Learn why Framer does not support HTML export and how our hosting infrastructure helps optimize your site’s performance.
Framer does not offer HTML export for self-hosting. Sites built in Framer rely on platform-managed services that power performance, optimization, and publishing features behind the scenes.
Framer uses dynamic backend services to optimize your website after it is published. These services go beyond static HTML and are tightly integrated with Framer's hosting infrastructure.
Examples include:
Page pre-rendering for improved performance.
Dynamic image resizing and optimization.
Font subsetting for faster loading.
Server-side rendering (SSR).
Global content delivery and caching.
Because these capabilities depend on Framer’s infrastructure, published sites are not fully static and cannot be exported as standalone HTML files for self-hosting.
If you require complete control over hosting infrastructure or need to export source code, Framer may not be the right solution for that workflow.
Framer is designed as a hosted platform, where publishing and performance optimizations are managed automatically to provide the best experience for site visitors.

FAQ
Can I download my website’s HTML files from Framer?
No. Framer does not provide a way to export published sites as HTML files or static website bundles.
Why does Framer require hosting through its platform?
Many of Framer’s performance and optimization features rely on backend services running on Framer’s infrastructure. These services cannot be replicated through a simple HTML export.
Can I use my own domain with Framer hosting?
Yes. You can connect a custom domain and publish your site through Framer while still benefiting from its hosting and optimization features.
