection, like described by Rafael. Just make sure that same sitecollection features are active on the site where you want to re-use the template.
