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, and to anyone who has bought a download pack.
Option 2 — My designs (every paid plan)
The Designs button in the studio toolbar stores the design in your account:
- Tap Designs, give the design a name, save. Opened a saved design and changed it? Save changes updates it; Save as new keeps both.
- Find it under My designs in the same Designs window, with a preview thumbnail and date.
- Open continues exactly where you left off — on any device you log into. Delete frees the slot.
- Share link copies a link anyone can open: it loads a copy of the design in their own studio, and your design stays unchanged. Stop sharing whenever you like.
- Creator: 5 saved designs
- Business: 10 saved designs
- Business Plus: 25 saved designs
- Business Pro: 50 saved designs
Workflow that works: keep repeat clients as saved designs ("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.
What about download packs?
A download pack (10 clean downloads for $2, or 100 for $18) removes the watermark from your PDF downloads and prints — one credit per download or print, and credits never expire. Buying any pack also unlocks .mbs project files: save your project to your computer and open it again later, for good, even after your credits are used up. My designs (saved in your account) comes with any paid plan.
| Feature | Free | Download pack | Creator / Business | Business Plus / Pro |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Watermark-free PDF & print | — | ✓ (1 credit each) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Save & open .mbs project files | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Save & share designs in your account | — | — | ✓ (5 / 10) | ✓ (25 / 50) |
If you only need a few clean prints, a pack is the cheapest way — and you can still keep the project as an .mbs file to reprint later. If you want your designs stored in your account and reopened on any device, any paid plan does it.
