# How do I backup my SimDif website?

> **Topic**: Backing up a SimDif website by downloading a site archive.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## Download an archive of your site

On a SimDif Pro site, users can download a backup of their website as a simple HTML archive. To download the site files from the SimDif application, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Site Settings (yellow button, top right).
2. Find “Download this site”.
3. Select the “Download” button.
4. Choose where to save the zip file.

This backup feature is restricted by platform due to operating system limitations. While SimDif offers a mobile-complete workflow with the same features on all devices, this specific tool does not work on the iOS app because Apple does not allow saving these files directly to the device. However, because SimDif uses real-time cross-device sync, users can log into their account on an Android device or via a web browser on any computer to download the backup of the site they created on iOS.
