Open the export dialog from the inbox toolbar, a selection, or a form's row menu:
| Format | Contents | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| CSV | All answers as a universal spreadsheet file | all plans |
| Excel (.xlsx) | Answers as a formatted workbook | Pro |
| JSON | All answers as structured, machine-readable data for other tools | Pro |
| One response as a clean document (incl. signature) | Pro | |
| ZIP archive | Spreadsheet (CSV, Excel or JSON) plus every uploaded file and signature, foldered per response, with a README | Pro |
Because your responses are end-to-end encrypted, exports are prepared in your browser: the data is decrypted on your machine, formatted, and saved directly to your disk. Keep the tab open during large exports; ZIP archives can optionally be password-protected.
If you use personalised links, every spreadsheet gains two columns beside Submission ID and Submitted At: From, the label of the link a response came through, and Note, whatever you wrote on that link for yourself. The JSON export carries the same pair per response. A response that arrived through the plain link leaves both empty, and a form with no personalised links exports exactly what it exported before. Export from a form's inbox while the link filter is set, and the file contains only that link's responses.
The export dialog asks you to confirm one honest sentence before starting: exported files are no longer encrypted — from that moment, their protection is in your hands. Every export start is also recorded in your account's audit trail.
Tip
For an end-of-year archive, export a password-protected ZIP per form — data, documents and signatures in one self-contained file.
