Data Transfer Guide

Wix AI doesn't offer direct export of complete sites, requiring manual content transfer. Start by copying all text content from your Wix editor into organized documents. Download images via Wix's Media Manager or use browser extensions for bulk downloads. For product data or blog posts, export CSV files where available. In Framer, use their AI generator to create a foundation site, then manually paste content into corresponding sections. Upload images to Framer's asset library. For dynamic content, set up Framer's CMS and import structured data. Forms and e-commerce require recreation using Framer's native components or third-party integrations.
