How to Move Your Weebly Site to WordPress, Squarespace or Wix

Only WordPress.com documents an actual Weebly import path today; Squarespace and Wix don't, so moving to either of them is an export-your-content-then-rebuild job, not an import. That's true even for WordPress.com's path: it works by converting your Weebly site into a WordPress-compatible file first, and it still leaves your theme and domain behind. This post covers what each destination officially supports for someone arriving from Weebly, what comes across automatically, and what you rebuild yourself — plus the one step that's identical no matter where you land: getting your content out of Weebly before its clock runs out.

If you haven't started the export yet, do that first. The full Weebly export walkthrough covers the site archive, blog posts, store CSV, form entries and images, all before you touch a new platform. Sites in 67 affected countries are unpublished on September 27, 2026, and account login ends December 26, 2026 — this post doesn't change either date, and nothing below works on a site that's already gone dark.

Which destination fits, if you haven't decided yet?

This is a starting point, not a verdict — all three still require rebuilding your design by hand, since none of them imports a Weebly layout.

How do I move my Weebly site to WordPress?

WordPress.com is the one destination with an official guide built for this move. Its Import from Weebly guide lists three options: copy and paste your content by hand, use a plugin (available on plugin-enabled plans), or generate a Weebly export file and run it through WordPress.com's own importer.

For the third option, WordPress.com's guide sends you outside its own site: disable SSL in Weebly (Settings → General → SSL → Disable), then use the converter at weeblytowp.com, a third-party site that WordPress.com's guide links to, to turn your Weebly site's URL into a WXR (WordPress-format XML) file — the guide says to "select the WXR export format" and choose whether to include pages as well as posts. Download that file, then in WordPress.com go to Tools → Import, choose WordPress (Weebly won't appear in the platform list), and upload the file. You'll be asked to reassign each author to an existing WordPress.com user before you click Start Import. Once the converter has finished, turn SSL back on in Weebly, since your Weebly site stays public until it's unpublished.

What comes across: "your site's pages, posts, comments, and any media items, including photos, videos, and embedded files," per WordPress.com's guide. What doesn't: "Your theme, custom domain, and personal settings will not be transferred over." You pick a new WordPress theme and rebuild the layout yourself.

Self-hosted WordPress has no Weebly-specific official guide, but it uses the identical WXR format, so the same converted file imports the same way through Tools → Import → WordPress in your own WordPress admin — this is the generic WXR import path, not a Weebly-aware one, so the same caveats apply: theme, custom settings, and anything Weebly served from its database rather than as static content are on you to rebuild.

If you run a Weebly store, that's a separate step either way: export your item catalog from Items → Site Items → "…" → Export, documented on Weebly's own CSV help page, then reformat it for whichever commerce plugin (WooCommerce, for a WordPress destination) you install.

How do I move my Weebly site to Squarespace?

Squarespace has an official guide, Moving from Weebly to Squarespace, and it's direct about the limits: "You can import products from your Weebly site by downloading them as a .csv. It's not possible to import your last site's layout, design, fonts, or other content."

So the only thing that moves with an actual import is a store catalog, and even that needs reformatting — Squarespace says to follow Weebly's own CSV export instructions, then check the file against Squarespace's import format before uploading it under Import a CSV file. Everything else — pages, blog posts, images — is a manual rebuild: pick a Squarespace template, add pages and sections, and paste in the copy and images you already saved from your Weebly export. Squarespace's guide recommends keeping your old Weebly site live (or your new Squarespace site private, behind a site password) until the new one is finished, so you're never running two public sites or none at all.

How do I move my Weebly site to Wix?

Wix has no import path for a site built outside Wix, Weebly included. Wix's own site-import request page states plainly: "Currently, importing a site created outside of Wix is not supported." It's listed as an open feature request, not a documented capability.

The blog is the same story, more specifically: Wix's blog-import request page says "Currently, you can import blog posts from WordPress and from another Wix site" — Weebly isn't one of the two supported sources, and there's no workaround documented for it.

So a Wix move is a full manual rebuild: copy your saved text and images into the Wix Editor page by page, using your Weebly screenshots as a layout reference. For a store, Wix Stores has a generic CSV importer (Store Products → Import) that expects your data mapped to Wix's own template columns; it isn't Weebly-specific, so budget time to reformat the file, the same as with Squarespace's product import.

What happens to my blog posts specifically?

The same underlying problem shows up on every destination: Weebly's own site archive excludes blog and store pages outright, since Weebly says they "rely directly on our database" rather than existing as static files. That's true no matter where you're headed. The dedicated blog export guide walks through checking your account data export first, then copying anything missing by hand, before you start on any of the destinations above — do that step before September 27, since a post you haven't copied becomes unreadable once your site is unpublished.

What happens to my domain?

Domain portability isn't tied to which of these three you pick — it's tied to where the domain is registered. If you bought it through Weebly, the deadline is December 26, 2026, when Weebly account login ends and you can no longer manage or renew it from there. The full domain walkthrough covers finding your registrar, unlocking the domain, and the 60-day ICANN locks that can block a transfer — read it before you touch DNS on any of the three destinations, since the steps are the same regardless of which one you land on.

What if none of these three is actually what I want?

All three trade one set of platform constraints for another: WordPress themes and plugins, Squarespace's editor, or Wix's editor. If the actual complaint is "I don't want to be locked into someone else's editor again," that's a different problem, and it's the one Figment is built around — your site is a Figma file you own outright, published by a plugin. The Weebly-to-Figment walkthrough covers that path if you want to compare it against the three above.

What should I do before September 27?

• Finish the full Weebly export: site archive, account data download, copied blog posts, saved images, store and form CSVs.
• Pick a destination using the matrix above, knowing all three need a manual rebuild of your design.
• For WordPress: disable SSL in Weebly, run the weeblytowp.com converter, re-enable SSL, import the XML via Tools → Import → WordPress.
• For Squarespace: export and reformat your product CSV if you run a store; rebuild everything else by hand.
• For Wix: copy content and rebuild manually; use the Wix Stores CSV template if you sell products.
• Handle the domain separately, on its own deadline, using the domain guide above.
• Keep your old Weebly account open and your export files saved until the new site is verified — none of these imports is destructive to the Weebly side, so nothing here is a one-way door as long as you haven't let the account lapse.

Bottom line: WordPress.com is the only destination with an official Weebly-aware import path, and it still needs a third-party file converter and leaves your design behind. Squarespace imports a product CSV and nothing else. Wix imports nothing from Weebly at all. Whichever you pick, get your content out of Weebly first — the deadline for that doesn't move.
