## Summary

The content you create or upload on Website stays yours. You download the whole site as a ZIP on every plan, and you can read its files in the Code tab.

## Key facts

- Standard web files: A site is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript with its images, so the pages in the archive open in any browser and can be hosted somewhere else.
- Functions included: The archive also holds the code of your functions. The parts that use the site database or the site email rely on Website to run.
- Photos and data on their own: The backups in the Files tab download as a ZIP, and the database exports as a file of its own, whenever you want.

Your website belongs to you, and you can take it anywhere

## How it works

1. **Open Settings**: In Studio, open the Settings tab of the site and scroll down to the Export the content card, where the ZIP export lives.
2. **Generate the export**: Next to Download the website as a ZIP, start the export. The archive is prepared with every site file, and your latest exports stay listed so you can download them again.
3. **Keep your copy**: Save the ZIP on your computer or in your own storage. After each export there is a waiting time before you can generate the next one.
