If you want to change your blogging platform from BlogSpot to WordPress or any other platform, you have to get a most recent backup of your weblog. You know anyone can back up their BlogSpot blog directly by going to Dashboard → Settings → Other → Export blog. It’s very simple as it takes only few seconds. Though what will happen when you want to backup more than one blog in one time? Blogger limits to be having only 100 blogs per account. If you followed ordinary method, you have to repeat the above steps as the amount of blogs you have. You will definitely feel that it’s a tedious and especially time consuming task. However as “Tumblr Backup tool” for the Tumblelogs, Blogger provides a tool called ‘Google Takeout’, which allows Google users to download all Google services & products such as Google plus, Gmail, Drive, Contacts, Groups and also Blogger. We can use Google takeout for backing up all blog content in BlogSpot and images you embedded for Blogs in Picasa.

Now let’s see how to backup your blogs and images using the Takeout tool.

1: Go to Google Takeout page and if you didn't sign in to your account, so you have to log into your Google account to view that page.

2: Now select Blogger (Blogs) and Picasa (Images you uploaded to blog). If you have lengthy posts, content, it will take some time to make an archive file. Google allows only 2GB for creating .Zip file for your archives. The .Zip files more than 2GB size will be split into multiple .Zip files. Though choosing a special file format like .tgz or .tbz will increase the file size up to 50GB. But keep in mind that you will have to use special software to unpack the files of these formats. The archive format of BlogSpot blogs is ATOM, which enables other blogging platforms like WordPress.org to import the posts, comments and other materials.
