Save Your Badge Projects: Project Files & Cloud Storage
A badge project is real work — the photo positioned just right, colours tuned, curved text aligned. The studio gives you two ways to keep that work: downloadable .mbs project files, and cloud saves in your account that reopen on any device.
Option 1 — Project files (.mbs)
The Save icon in the studio downloads your whole project — images, layout, text, stickers, settings — as a single .mbs file. The Open icon loads it back. Great for archiving finished client jobs or moving a project between computers by hand. Available on Creator and above.
Option 2 — Cloud projects (Business Plus & Pro)
The cloud icon next to Save stores the project in your account:
- Tap the cloud icon, give the project a name, save.
- Find it on your Account page under My Projects — with a preview thumbnail, date, and badge count.
- Open continues exactly where you left off — on any device you log into. Delete frees the slot.
- Business Plus: 25 saved projects
- Business Pro: 50 saved projects
Workflow that works: keep repeat clients as cloud projects ("Sharma School — sports day", "Café Blue — staff badges"). Next order, open the project, swap the names, print. Two minutes instead of twenty.
Which should you use?
- Cloud for active and repeat work — fastest to reopen, works across devices.
- .mbs files for long-term archives and backups beyond your slot limit.
- Both together: cloud for the working copy, an .mbs download when the job's done.
See plan details on the pricing page — cloud project storage is listed on the Business Plus and Business Pro cards.

What's the difference between .mbs files and cloud projects?
An .mbs file is a downloadable copy of the project you store yourself (Creator plan and above). Cloud projects are stored in your account and reopen anywhere you log in (Business Plus/Pro). Use cloud for active work, .mbs for archives.
