How to export your Freshdesk data

Last checked 28 September 2026

Answer

Go to Admin then Account then Account Details then Export data and click Export. Only an Account Administrator can reach the Account tab, and the file is XML covering tickets, solutions, forums and the customer list, which Freshdesk says needs a developer to make readable. Past exports, download progress and a Details window sit under Admin then Accounts exports.

What it holds

Support tickets, knowledge base solutions, forum posts, and contact and company records.

Find the size

No storage figure is shown; the Accounts exports Details window lists only the selected time period and the ticket, contact and company fields. Quote a ticket count from an Analytics report instead, exported as CSV, PDF or XLSX by email from Analytics then the report then Export to Email.

What to enter on the form

Freshdesk in records, and the year your company started using it. Seller form
