Choose what to include

Paste the public Ghost link

Copy the address of your published site, not its editor. The page must open without a login.

Choose the pages to export

The scan follows links up to three levels deep. Select the pages you need from the results, within your plan’s limit.

Page content and design

The public pages and styles visitors see in their browser. The original editor and source project are not included. Review page titles and search settings before publishing.

Images and fonts

Choose downloaded assets to include available images and fonts. Free exports keep them linked to the original site. Videos and embeds may still need an internet connection.

Menus and animations

Interactions can work when their scripts and external services remain available. Accounts, databases and payments need separate services.

How it works·03

Test your exported site then publish it.

Test the exported site

Unzip the download and open the files through a local web server or temporary hosting. Check layouts, links, forms and animations on desktop and mobile.

Publish on your chosen host

Upload the tested files to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages. Check the live site before changing your domain. Hosting costs and provider terms apply.

Before you move your domain. The ZIP contains published pages and posts. Ghost Admin, memberships, paid subscriptions, search, comments, newsletters and forms need Ghost or replacement services. Export again for new posts.

Common Questions

Review what the workflow covers, what needs separate implementation, and what to verify before making a change.

The exporter follows reachable public links within its crawl depth and plan limit, packaging selected posts, pages and archives as static files. Private, gated, unlinked and inaccessible content is excluded.

Member login, paid subscriptions, and email delivery are Ghost server features and do not carry into a static export. Public content exports fully; gated content exports only what is publicly visible.

The export captures the rendered output rather than Ghost theme or Handlebars source. It aims to retain visible typography and layout, but dark mode, scripts, embeds and responsive behavior still need testing.

Re-export after publishing, or keep Ghost as your private editor and use the exporter as your publish step to static hosting.
