How to export a Framer site
Framer is a great place to build and publish a site — but it doesn't give you a one-click way to download the whole thing as files you can host yourself. Here's what “exporting” a Framer site actually involves, and how to get a copy that keeps working on its own.
Does Framer let you export your whole site?
Framer can export individual components as React code, and it generates the usual sitemap.xml and robots.txt for SEO. What it doesn't offer is a button that hands you your entire published site as a folder of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and fonts you can host anywhere. Your published site is served from Framer's own infrastructure.
That's fine until the day you want to move hosts, keep an independent backup, or make sure the site survives a cancelled plan. For any of those, you need a self-contained copy — one that renders without calling back to Framer.
What a good export actually needs
A screenshot or a saved HTML page isn't an export. A real, hostable copy has to capture the site the way it looks live and rewrite every reference to point at your own files:
- Every page — not just the homepage — captured exactly as it renders, with fonts, animations, and interactions intact.
- All images, fonts, CSS, and scripts saved locally and rewritten to your own paths.
- No leftover links to
framerusercontent.comorframerstatic.comthat break the day Framer stops serving them. - A folder you can drop onto any static host and open offline.
Export a Framer site with unhost, step by step
unhost automates exactly this. It renders your published site, captures every asset during the render, rewrites all URLs to local paths, and packages the result as a ZIP:
- Paste your public Framer URL on the home page and start an export.
- Watch it render and capture every page and asset.
- Open the free live preview to confirm it looks identical to your live site.
- Download the ZIP and host it wherever you like.
Host it anywhere, then reconnect the dynamic bits
The export is plain static files, so it deploys to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any web server — see how to host a Framer site elsewhere.
Static content, design, fonts, and assets carry over faithfully. Server-side Framer features — form submission backends and password protection — run on Framer's servers, so they need re-wiring afterward. The optional Migration Kit generates copy-paste form configs and exports your CMS as JSON to help.
FAQ
Is it legal to export my Framer site?
It's your published content, and exporting a copy is your right to data portability under GDPR Article 20. Only export sites you own or control.
Does exporting cancel or change my Framer site?
No. An export is a read-only copy. Your Framer site stays exactly as it is — exporting changes nothing on Framer's side.
Will the export look identical to my live site?
Yes — the site is captured as it renders live, so the free preview is what you ship. You can check it before paying anything.
Do I have to pay to see it?
No. The live preview is always free and needs no account. Payment only unlocks the downloadable ZIP.
