How to save your Tumblr data

To save your blog, first go to the Account icon in the upper right hand of the dashboard. 

Then, choose Settings and the blog you want to save, then click the Export button at the bottom of the new screen. 

The site will start processing your blog information (which will take forever, btw).

Once Tumblr is done processing your blog, a Download backup button will appear. Click on it and download the ZIP file to your device.

You’ll need to repeat this process for every Tumblr blog you have on your account.

What does the export save?

According to Tumblr, there are certain parts of the blog that an export will save, including:

• The blog’s messaging conversations in XML format
• The blog’s posts in XML format
• HTML files for all of your posts, including drafts, flagged posts, reblogs, private posts and hidden posts
• A media folder that contains the media from your posts
