Lovable: Import Projects From Other Tools or Existing Websites

LovableOct 29, 2026View original changelog

Lovable now lets users import a project built in another tool, or an existing website, and keep building it in Lovable. Projects from Replit, Bolt, Base44, v0, or Manus can be brought in as a ZIP export, while websites, including those built with Wix, Squarespace, or Webflow, are imported by entering their address. The first import is free, and later imports consume credits as standard build usage.

Key Takeaways

Lovable now imports projects built with Replit, Bolt, Base44, v0, or Manus, so users can switch tools without starting over.
Existing websites can be imported by entering their address, including sites built with Wix, Squarespace, or Webflow.
Tool projects arrive as a ZIP export that the user uploads, keeping the process simple.
The entry point is the + menu on the dashboard, under Import project to Lovable.
The first import is free, giving users a no-risk way to try migrating.
Later imports use credits as standard build usage, so repeated migrations count against a plan.

Bring Your App or Website to Lovable

Lovable added two ways to move existing work into the platform: Import project and Import website. Users can keep building something they started elsewhere without rebuilding it from scratch.

Importing a Project From Another Tool

For a project built with Replit, Bolt, Base44, v0, or Manus, a user exports it as a ZIP file and uploads it to Lovable. Once imported, the project behaves like any other Lovable project and can be edited through chat.

Importing an Existing Website

For a website, including one built with Wix, Squarespace, or Webflow, a user simply enters the site's address. Lovable then works from that site so it can be continued and extended inside Lovable.

How to Start

Both options begin from Import project to Lovable in the + menu on the Lovable dashboard.

Pricing

A user's first import is free. After that, imports are treated as standard build usage and consume credits, like other building work in Lovable.

Why It Matters

Switching AI app builders has usually meant starting over. By accepting exports from five competing tools plus arbitrary websites, Lovable lowers the barrier for people who want to move their existing work onto its platform.
