About Squarespace Export Export
Squarespace has an export feature. It's not very good.
Here's what you get natively:
Go to Settings > Advanced > Import/Export > Export. Squarespace gives you an XML file containing your pages and blog posts as raw text. Products export as CSV files. That's it.
No design. No images. No fonts. No CSS. Just content stripped of everything that made it look good.
This is intentional. Squarespace wants you on their platform. Easy export would make leaving too simple.
The XML file is somewhat useful for WordPress migration. Import it, and your text content appears in WordPress, without formatting. You'd still need to rebuild the entire design. For anything else, native export is basicaly worthless.
Getting a real export requires a different approach.
Your Squarespace site is publicly accessible. Visitors see rendered HTML, your design, images, everything together. A tool that captures what the browser displays can grab all of it.
That's what our exporter does. Enter your site URL. We load each page in a real browser, just like a visitor would. Then we save the rendered output. HTML files with your content. CSS files with your styling. Image folders with all your media. Font files if they're accessible.
The result is a working website. Open the HTML files locally and you'll see your Squarespace design. Upload them to any web server and you've got a live site, no Squarespace subscription required.
What exports well:
Pages, blog posts, galleries, text content, images, fonts, layout, colors, spacing, everything visual. Your site looks identical.
What doesn't work after export:
Anything requiring a server. Form submissions need a backend, try Formspree. Scheduling and booking need services, try Calendly. E-commerce needs a platform, try Shopify or Gumroad. Member areas need authentication, rebuild or drop the feature.
For most Squarespace sites, those limitations don't matter. Portfolios, restaurant menus, business brochures, personal sites, they're content sites. Text and images. That exports perfectly.
Export timing matters too. Do it while your Squarespace site is live and accessible. Cancel your subscription first and your site goes offline, nothing to export.
Native export gives you content. Full export gives you your website. Know the difference before you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Squarespace's built-in export include?
Blog posts as XML, product data as CSV, site content as XML. No design, no images, no CSS. Useful for WordPress migration with content only. Useless for keeping your site's appearance.
Can I export my Squarespace design?
Not natively. Squarespace only exports raw content. To get your actual design, the rendered pages with styling, you need a third-party tool that captures what visitors see.
How do I export Squarespace to HTML?
Use a tool that renders your live site in a browser and saves the output. Enter your URL, wait for processing, download a ZIP with HTML files, CSS, images, and fonts. That's your complete site.
What can't be exported from Squarespace?
Dynamic features don't work in static exports. Scheduling, commerce checkout, member-only content, form submissions, anything requiring a server. The visual design exports perfectly; interactivity doesn't.
