How to Save Idle Breakout: Export and Import Your Progress
Back up Idle Breakout’s browser save with Export and understand the risks before importing a save code.
Where is Idle Breakout progress saved?
The inspected official Idle Breakout client warns that its save file uses local browser storage and recommends using Export to back up progress. That means a browser’s local data matters; do not assume a separate website or another browser automatically has the same save.
The client includes EXPORT and IMPORT controls and an import prompt reading “Paste Import Data Here.” The developer’s 2019 update also describes adding import and export, with a reminder to use them carefully.
How to make a backup
- Open the save/settings controls in your version of Idle Breakout and find Export.
- Copy the save data the game provides and keep it somewhere private that you control.
- Make a fresh backup before changing browsers, devices or site data. Do not publish your save code or paste it into unknown services.
- Before you attempt an import, save a separate backup of the progress currently on the destination browser.
The exact location or appearance of controls can vary between builds. We inspected the official client labels but have not validated every mirror or cross-device recovery path.
How to import safely
Find Import, paste your own trusted save data into the game’s import prompt, and follow the instructions shown by that build. Importing save data can replace the progress you are currently using, so preserve the destination’s existing save first. Do not assume a code from another site, altered version or stranger will be compatible or safe.
After an import, compare your visible progress with your backup. If something is not as expected, stop before clearing browser data. This guide cannot guarantee recovery or compatibility between versions.
Is an export code the same as a cheat code?
No. The Export and Import controls described here are for backing up and restoring game data. A guide to third-party save codes or modified progress answers a different question and is outside the scope of this article.
