Import and Export

Use JSON export when you want a durable backup or need to move a board to another browser profile, machine, or deployment. MikroCanvas board files include the board title, viewport, elements, style information, and timestamps.

Export formats

Section titled “Export formats”
  • JSON exports a .mikrocanvas.json file that can be imported later.
  • SVG exports a portable vector image.
  • PNG exports a raster image for sharing in tools that do not handle SVG well.

Import

Section titled “Import”

Import accepts MikroCanvas JSON board files. Imported boards are copied into local storage as new boards so the source file remains an external backup.

Backup habit

Section titled “Backup habit”

For important boards, keep a JSON export next to the project it describes. Browser storage is convenient, but explicit files are better for long-lived records.
