Exporting Data

Valise is built on the belief that artists should have autonomy and ownership over their artwork data and not be at the whims of galleries, outdated systems, or third-party vendors. That includes Valise itself.

To that end, we try to make it easy for you to take your data out of Valise, whether for filling out forms, backing up your data, or migrating to another tool.

Full export

Valise makes it simple to quickly export all your data. This is a great way to back up your data, or to take it with you if you’re moving to another tool.

From the the settings view of your account, go to the Import / Export page. From here, you can press Export Data to request an export. Within a few minutes, we’ll send you an email with a link to download your data.

Export links expire after 48 hours, so be sure to download your data promptly.

What’s in a full export?

Exports of your data will give you a .zip archive of your data, including:

• All your artwork data, in CSV format (opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, etc.)
• All your consignment data, in CSV format
• All your sale data, in CSV format
• All of the original images and files you have uploaded to Valise, in separate folders

If you have thoughts or opinions on how exports can be more useful, please get in touch.

PDF exports

If you need to quickly send someone a printable copy of your artwork data, you can use our PDF export feature:

1. Go to any Artwork or Collection page, and press the ”…” menu in the top-right of the page.
2. Select Export to PDF….
3. Choose from three page layouts: Portfolio, Tear Sheet, or Labels, and which page size you want, either A4 or Letter.
4. Press Export.

API access

You can also access your data through our API. This is a useful way to power a website with your artwork data, or build other integrations that rely on getting data out of Valise.

For more details on what’s available, read our API documentation.
