Export Formats

PrivStack uses standard, open formats for import and export. Each plugin defines its own supported formats — check the plugin’s documentation for specifics.

How It Works

Every plugin can register import and export capabilities. When you go to Settings > Import/Export, you’ll see the available formats for each active plugin in your workspace. Third-party plugins can add their own formats too.

Common Formats

Plugins typically support industry-standard formats:

  • Markdown (.md) — Rich text content
  • JSON — Structured data with full metadata
  • CSV — Spreadsheet-compatible tabular data
  • ICS (.ics) — Calendar events (iCalendar standard)
  • vCard (.vcf) — Contact information
  • OPML — Feed subscriptions
  • OFX / QIF — Financial data

Full Backup

Encrypted Backup

  • Contains all data from every active plugin
  • Encrypted with your master password
  • Recommended for archival and disaster recovery

Plain Export

  • Plugin-by-plugin export in standard formats
  • Not encrypted — handle with care

Data Portability

Your data is never locked in. Every plugin must support at least one standard export format, ensuring you can always take your data with you.
