Your own Civitai archive: keep a private copy of the models you use

Why keep your own copy

Model pages get updated, versions get replaced, and the file you built a workflow around may not be the one on the page next month. A private copy of the exact file and version you use keeps your work repeatable.

What to keep with each model

• The .safetensors file itself
• The version you use
• The base model it was made for
• Its trigger words
• The source link

When you add a model from Civitai, BigVault keeps the model's details and trigger words with the file.

Add Civitai models to your vault in one click

Paste a Civitai model link in your vault and BigVault adds it in one click. Imports run on our servers in the background, so you can close the page.

Organize the archive

Keep one folder per family or base, so a LoRA always sits next to the checkpoint it needs. Our family pages show the folders and sizes for each:

• Moss LoRAs
• Flux LoRAs
• Wan 2.2 LoRAs
• Z-Image LoRAs
• Flux 2 Klein LoRAs
• Qwen Image LoRAs
• Krea 2 LoRAs
• SDXL LoRAs
• LTX-2 LoRAs

How much space you need

Median LoRA sizes from our samples: Flux 73 MB, Moss 138 MB, SDXL 218 MB. A full SDXL base checkpoint is about 6.9 GB. 500 Flux-size LoRAs need about 37 GB, so they fit in the 100 GB Locker plan.

Estimate from the median file size. Real numbers vary.

Use your models anywhere

Download your files again on any computer with a download link or script (Downloads). Rendering a model from your vault on Graydient is in Beta and needs a Graydient plan.

Graydient: “Use 100,000+ Civitai models, instantly installable in one click.”

What BigVault does not do

BigVault keeps copies of models you add. It can't bring back models that were removed from Civitai, and it isn't a public archive or a place to find them.
