Restore a full theme directly or download it as a ZIP to preview before publishing.
You can restore a full theme directly to your store or download it as a ZIP to preview before publishing. Theme customizations are stored in theme settings files and are included in backups. Images used in theme customizations live in Shopify Files, which BackupMaster backs up separately under the Files category — to fully restore a theme’s appearance, you may need to restore both.

ZIP upload rejected by Shopify
The file may not have downloaded completely. Re-download and try again. Contact support at support@backupmaster.io if the issue persists.
Logo or images missing after theme restore
Images used in theme customizations are stored in Shopify Files, not in the theme itself. Restore the Files category as well, or re-upload the images through the theme editor.
Menu or navigation missing after restore
Menus are managed through Shopify’s Navigation settings, not theme files. Theme restores don’t affect navigation menus.
