How to save all the projects at once?

[facundomontanaro]

Hello everyone!
Hope you’re doing great!

Is there any way we could save all the projects as .fig at once from an account?

I’ve been doing it manually for each project for a while now, but I’m in a scenario in which I need to save every project I’ve in my account to make a huge backup of every Figma file.

Hope this can be done, or will in a near future.
Please let me know if you have any information about this, that would be amazing!

Thanks in advance!

Backup: keeping .fig files for a long time is not a great idea. They are only good for temporary backups. E.g. files that you saved about 3-4 months ago probably won’t open in the current version of Figma as things get changed and updated. Yes, it probably be ok for a week or even a month, but I won’t advise to keep them for longer than that.

There was a discussion about this before too:

How can I automate my files backup (locally)?

There is no way to save all the projects locally and native in Figma. Maybe you can write a script to open each project and save as .fig file or a task automater. Idk how libraries will behave. There is one more thing, even if you make local copies, if fipocalypse (apocalypse of figma ), figma cannot be used offline.

Thanks Gleb!

This kinda s*cks a bit, don’t you think? Is there anything Figma’s team could do about this… in a future maybe?

We should be able to open any .fig file
