Framer Exporter Skill

Export any Framer website to fully self-hosted local files with no Framer CDN dependencies.

What This Does

Downloads all assets — JS, CSS, images, video, PDF, audio, and other files from Framer CDN to local js/, css/, images/, media/ folders
Fixes ES module imports — Updates all import and import() paths to use local filenames, including modulepreload links
Handles multi-page exports — Detects and processes all HTML pages (blog posts, policy pages, sub-routes) with their unique data-framer-hydrate-v2 routeIds
Removes Framer noise — Strips "Made in Framer" badges, editor bars, and Framer branding precisely
Fixes SPA routing — Updates nav links, deletes conflicting directories, generates a custom server.js with URL-to-HTML mapping

Usage

Export a live Framer site

/framer-export https://example.framer.app

Export from local HTML files

/framer-export ./my-exported-site

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze the site

If URL: download the HTML and scan for all external CDN URLs
If local: scan all HTML files for CDN references
Categorize correctly by checking file extensions using regexes (e.g. /\.(js|mjs)(\?|$)/i for JS, /\.css(\?|$)/i for CSS, /\.(png|jpg|jpeg|webp|gif|svg|ico)(\?|$)/i for images). This ensures files with query parameters (e.g., ?v=2) are not misclassified as media files.
Detect all page routes: Every .html file found represents a unique route (homepage /, /blogs, /pricing, /terms-conditions, /blogs/slug-title, etc.)
Each HTML file contains data-framer-hydrate-v2="{routeId:...}" — this JSON determines which page renders on the client and is baked in at download time, so each route needs its own HTML file
Log all discovered routes

Step 2: Create local asset directories

Create js/, css/, images/, media/ directories alongside index.html.

Step 3: Download all external resources

Download all JS, CSS, images, and media files (video, PDF, audio, documents) to local directories. Skip fonts by default unless user requests them.

Media Validation: Validate downloaded files. For videos (MP4, WebM, Ogg) and audio, read the first 12 bytes to verify magic bytes. MP4 contains ftyp at offset 4, WebM/MKV starts with \x1a\x45\xdf\xa3. Reject empty files.

Important: Extract dynamic import URLs from script_main.mjs. Framer's SPA router dynamically imports page modules. Construct full CDN URLs from the script_main base path, and download those dynamic modules too.

Step 4: Fix ES module imports in JS files

Many Framer exports have import statements referencing CDN filenames like 7zd_4hdYd8O.mjs. Rename these to short local names and update all import paths:

from "./7zd_4hdYd8O-dG7PZxJrnFUX2tGHHFGd1cKXxhsQWgA.B72Ql4Dm.mjs" → from "./site-home.mjs"
Also fix dynamic imports: import(`./filename.mjs`)
Also fix modulepreload links.

Step 5: Update HTML references

Replace all CDN URLs in HTML files with absolute root-relative paths (starting with /) to ensure sub-pages and nested routes resolve correctly:

https://framer.com/bootstrap.js → /js/bootstrap.js
Images: https://framerusercontent.com/images/xxx.png → /images/xxx.png (strip query params)
Media (video/PDF/audio): https://framerusercontent.com/files/xxx.pdf → /media/xxx.pdf
Modulepreload links: Rewrite relative/CDN modulepreload href values to /js/filename.mjs but ignore any links that are already absolute (starting with /) or external (starting with http/https) to avoid double-prefixing.

Step 6: Remove Framer noise

Surgically remove Framer badge, editor bar, iframe, and related CSS/scripts. Update all HTML files, not just the homepage.

Step 7: Fix SPA routing

Delete empty static HTML directories (blog/, support/, etc.) that override SPA routes — but ONLY if they contain no actual HTML files
Update nav links from .html paths to SPA routes: href="blog/index.html" → href="/blog". Skip relative asset directory prefixes (js/, css/, images/, media/) and file extensions to avoid breaking asset loading.
Generate a custom server.js that maps each discovered URL slug to its HTML file.
The server.js template must double-escape regexes (e.g. url.replace(/^\\//, '') in template string) to strip leading slashes correctly.

Step 8: Verify

Run: node server.js
Test all routes and test page refresh on sub-pages and nested pages to check for any blank screens or 404s.
Check browser console for "Failed to fetch dynamically imported module" errors.

Important Framer Patterns

data-framer-hydrate-v2

Framer bakes data-framer-hydrate-v2="{routeId:...,...}" JSON into each HTML page. This routeId is set at download time — each unique URL needs its own HTML file because the routeId cannot be dynamically changed after download.

CDN import paths to fix

Framer uses hash-based filenames. Common patterns:

https://framer.com/bootstrap.[hash].js
https://app.framerstatic.com/chunk-[hash].mjs
https://framerusercontent.com/sites/[siteId]/[hash].mjs

Route modules

Framer SPAs define routes in site-script_main.mjs:

W = {
  routeId: { page: () => import('./route-page.mjs'), path: '/path' },
  ...
}

The route .mjs files often import each other — must update ALL import paths recursively.

Dynamic imports in route files

Route files often import other modules dynamically:

page: E(() => import(`./some-file.mjs`))

These also need fixing.

Image URL variants

Framer URLs appear in multiple attributes:

src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/xxx.png?width=101&height=101"
srcset="https://framerusercontent.com/images/xxx.png?w=800 800w, ..."
href="https://framerusercontent.com/images/xxx.png?..." (favicon)
content="https://framerusercontent.com/images/xxx.png?..." (og:image)

Strip query parameters from all of these and map to images/.

Framer font files

framerusercontent.com/assets/*.woff2 custom fonts — these are design fonts with no Framer branding. It's acceptable to keep them as external references. Skip by default, offer --with-fonts to download.

Output Structure

project/
├── index.html              (cleaned, local refs)
├── server.js               (custom SPA server with URL→HTML mapping)
├── js/
│   ├── bootstrap.js
│   ├── site-script_main.mjs
│   ├── site-[name].mjs
│   ├── route-[page].mjs
│   └── ...
├── css/
│   └── editorbar.css
├── images/
│   └── [all images]
└── media/
    └── [videos, PDFs, audio, documents, etc.]

Edge Cases

Port conflicts: Kill existing processes on the port before starting server (taskkill //F //IM node.exe on Windows)
Static .html files: If nav links point to .html files that exist, update those files' CDN refs too
Empty dirs vs real dirs: blog/ with only empty subdirs → delete; blog/ with index.html → keep and clean
Blog post slugs: URLs like /blogs/top-ai-tools need their own blogs/top-ai-tools.html file — extract from data-framer-hydrate-v2 or from the SPA router config
Font files: Skip by default; no visible branding but adds significant export time
Canvas sandbox iframe: Editor-only, safe to remove (already caught by noise removal)
