Data Transfer Guide

Exporting from ElevenLabs: Log into your account, navigate to History or Projects section. Manually download each audio file in WAV format for highest quality. For bulk exports, ElevenLabs doesn't offer automated tools, so you'll need to download individually or use browser extensions for batch downloading. Export API logs from your dashboard's usage section. Document voice settings manually as ElevenLabs doesn't export presets. For cloned voices, note the original sample characteristics. Importing to Murf: Upload downloaded audio files to Murf's media library for reference. Recreate projects using Murf's editor—direct file import isn't supported for ElevenLabs projects. For voice cloning in Murf, prepare new training samples following Murf's specifications (clean audio, specific duration requirements). Use Murf's pronunciation dictionary to match any custom terms from your ElevenLabs usage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from ElevenLabs to Murf AI?+
You can download audio files from ElevenLabs and upload them to Murf as reference, but project files and voice clones cannot be directly transferred. You'll need to recreate projects in Murf's editor and potentially recreate voice clones using original samples following Murf's specifications.
How long does migration take?+
For individual users, expect 3-5 days including testing. Teams need 1-2 weeks for coordination. Enterprise migrations with API integrations require 3-4 weeks. The timeline depends on project complexity and how many custom voices need recreation.
Will I lose any features switching to Murf AI?+
You gain integrated editing tools but may notice differences in voice characteristics and language support. ElevenLabs supports more languages, while Murf offers better control within its 20 languages. Some advanced voice parameters have different implementations between platforms.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, maintain both subscriptions during transition. Run parallel operations for 1-2 weeks to compare outputs. This allows you to recreate projects in Murf while keeping ElevenLabs available for reference. Cancel ElevenLabs only after confirming Murf meets all needs.
Is Murf AI cheaper than ElevenLabs?+
Pricing structures differ significantly. Murf's free plan offers more minutes, while paid plans include editing tools ElevenLabs charges extra for. For users needing integrated production features, Murf often provides better value. Compare based on your specific character usage and feature requirements.
