The Data Transfer Project makes it easy for platforms to build interoperable user data portability features. We are establishing a common framework, including data models and protocols, to enable direct transfer of data both into and out of participating online service providers. observed · 2026-08-28

An open-source framework providing common data models and adapter libraries that enable direct service-to-service transfer of user data between online platforms. Platforms embed it to offer interoperable data portability features without requiring users to download and re-upload their content.
Use cases
- transfer user data directly between two online services
- add data portability features to my platform
- let users move photos and posts from one service to another without downloading
- implement import and export adapters for service APIs
- avoid expensive download-and-upload data migration flows
When to choose
- you are an online service provider wanting to offer direct data portability to users
- you need a common framework and adapter ecosystem for service-to-service transfers
- you support consumer data verticals like photos, contacts, calendars, or social posts
When to avoid
- you need a simple one-off personal data export tool rather than a platform integration
- you need enterprise data migration rather than consumer data portability
- you cannot tolerate early-stage code that requires thorough testing before implementation
