Backup & Restore
One file holds everything, images included.
In chat, open the actions menu (top right), then Tools, then Database.
Leave the checkboxes as they are and pick Download local SQLite file. Save it somewhere durable, not just the device it came from. Custom provider API keys are inside, so treat the file as private.
Import SQLite file replaces everything in this browser with the file's contents. The swap only happens once the replacement is built and verified, so a failed import leaves your data alone.
Backups from another account or an older version restore fine. Use this to move between devices, browsers, or guest and signed-in use.
Images dominate the size, and browsers get unreliable past roughly 500 MB.
If the download fails, back up again with Include media off. That keeps every chat, character and setting, and stays small. Save images separately from the gallery.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| The download fails or the tab crashes | Too big. Back up again with Include media off. |
| The app looks empty after a crash or update | Do not create anything new. Restore your latest backup. |
| The summary mentions skipped rows | Normal. Existing rows are not duplicated. |
| On iPhone the file lands somewhere odd | It goes to Files. Pick it from there, and move it to a cloud folder. |
