Exporting Data from AnyDB
AnyDB makes it easy to import and export data, so you can move information between systems or keep backups for offline use. Whether you're working with PDFs, spreadsheets, JSON exports, or preparing integrations, AnyDB ensures you stay in control of your data.
We believe you own your data, and we give you multiple ways to export or import it at any time.
Exporting Data from AnyDB
You can export your data in several formats depending on your use case:
1. Download as PDF
- Export any Data Document or Page as a PDF.
- Useful for sharing, printing, or offline review.
To export a document as a PDF, open the document and then click on the more ... menu in the top-right corner. Select Export as PDF. Then select "Download as PDF" option.
2. Export as JSON
Export a Data Document or its contents in AnyDB’s native JSON format, which can be imported back into AnyDB later.
Export Options:
| Export Type | What It Includes |
|---|---|
| Document Only | The selected data document only (without any attachments or children) |
| Document + Children | The document and all its attached children items (files, pages, documents) |
| Children Only | Only the children of the document |
| Template | The template used to generate the item |
If the exported document includes files or images, the export will be packaged as a ZIP file containing both the JSON and associated attachments.
3. Export to Excel (.xlsx)
You can export data to Excel in two ways:
- Single Document – Exports the item in a spreadsheet format, retaining layout and structure.
- Bulk Export by Template – Export all child items of a given template (e.g., contacts) into a spreadsheet. Each row represents one item, and each column corresponds to a field.
4. Export to CSV
Similar to Excel exports, but in a CSV format:
- Bulk Export by Template – Export multiple items of a specific template into a CSV. Each row represents a single data document.
