# How to Export and Import Slideshows

It is possible to export slideshows from MetaSlider and import them to a new website.

This first step will show you how to export all the data for your slideshows, including the settings.

Go to "MetaSlider", then "Settings & Help", then "Export".

- Clicking the "Export" button will export all of your slideshows into a single data file. You can use this file to restore the slideshows on another website.
- You can use the buttons next to each slideshow to choose which ones to export.

Your exported file will download to your desktop. The file will have a name such as metaslider-export-june-2-local-2022-06-06T19 25 02.556Z.json.

- On the new site, go to "MetaSlider", then "Settings & Help", then "Import".
- Click the "Upload file" button.
