Introduction

Eagle ensures complete data portability and software openness. This article addresses concerns about data accessibility and explains how Eagle handles your files, ensuring you always maintain full control over your assets.

Key Features for Data Portability

One-click Export: Eagle allows you to export your entire data structure (including folders and files) back to your computer with just a few clicks. This ensures easy data management, whether for backup or migration between devices. For detailed steps, please refer to: Export to Computer
File Format and Metadata Support: Some file formats inherently don't support additional metadata (such as tags or source links). This limitation exists in many applications, not just Eagle. Even industry-standard software like Adobe Bridge uses specific methods to store this information, which doesn't mean your data is "locked in."
Data Transfer and Compatibility: Transferring data organized in Eagle to other systems or software is straightforward. Eagle doesn't hide or encrypt your data in any way, fully supporting data openness and transferability. In fact, many developers and companies have already created conversion tools based on this openness.

Enhanced Openness with Plugins

Eagle's 4.0 version introduced a plugin system, further demonstrating our commitment to software openness. This makes it entirely possible for you or other developers to create conversion tools from Eagle to Adobe Bridge or other software.

Important Notes
