Data Transfer Guide

Uizard doesn't offer direct export to Pineapple Builder since they serve different purposes. Export your Uizard designs as PNG, PDF, or SVG files for visual reference. For assets, download all images, icons, and logos from Uizard's asset library. Document your design specifications manually: colors (hex codes), fonts, spacing, and component details. In Pineapple Builder, you'll recreate rather than import these designs. Use Pineapple Builder's AI questionnaire to generate your initial website structure, then manually apply your brand assets and design specifications through the visual editor. Text content must be copied manually from Uizard designs into Pineapple Builder's content sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Uizard to Pineapple Builder?+

How long does migration take?+

For a typical small business website with 5-7 pages, expect 4-8 hours of work. This includes exporting assets, setting up Pineapple Builder, recreating designs, transferring content, and testing. Complex designs or larger sites may require additional time.
