Export data from Freelo
A complex data export from Freelo can be useful if you are terminating a paid plan or want to have a regular complete backup. The export includes everything from comments to files. The data will be emailed to you in a ZIP file. Bear in mind that the export might take some time (approx. 1-2 days).
The exported data can be imported back to Freelo with some help of a programmer. The export is structured to preserve key data such as project/task names and comments.
Go to Settings via the avatar in the top right corner. Find the Import & Export section in the top bar.
Below the page, click on Export data from Freelo and then Request Data Export.
You will get a warning that it will take some time to prepare the data. Once the export is ready, it will be sent to your email address you used to register. You can also find it directly on the export page in Freelo.
Data from Freelo is exported in a JSON file format. You can open it to read in text editors. For example NotePad++, which is suitable for Windows users, and TextEdit, which is suitable for MacOs users.
The file with exported data can also be opened online, for example via JSON editor online or Online JSON viewer and Formatter.
TIP on exporting to PDF in Freelo

You then have three actions to choose from:
