Export and import workflows

n8n saves workflows in JSON format. You can export your workflows as JSON files or import JSON files into your n8n library.

You can export a workflow as a JSON file in two ways:

• Download: Select Workflow menu {.off-glb} > Download. This will download the workflow as a JSON file.
