How to Export Your PromptPerfect Data Before the Shutdown (Step-by-Step)

PromptPerfect goes offline September 1, 2026. User data gets deleted around October 1. If you have saved prompts, optimization history, or API integrations, you need to pull that out yourself. Nobody is going to email you a backup zip the day before.

This is the detailed export guide. The short version: log in, find Settings, download everything you can, then copy anything the export missed. Plan 30 minutes for a small library, two hours if you were serious about it.

Before you start: what you're saving

PromptPerfect stored several types of data depending on how you used it.

Saved prompts and folders: the optimized versions you bookmarked, often tagged by project or model.

Optimization history: before/after pairs from Auto-Tune runs. Useful if you want to see what the rewriter changed.

Arena results: side-by-side model comparisons, if you used that feature.

API keys and Prompt-as-a-Service configs: relevant only if you integrated PromptPerfect into an app.

Billing and account info: export prompts first; cancel the subscription separately so you don't get charged for dead months.

You don't need to save everything. If you have 200 prompts and use 12 regularly, export all of them but prioritize the dozen that matter.

Step 1: Log in while you still can

Go to promptperfect.jina.ai and sign in with the account you used for PromptPerfect. New signups closed in early June 2026, but existing accounts still work until September 1.

If you forgot which email you used, check your inbox for PromptPerfect receipts or Jina AI billing emails. Search for "PromptPerfect" or "Jina AI".

Can't log in? Try password reset now, not in August. Support will be slower as the deadline approaches.

Step 2: Bulk export via Settings

Most users can download their library in one shot. The exact menu label varies slightly by account version, but the path is consistently under Settings:

1. Open your PromptPerfect dashboard.
2. Click your profile icon or account menu.
3. Go to Settings.
4. Look for Export Data, Data Export, or Settings → Data → Export.
5. Choose a format. JSON preserves structure (folders, tags, metadata). CSV works if you want to open prompts in a spreadsheet. Plain text is fine for a simple backup.
6. Download the file and save it somewhere that isn't your Downloads folder. Move it to a cloud drive, a Git repo, or external storage the same day.

According to PromptPerfect's own documentation and third-party migration guides from Prompt Builder and PromptAI360, the export includes prompt text, optimization history, and saved configurations. Verify the file isn't empty before you close the tab.

Step 3: If bulk export isn't available on your account

Some users report no export button, or an export that only covers part of their library. Jina never shipped a public bulk-export API, so manual backup is the fallback.

Manual copy workflow:

1. Open your saved prompts list. Sort by last modified, newest first.
2. For each prompt you care about, copy three things into a local file: the original input, the optimized output, and the target model (ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc.).
3. Add a one-line note about what the prompt is for. Future you won't remember.
4. Use --- between prompts if you're keeping one big Markdown file, or one file per prompt if you prefer folders.

For 50+ prompts, this gets tedious. Do it in two sessions. First pass: export the 20 you use weekly. Second pass: skim the rest and skip anything you haven't touched in a year.

Browser trick: open each prompt in a tab, use a clipboard manager, paste into Notion or Obsidian in batch. Still manual, but faster than retyping.

Step 4: Export API keys and developer configs

If you used PromptPerfect's API or Prompt-as-a-Service, those endpoints die September 1, 2026. The API stops responding; keys become useless.

1. Open Settings → API or Developer section.
2. Copy your API key to a secrets manager or .env file you control. Label it PROMPTPERFECT_DEPRECATED so you don't accidentally call a dead endpoint in October.
3. Search your codebase for PromptPerfect URLs and API references. grep -r promptperfect or search GitHub if you use org-wide code search.
4. Document which endpoints you called and what they did. You'll need this when wiring a replacement optimizer.

No consumer tool is a drop-in API swap today. Plan to rebuild the integration or drop automated optimization until you pick a new backend.

Step 5: Grab Arena and history data

Arena comparisons don't always land in the standard export. If you relied on side-by-side model tests:

1. Open Arena history in the dashboard.
2. Screenshot or copy the prompt plus each model's output for comparisons you want to keep.
3. Store alongside your main export with a clear filename like arena-comparisons-env.

Optimization history (before/after pairs) usually comes in the bulk export. Spot-check one entry: open the JSON and confirm you see both the input and optimized versions.

Step 6: Cancel billing

Export first, cancel second. You want access until you've confirmed your backup is complete.

1. Settings → Billing or Subscription.
2. Cancel auto-renewal. If you're on an annual plan, check whether Jina offers prorated refunds for remaining months. Their support page may have a refund form; URLs change during wind-down, so search "PromptPerfect refund" on jina.ai if the direct link breaks.
3. Save the cancellation confirmation email.

Don't pay for September if the product is dead on the 1st.

Step 7: Store the export somewhere durable

Bad places: Downloads folder, desktop, single laptop with no backup.

Good places:

• Private GitHub repo (prompts are intellectual property, treat them accordingly)
• Notion or Obsidian with sync
• Google Drive or iCloud in a folder named promptperfect-export-2026
• Encrypted zip on an external drive if prompts contain client data

Make two copies if the prompts matter for work. One cloud, one local.

Step 8: Re-import into your next tool

No major alternative auto-imports PromptPerfect's export format today. Migration is paste-and-rebuild, not one-click sync.

For text and chat prompts: open promptmake.net/text, paste an exported prompt, hit Enhance, and save the result in your own system. PromptMake rewrites for your target model the way Auto-Tune did. Free tier: 3 generations per day without sign-up.

For image prompts (Midjourney, FLUX, Stable Diffusion): same flow on /text with the Image tab selected, or use /image if you're working from reference photos.

For library-heavy workflows: Prompt Builder (promptbuilder.cc) lets you recreate prompts in a workspace with tags and search. Manual entry, but you get a proper library afterward.

Realistic time estimate: 15 minutes if you had 10 prompts and a working bulk export. 1–2 hours if you're rebuilding 50+ by hand.

Export checklist

1. Log into promptperfect.jina.ai
2. Settings → Export Data (JSON or CSV)
3. Verify the download isn't empty
4. Manual-copy any prompts the export missed
5. Copy API keys and grep your codebase if you used the API
6. Save Arena comparisons separately if needed
7. Store two copies in durable locations
8. Cancel subscription after backup is confirmed
9. Re-enhance top prompts in your replacement tool this week

Deadline: September 1, 2026 for access. October 1, 2026 for data deletion.

Frequently asked questions

Does PromptPerfect have a bulk export?

Yes, for most accounts. Go to Settings → Export Data (or Settings → Data → Export) and download your library as JSON, CSV, or text. If the button is missing on your account, use the manual copy workflow above.

What format should I export?

JSON if you want structure preserved. CSV if you want to filter and sort in Excel or Google Sheets. Plain text if you just want readable backups.

When is the last day to export?

September 1, 2026 is the last day the service works. Data deletion follows around October 1. Don't wait until the final week.

Can I import my export into PromptMake automatically?

Not automatically. Paste individual prompts into promptmake.net/text and use Enhance to refresh them for your target model. Save the outputs wherever you keep snippets.

What if I never created a PromptPerfect account?

If you only used PromptPerfect without saving prompts, there's nothing to export. Pick a replacement and move on. See our main shutdown guide on this blog for alternatives.

Will my API integration keep working until September?

Yes, until September 1, 2026. After that, endpoints return errors. Migrate automated workflows before the deadline.
