Export or Download Your Site

You can download your website's source code at any time, on any plan. This page shows where the button is and what you get.

Download your site's code​

  1. Open your site in the browser workspace and go to Settings.
  2. In the Export section ("Download your website's source code"), click Export code.
  3. The first time, a short feedback form appears. Fill it in and the download starts. After that, the button downloads directly.

Your browser receives a ZIP file named <site-name>-frontend.zip.

What the export contains​

The ZIP holds your site's source tree: the pages, components, styles, and content. It leaves out git history, environment files, and build output. A developer can run it or host it anywhere that runs a Next.js site.

Other ways to get your code​

  • Sync to GitHub. Connect a repository from the Integrations page and Kite keeps it in sync with your site both ways. See Integrations.
  • Just want your own web address? You do not need to export anything for that. Connect a custom domain and keep your site hosted on Kite. See Connect a Custom Domain.

Troubleshooting​

The download did not start. Check your browser's download bar and pop-up settings, then click Export code again.

I'm leaving Kite and want my content. Export each site you want to keep before you delete your account. See Delete Your Account & Data.
