LumaFusion Projects Disappeared

Workaround available iPad, iPhone Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

If you didn't delete the app, missing LumaFusion projects are usually hidden by a nearly full device: free storage, restart, then import a project backup. If you deleted and reinstalled the app, projects can only come back from a device backup.

Most likely fix: Free up storage and restart.

Symptoms

The Project Manager is empty or missing projects after an update, a restart or when storage is low.

Why it happens

  • Device storage almost full
  • App deleted and reinstalled (deletes all projects)
  • Moved to a new iPad without restoring app data

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Free up storage and restart

    1. Free as much storage as possible
    2. Restart the iPad or iPhone
    3. Reopen LumaFusion and check the Project Manager

  2. 2. Import a Project Backup

    1. Open the Project Manager
    2. Import a project backup / LumaFusion Project Package you saved earlier

  3. 3. Restore from a device backup (if you reinstalled)

    1. Restore an iCloud or computer backup made before the app was deleted, using Apple's restore steps

  4. 4. Prevent it next time

    1. Never delete the app to fix a bug
    2. Regularly export important projects as LumaFusion Project Packages to cloud storage or a drive
