Export comparison
ExportFramer vs Framer's built-in export
You already tried Framer's export and opened the files. Here's exactly what's different about ours — and a free preview so you can verify it instead of taking our word.
Full-site preview first. No card.
The difference in one sentence: Framer's built-in export produces static HTML that still relies on Framer's runtime; ExportFramer produces standalone HTML or React components that run, edit, and deploy without Framer.
Side by side
ExportFramer vs Framer's built-in export
| ExportFramer | Framer built-in export | |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Standalone HTML/CSS/JS or React components | Static HTML tethered to Framer runtime |
| Runs without Framer's servers | Fully offline-capable | Webhooks in source |
| Code you own | Real code; React components on request | No usable structure |
| Animations & interactions | Included in the export itself | Via the runtime tether |
| Host anywhere | Vercel / Cloudflare Pages / Netlify / your server | — |
| Ongoing cost | $0/mo hosting after one-time export | Framer plan continues ($10–30/mo) |
| Verify before paying | Free full-site preview | — |
| Keep editing visually | Via clonesite.ai (editable React project) | In Framer only |
The four tests
Run the true-export tests on both
A true export passes four tests: runtime independence, editability, fidelity, and portability. Framer's built-in export fails the first two outright — users who opened theirs found “only webhooks to framer servers in the source code.” Ours is designed to pass all four, and the free preview lets you check fidelity yourself before signup. To be fair to Framer: if you're staying on Framer and just want a backup artifact, the built-in export is fine. The comparison matters the moment you want to stop paying monthly, hand code to a developer, or host the site yourself.
- 01
Runtime independence
Does it run with Framer's servers off? Framer's export fails this — the source only calls back to Framer.
- 02
Editability
Can you open the code and change it? Framer's export gives you no usable structure to work with.
- 03
Fidelity
Do the animations and layout survive intact? Check ours yourself in the free full-site preview.
- 04
Portability
Can you host it anywhere? Our output deploys to any static host; Framer's stays tied to Framer.
Keep editing
Need to keep editing after export?
Our export hands you standalone code you own. If your site keeps changing — new pages, redesigns, ongoing edits — turn the export into a fully editable React + Tailwind project with clonesite.ai, built by the same team.
Questions
Before you compare export options
Everything people ask after opening Framer's built-in export for the first time.
- Why does it matter that Framer's export depends on their runtime?
- Because your “exported” site still requires Framer's servers to function fully — you can't edit it, host it independently, or hand it to a developer. It fails as an exit; it works only as a backup.
- Does ExportFramer's output really work offline?
- Yes — serve the downloaded folder locally with the network off and the site renders and animates. That's test #2 of the true-export checklist.
- Which output should I pick, HTML or React?
- HTML for a finished site you want to host cheaply (/framer-to-html); React for a site that keeps evolving in a dev workflow (/framer-to-react).
- What does ExportFramer cost?
- The full-site preview is free with no card. Download pricing: /pricing.
