Power BI Universal Report Downloader

Download any Power BI report — even ones you can't download from the service.

This tool uses the Fabric "Get Item Definition" API to download reports from any workspace and save them in PBIR / Project structure format.

Highlights

  • Works on any report — supports both legacy and PBIR formatted reports
  • Downloads reports unavailable in the service — bypasses the standard download limitations using the Fabric API
  • PBIR / Project structure output — open the .pbir file in Power BI Desktop, then save as .pbix or continue in PBIP format
  • Multi-environment support — Public (Commercial), USGov, USGovHigh, USGovMil, Germany, and China
  • Auto-updating — the .bat launcher pulls the latest script from GitHub on every run, so you're always on the newest version
  • Multi-select report picker — search, select all, or pick individual reports with a clean UI
  • Workspace search — quickly filter workspaces by name
  • Zero setup — just double-click Universal Power BI Downloader.bat; dependencies (MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt module) are installed automatically

How to Use

  1. Double-click Universal Power BI Downloader.bat
  2. Select your Power BI environment
  3. Sign in with your Power BI account
  4. Pick a workspace, select reports, and download

Reports are saved to C:\Power BI Backups.
