Google Takeout

Using Google Takeout, you can export and download your data from the Google products you use, like your email, calendar, and photos. In a few easy steps, create an archive to keep for your records or use the data in another service.

Note: Downloading your data does not delete it from Google’s servers.

First, choose which products to include

  1. Visit the Google Takeout page (https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout). You might have to sign in to your Google Account.

  2. Choose which Google products to include in your download. To see more details and options for a product, select the down arrow.

  3. Select Next.

  4. Choose your archive's File type. Usually, ZIP is the best format to choose.

Note: If you have Google Play Music data in your account, your content isn't included when you create an archive.

Next, choose how your archive is delivered

  1. For "Delivery method," select Send download link via email.

  2. Choose Create archive.

  3. In the email that arrives, click Download archive.

  4. To download your data, follow the onscreen instructions.

When your archive is created, we'll email you a link to its location. Depending on the amount of information in your account, this process could take a few minutes or several hours. Most people get the link to their archive the same day that they request it.
