How to Export Your Dashboard: ZIP Download + Email Attachment

Your dashboard lives online, but sometimes you need it offline. Whether you want a backup, need to present without internet, or just want a copy in your inbox, VibeFactory gives you two ways to export: download as a ZIP file or send it directly to your email.

In this guide

Why export your dashboard?

Your VibeFactory dashboard is always accessible online via its unique URL. But there are situations where you need a portable copy:

🔌

Offline presentations

Present your data in meeting rooms without relying on WiFi. The exported dashboard works entirely offline.

📦

Backup and archival

Keep a snapshot of your dashboard at a specific point in time. Useful for quarterly reports or compliance records.

📧

Email to yourself

Get a copy in your inbox so you can access it from any device, forward it later, or keep it in your email archive.

🌐

Self-hosting

Deploy the exported files on your own server, company intranet, or any static hosting service like Netlify or GitHub Pages.

Method 1: Export as ZIP

The ZIP export downloads your entire dashboard as a self-contained static website. It includes all the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and embedded data needed to run the dashboard in any browser.

How to export as ZIP:

  1. 1

    Open your project

    Navigate to your dashboard in VibeFactory and click on it to open the editor.

  2. 2

    Click the Export tab

    In the left sidebar, find and click the Export icon (download arrow).

  3. 3

    Click "Export" next to "Export as ZIP"

    The system will build and package your dashboard. The download starts automatically.

  4. 4

    Unzip and open index.html

    Extract the ZIP file and double-click index.html. Your dashboard opens in the browser, fully functional offline.

What's in the ZIP: The export contains the production build of your dashboard — minified HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and your data as a JSON file. Typical size is 200KB–2MB. No server required to run it.

Method 2: Export via Email

Prefer to get a copy in your inbox? The email export sends the same ZIP file as an attachment to your account email. One click and it's in your inbox within seconds.

How to export via email:

  1. 1

    Open the Export tab

    Same as above — open your project and click Export in the sidebar.

  2. 2

    Click "Send" next to "Export via Email"

    The button is right below the ZIP export option. Click it and the dashboard will be sent to your account email.

  3. 3

    Check your inbox

    You'll receive an email from VibeFactory.AI with the ZIP file attached. The email includes instructions for opening the dashboard.

Security note: The email is always sent to your account email address. You cannot change the recipient. This prevents the feature from being used to send unsolicited emails to others. To share with colleagues, download the ZIP and attach it manually, or share the live dashboard URL.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the exported dashboard offline? ▼

Yes. The ZIP export contains a fully self-contained static website (HTML, CSS, JS). Just unzip the file and open index.html in any browser. No server or internet connection needed.

Can I email the dashboard to someone else? ▼

The Export via Email feature sends the dashboard to your own account email for security reasons. To share with others, download the ZIP and attach it manually, or share the live dashboard URL directly.

What file format is the export? ▼

Dashboards are exported as a ZIP archive containing the built static files: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and any embedded data. The ZIP typically ranges from 200KB to 2MB depending on the dashboard complexity.

Does the exported dashboard include my data? ▼

Yes. For static dashboards (built from uploaded CSV/Excel files), your data is embedded in the export as a JSON file. The dashboard loads and visualizes this data entirely offline.

Is there a limit on how many times I can export? ▼

ZIP downloads have no daily limit. Email exports are limited to 5 per day on the free plan and 100 per day on paid plans to prevent abuse.

Can I export a live dashboard (connected to Google Sheets or a database)? ▼

Export is currently available for static dashboards only (built from uploaded files). Live dashboards that connect to external data sources at runtime cannot be fully exported as static files since they need a server to fetch data. Share the live URL instead.
