On October 29, 2026, Lovable published a changelog entry titled Bring your app or website to Lovable, listed in the Lovable changelog. The entry described how users could import projects from other AI builders and existing websites.

How the import worked

Users could import a project built with another tool, or an existing website, and keep building it in Lovable.
A project from Replit, Bolt, Base44, v0 or Manus was exported as a ZIP file and then uploaded to Lovable.
For a website, including one built with Wix, Squarespace or Webflow, the user entered the site's address instead.
Imports started from Import project to Lovable in the + menu on the dashboard.

What it cost

The first import was free. After that, imports counted as standard build usage and consumed credits, like other building in Lovable.

What it meant for builders

Lovable was targeting users of rival builders directly, which made switching easier. A team that had started a project in Replit, Bolt, Base44, v0 or Manus could try Lovable on that project instead of rebuilding it, and a site built with Wix, Squarespace or Webflow could be brought over by its address. Because the first import was free of charge, that first try cost nothing.
