Migrating from Cloud to Self-Hosted: Is it possible to export workflows?

Questions
1

Hi everyone,

I’m new to n8n

I am currently looking into using n8n Cloud, but I might want to migrate to a self-hosted instance in the future.

Before I commit, I would like to know: if I decide to make this switch later on, is it possible to easily export all my workflows from the Cloud version and import them into a self-hosted setup?

Are there any limitations I should be aware of regarding exporting workflows, credentials, or execution data?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @driss_bunji Welcome!
You can easily export your workflows from cloud and settle them up in your Self hosted n8n, credentials are something you need to set manually.

And for self hosted n8n instance, i recommend reading this:

Thanks Anshul. By any chance do you know how much time or account remains active.
For example: I need to use n8n from now until July and do not need it until end of year.
Do you know whether I could pause my subscription and find my workflows intact when back on it?
