Migrated from Firebase Storage to Supabase
Migrate Firebase Storage files to Supabase Storage.
Supabase provides several tools to convert storage files from Firebase Storage to Supabase Storage. Conversion is a two-step process:
- Files are downloaded from a Firebase storage bucket to a local filesystem.
- Files are uploaded from the local filesystem to a Supabase storage bucket.
Set up the migration tool

Clone the firebase-to-supabase repository:
_10git clone https://github.com/supabase-community/firebase-to-supabase.git -
In the
/storage
directory, rename supabase-keys-sample.js tosupabase-keys.js
. -
Go to your Supabase project's API settings in the Dashboard.
-
Copy the Project URL and update the
SUPABASE_URL
value insupabase-keys.js
. -
Under Project API keys, copy the service_role key and update the
SUPABASE_KEY
value insupabase-keys.js
.
Generate a Firebase private key

<prefix>
: The prefix of the files to download. To process the root bucket, use an empty prefix: "".<folder>

To process in batches using multiple command-line executions, you must use the same parameters with a new <token>
on subsequent calls. Use the token displayed on the last call to continue the process at a given point.
Upload files to Supabase Storage bucket
node upload.js <prefix> <folder> <bucket>
<prefix>
: The prefix of the files to download. To process all files, use an empty prefix: "".<folder>

If the bucket doesn't exist, it's created as a non-public
bucket. You must set permissions on this new bucket in the Supabase Dashboard before users can download any files.
