LEGACY WEBFLOW IMPORTER REPLACEMENT

Looking for the Discontinued importer.webflow.io?

Webflow's legacy page importer tool has been decommissioned. Meet Website Importer—the modern, official App marketplace solution designed to migrate full HTML pages cleanly into the Webflow Designer.

What happened to importer.webflow.io?

Webflow's legacy converter page operated on older generation parsing algorithms, which struggled to format complex stylesheets, nested grids, and modern layout architectures. To prevent users from importing corrupt and unmaintainable CSS structures, Webflow discontinued the utility. Today, Webflow relies on certified App developers using the modern Webflow Designer API to perform clean imports.
