How to back up your Suno library
Suno limits how much audio you can take out. It does not limit the words, the prompts or the settings behind it, and for most of your catalogue that is the only part that will ever leave the platform.

Why this matters more than it used to
Before September, backing up meant downloading the audio. That option is mostly gone: a free account gets seven files ever, a Pro account twenty a month. If you have hundreds of songs, the audio for most of them is staying where it is.
What is not capped is everything around the audio. The lyrics you wrote or edited, the style prompt that produced the sound, which model made it, how long it is, when you made it, how often it was played. All of that comes through your browser while you look at your own library, and none of it counts against anything.
If Suno ever changes again, loses something, or you close the account, that archive is what you still have. You can regenerate audio from a prompt. You cannot regenerate a prompt from silence.
What a backup should contain
- Lyrics exactly as they were, including the section markers
- The style prompt, which is the part most people cannot remember later
- Model and version, so you know what produced the sound
- Length, creation date, play and like counts
- A link back to the song on Suno
- A record of which songs you downloaded, since commercial rights hang on that
Doing it with Suno Manager
Install the extension, open your library on suno.com, and scroll through it once. Everything you scroll past is kept locally. The side panel shows how many songs are captured, how many have lyrics, and how many hours of music that adds up to.
It only keeps what you actually look at. There is no crawler working through your library in the background, because automated bulk access to Suno's API is exactly the behaviour that got tools in trouble. Thirty seconds of scrolling does the job.
Three ways to export
JSON
A complete backup
Every field, machine readable, and the only format that can be loaded back in. This is the one to keep somewhere safe.
CSV
Spreadsheets
Open it in Excel, Numbers or Sheets to sort by style, model, length or play count.
Markdown
Reading and printing
One section per song with the style, the model and the full lyrics laid out as real lines.
Export writes a file straight to your computer. Nothing is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it to: the extension has no server and no account.
Keeping the archive honest
Two habits are worth the small effort. Export a JSON every so often, because the archive lives in your browser and browsers get reinstalled. And when you do download audio, let the file land with the lyrics beside it, so the song and its words stay together on disk instead of in two unrelated places.
What about the audio you can still take?
Spend it deliberately. The limits page covers what each plan gets and how to avoid burning one on a near-duplicate take, and the download guide walks through Suno's current flow.
