title: "Exporting your data"
description: "Download everything in your Reactive Resume account, including resumes, cover letters and job applications, as JSON files in a single zip archive."
---
You can download a copy of everything you have stored in Reactive Resume in one step. Use it as a backup, to keep a record before [deleting your account](/guides/deleting-your-account), or to take your data elsewhere.
## Download the archive
<Steps>
<Step title="Open Your data">
Select your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then **Settings**. On the **Account** page, scroll to **Your data**.
</Step>
<Step title="Select Export">
Next to **Export everything**, select **Export**. Your browser downloads a file named `reactive-resume-` followed by today's date, for example `reactive-resume-2026-09-30.zip`.
</Step>
</Steps>

## What's in the zip
| File | Contents |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `account.json` | Your name, email, username, photo address, whether your email is verified, and when the account was created and last updated. |
| `applications.json` | Every job application with its status, job details, notes, contacts, follow-ups and activity. |
| `resumes/` | One JSON file per resume, including those in the trash. Each holds the resume's name, public address, tags, sharing settings and the full resume content. |
| `letters/` | One JSON file per cover letter. |
Each resume and letter file is named after the document plus a unique ID, so two documents with the same name don't overwrite each other.
The archive doesn't include your password, passkeys, two-step verification codes, API keys or AI provider keys. Uploaded images, such as resume photos, are listed by their address rather than included as files.
<Tip>
To restore a resume or letter, extract the archive and import its individual JSON file from `resumes/` or `letters/`.
Resume content and design are restored as a new document; account settings, document sharing settings and application
links are not restored. The whole zip is an account backup, not a bulk-import file. You can also download one resume
as **JSON** from the **Share** sheet. See [Importing resumes](/guides/importing-resumes).
