Can You Export Your Wix Website? What You Can Take Out

No, not as a whole site. Wix's own help center says a Wix site "needs to be hosted and operated on Wix's servers", so the whole site cannot run anywhere else (as of November 2026, per Wix's page on exporting or embedding your site). What you can take is your content, your domain, and a rebuilt copy of the site on a host you control. A rebuilt copy is the way to carry the site across. Wix's newer editor, Studio Two, has a code export in beta, but it leaves Wix running behind it, so it does not change this answer (details below).

"If I cancel I just lose my site?"

That is a real question from a Wix owner: "If I cancel I just lose my site? I put so much work into it."

Two things are true at once. Wix says "the content you build on Wix belongs to you." The same page says "the reason you can't use another host for your Wix site is that the SaaS architecture does not support external hosting." SaaS means software you rent instead of own; the site is a service Wix runs, not a folder of files you hold.

So the work is yours, and the machine that shows it is Wix's. Moving means rebuilding the pages on a different machine, and you do not have to start from a blank page to do that.

What it costs to leave

The move itself has two price tags: your time if you do it yourself, or a one-time fee if someone does it for you. After the move there is no hosting bill, because a site made of plain files can sit on Cloudflare's free plan, in an account you own.

If the reason you are leaving is the renewal notice, why your Wix bill is so high shows where the money goes. For the longer picture, see a website with no monthly fees.

What Wix lets you take out

The Studio Two code export

Wix has a newer editor called Studio Two. It can export a site as React code, which is the kind of file a developer works with. Wix labels the feature beta: "Exporting your site to code is currently in beta" (Wix developer docs).

Read the next lines of that page before getting excited. The exported site "loads fonts and media from Wix and calls Wix APIs for any business features on the page. Think of an exported site as a frontend you host for a site Wix still runs." In plain terms, the exported pages load fonts and media from Wix and ask Wix's servers to run any business features, so Wix is still doing the work. Visitors can't log in to it, and a site with dynamic pages can't be exported at all. Wix's page does not explain the term "dynamic pages", so if you are not sure whether your site has any, ask Wix support.

So the code export is not a way out of Wix. It is a way to show Wix's content from somewhere else, with Wix still running behind it. Wix's page describes this export for a Studio Two site, so check which editor your site uses before counting on it.

Getting your blog posts out of Wix

Wix is direct about this part: "Currently, it is not possible to export blog posts to other platforms" (Wix help center). That page is a feature request, so Wix could change it.

There is an RSS feed (a feed that readers and news apps use to follow a blog), but Wix says it "can only display up to 20 of the most recent blog posts." Wix's page describes the feed as a way for readers to follow a blog, and twenty posts is not your whole history.

Wix also has a tool for copying posts between two Wix sites in the same account. It skips comments, drafts and scheduled posts, and it does not help if you are leaving.

What you can take: the text and photos on each published post, by rebuilding them from the live pages. Drafts that were never published are not on the live site, so copy those out by hand before you cancel.

What happens to your domain

Your domain is the address people type, like yourbusiness.ca. Wix's help pages give two routes for one bought there (change nameservers, transfer it away).

Nameservers are the settings that say who answers when someone types your address. Wix says "you can use custom nameservers from another DNS provider and keep your domain registered at Wix", and names Cloudflare as an example. (A DNS provider is a company that runs those address settings.) Moving the registration is the other route: you unlock the domain, Wix emails a transfer code to the registrant (the contact email on the domain's record), and it "usually takes up to 7 days." A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of purchase.

If you use Wix business email, its mailboxes stop working after either change unless the new provider has the right email records (the settings called MX records, which tell the internet where your mail goes). Check that first.

On cancelling: Wix's help center says "Canceling your site plan does not cancel any domain, business email, or app subscriptions" and that you must cancel those separately. It also says that after you cancel a plan the site stays online, but "your site address reverts to the free Wix URL". Look at the domain's page in your Wix account before you cancel the plan, so you know where your own address is pointed. The full steps are in how to transfer a Wix domain to Cloudflare.

Will people still find you on Google?

Search results point at your old addresses. A move that forgets them leaves visitors on error pages. The fix is a redirect, which is a forwarding note saying "this old address now lives here." SiteFree, the migration service that publishes this post, sets up every old address redirected to its new page, so search results, bookmarks and links from other sites land in the right place. Nobody can promise how Google will rank you afterwards, and SiteFree does not.

Ways to rebuild it

You can rebuild the site by hand on another builder, hire a developer, or ask an AI tool to rebuild it and host it free. How to move your website off Wix compares those routes and what each one costs.

What a rebuild keeps

Your pages, text, photos and blog posts are rebuilt from the live site, and every old address is redirected. Your contact form keeps working, with messages going to your inbox. Embeds from services like Mailchimp, Calendly or Jotform come along at no charge. A feature Wix ran itself, such as a Wix booking calendar, is a flat $49 add-on each with SiteFree. A shop or member logins get a fixed quote.

What changes day to day: editing afterwards

Editing is the other thing that changes after the move.

In the Wix Editor, Wix says "Clicking Save won't make your changes live", and its Site History is "a record of every time that you (or someone working on your site) has saved or published" (publishing, site history).

On a SiteFree site, every change starts on a copy. You get a private preview link, and nothing goes live until you say yes. Every change is kept in your site's history, so going back to an earlier version means asking your assistant to undo it. That is how a professional developer sets up a site, and you get it without running any of it yourself.

It has costs. The assistant is a plan you subscribe to separately, such as Claude Pro at US$20 a month, which you can stop between edits. You need a free GitHub account, where your site's files live. And after you approve a change, the live site updates a few minutes later, not instantly. You can also email SiteFree your changes, or hire any web developer.

If you want it done for you

SiteFree is a Canadian migration service based in Montreal, with prices in Canadian dollars, and it sells this move; this post is part of that business. It rebuilds your Wix site to match your design closely and keeps every page and blog post. The result runs on free Cloudflare hosting in your own account, with the files in your own GitHub account. Cloudflare serves the site's files from the locations closest to each visitor, so SiteFree makes no promise about which country they come from.

The price is one time: $99 for up to 5 pages plus one blog or other section (the launch price for the first 20 sites, then $360), or $199 for up to 100 pages (then $720). A shop or a member area is a fixed quote. You get a private preview within two business days of payment, up to two rounds of fixes, and a full refund any time before you approve. Your old site stays live until you say yes.

You keep the domain, and your email is checked before anything switches. If you would like to see your page count and price first, you can check your site for free.
