Import & Export

Export an investigation

From the investigation's information panel (side panel, nothing selected), open the ⋮ menu → Export. Several formats are available:

Format	Content	Use
.osintracker	Full export (entities, relationships, metadata)	Backup, sharing, re-import
HTML	Formatted report	Readable sharing in a browser
Markdown	Structured text report	Documentation, wiki
CSV	Table of entities	Analysis in a spreadsheet
JSON	Raw data	Integration, automated processing
PNG	Graph capture	Illustration, visual report

Import an investigation

From the investigations list, click Import and select a .osintracker file. The investigation is added to the list without overwriting existing data.

ID conflicts on re-import

A common case: you export an investigation from machine A, edit it on machine B, then re-import it on A. The entities and relationships then carry the same identifiers as those already present on A.

When you select the file, Osintracker analyzes its content and detects these conflicts:

• Some identifiers already exist → a warning tells you that all ids of the imported entities and relationships will be redefined. You can then:
  • Import: the investigation is added as an independent copy (named … (import)). All identifiers are reassigned, but internal links are preserved (relationships, favorites).
  • Cancel: no change.
• No conflict (for example a first import on a machine that never had this investigation) → the investigation is imported as-is, keeping its original identifiers.

This logic guarantees that a round-trip between machines never fails because of duplicate identifiers: on conflict, the import creates a separate copy instead of being blocked.

Export the graph as an image

In the graph toolbar, you can export a PNG capture of the graph. You can choose to include or exclude edge labels in the export.

Export the full database

From the Main menu → Export the database, you export all your data (all investigations) in a single .osintracker file. Ideal for a full backup.
