Liberate, formerly Import

Bring any site home to WordPress.

Liberate is the new name for Import, because it now does more. Start from a backup, a live WordPress site or any URL on the web, and end up with a local WordPress site you own and can edit.

Three ways in

Whatever you start with, you end up with a normal WordPress site.

from a backup

Drop in a file

A .zip, .tar.gz, .sql, .wpress or WordPress export .xml file. Drag it onto the app, or run studio import.

from a live site

Pull it down

Pull a site from WordPress.com or Pressable with its database, uploads, themes and plugins.

How liberating a URL works

  1. Give it the address.Any public site, on any platform.
  2. It makes a portable copy.Pages, styles and images are saved as plain HTML.
  3. It rebuilds it in WordPress.Content becomes pages and posts made of editable blocks.
  4. You compare and refine.Look at both side by side and ask for fixes until they match.
