Unfortunately not. You can open a CSV file containing exported sticky notes in Excel and copy & paste from that into a Miro board to create sticky notes, but that’s it. Any other content (e.g. shapes, cards) wouldn’t be imported in that manner.

@rockstar - Because there is no “Export a board to CSV” format, I will need to ask you to please clarify what object type(s) you exported as CVS, e.g., Sicky Notes, Cards, Shapes, Mind map nodes?

@rockstar - You can import CSV/spreadsheet cells into Miro as Sticky Notes, then you can switch the Sticky Note(s) to a different object type, e.g.:

@Robert Johnson, @Kiron Bondale, thank you for the answers.

It's very frustrating that you can't backup boards on the free plan. We are a small team that is not yet ready for additional costs. On the other hand, losing all the information accumulated in Miro would be a disaster.

I thought there was an option to use csv export-import as an alternative. But... Okay :(

@rockstar - You may want to explore at least one team member having a paid seat on a Consultant Plan which is $15/monthly USD. That person could then create unlimited boards which could be backed up, and could add the other free/non-team members as Guests on boards in that Consultant Plan. You would likely want to either share the logon info with someone else, should the sole admin leave the organization, or just have a minimum of two paid seats.

Two years later -- is this still impossible?

I am asking because very many presentations are translated, and the best way to translate is to export the original text and then import the translation. Many tools do that.

If you develop an online board which does not have this feature, then all your buzz on the front page is meaningless, you are behind the simplest presentation packages.

Where’s the dislike button? Missing too?

Hi @nemadeka,

I understand your frustration, and thank you for sharing this perspective. Currently, CSV import options in Miro are indeed limited to importing specific items, like sticky notes, but don’t allow full board restoration or broader content import. While Miro’s development team continuously considers feature requests, feedback like yours helps highlight user needs and priorities. I encourage you to submit your specific use case through the Miro Wish List or add to the relevant feature request posts in the community, where our product team regularly reviews suggestions. 

Thank you again, and I appreciate your patience as we work on evolving the platform!
