Early access · Limited previews

Your Framer site has no export. Preview it as an Astro site

Request a live preview of your public Framer site, rebuilt in Astro and hosted on DeployHQ Sites. See what moving to code you control would look like before you commit to anything. Your Framer site isn't changed.

Early access is limited. Free to request. Using WordPress instead? Preview your WordPress site.

Illustrative. Previews run on DeployHQ Sites, are unlisted and marked noindex, and unclaimed previews expire.

Why we work from your published pages

Framer publishes your site on its own hosting and, according to its help centre, doesn't offer an HTML export for self-hosting. That leaves no project file to convert. We read the pages your visitors see and rebuild them as an Astro project.

How it works

Three steps, and nothing changes on your Framer site.

1

Request a preview

Enter your public Framer site URL and confirm you're allowed to share it.

2

We rebuild it in Astro

Static pages from your published site. You'll get a list of what didn't carry over.

3

Open your preview on DeployHQ Sites

Compare it with your Framer original. Claim it by creating a DeployHQ account, or let it expire.

What to expect

The preview shows which parts moved across and which need a rebuild, so you know before you commit to anything.

Usually converts

  • Page text and structure
  • Images
  • Layout
  • Metadata

Needs a replacement or rebuild

  • Animations and scroll effects
  • Framer CMS editing
  • Forms
  • Embeds, third-party and custom code components

Good first fit: marketing sites and landing pages that are mostly static. Sites that rely heavily on interactions or custom code components may need rework, and we may decline them.

Before you request

Five questions worth answering whatever tool you use to move off Framer.

Design fidelity

Which animations and effects matter? Interactions built in Framer won't carry over automatically, so decide what to keep, simplify or rebuild.

Who edits after the move

Framer's visual editor and CMS stay with Framer. In Astro, content lives in files or a CMS, so plan who publishes changes and how.

Forms and integrations

List your forms, embeds, analytics and third-party scripts, and how each will work in the new setup.

Domain and launch

Your domain points at Framer today. Moving means a DNS change, so check your URLs, redirects and metadata before switching anything live.

Ownership and hosting

Who owns the repository, how do changes reach the live site, and who handles hosting and support afterwards?

Request your preview

We review each request before building. Your preview link arrives by email, and your Framer site isn't changed.

Previews run on DeployHQ Sites. Claiming one creates a DeployHQ account and keeps the preview. It doesn't move your domain.

Only enter a Framer site you own or have permission to share.
We'll send your preview link here.

We'll use your details to send your preview and reply to your request. See our privacy policy.

Questions before you request

Does this change my Framer site?

No. We build the preview from your published pages. Your site, hosting and DNS stay as they are.

Does Framer let me export my site?

Framer doesn't offer an HTML export for self-hosting, so we work from your published pages.

Will animations and effects carry over?

Not reliably. Layout, text and images usually do, while interactions are the part most likely to need rebuilding. The preview shows what changed.

Will I keep the Framer editor and CMS?

Not automatically. Astro can use content files or a CMS, but that's a separate setup we aren't offering in this early access. If non-developers need to publish, reply to your preview email and tell us, so we understand that need.

Is the preview public? Will it appear in search?

Previews are unlisted and marked noindex, so they won't compete with your live site in search. Anyone with the link can open one, so share it with care.

What does claiming a preview mean?

Previews run on DeployHQ Sites. Claiming one creates a DeployHQ account and keeps the preview. It doesn't move your domain or change your Framer site. Unclaimed previews expire.

Which sites can you preview?

Sites you own or have permission to share, starting with marketing sites and landing pages. We review requests before building and may decline sites we can't convert well. We'll tell you why.
