- On the left-hand side of the phpMyAdmin dashboard, it shows the list of all databases available then click on the database you want to export.
3. Click the Export tab on the top menu bar.
4. phpMyAdmin has two export options: Quick and Custom. If you’re not familiar with SQL tables or want the simplest way, select Quick.

6. Click the Export button to continue.
7. A pop-up displays allowing you to download the file. (Note: your browser may also download it automatically.)
All done!
