Your website shouldoutlive whateveryou built it on.
ToStatic started as a way around a paywall for code our own team had already paid to design. It's now the workflow that keeps exported websites backed up, hosted, and monitored - no matter what happens to the original builder account.

ToStatic in numbers
The practical layer between a builder and ownership.
One workflow connects the live source, the export, and the copy you can keep.
Where it started
Keep the work. Lose the lock-in.
ToStatic began with a practical problem: a site we had already paid to design was trapped behind a builder plan.
The answer was not another rebuild. It was a reliable path from the live source to files a team can preview, host, and keep.

Source stays liveExport becomes the durable copy.
- 01Where we started
A Chrome extension born from a paywall
ToStatic began because our own team got stuck behind a builder paywall for code we'd already paid to design. We built the export path we wished existed.
- 02Where we are now
A continuity platform, not a one-off download
Export now feeds a full workflow: queue status, previews, backups, custom domains with SSL, and SEO and performance monitoring on the live site.
- 03Where we're headed
Fewer surprises for agencies and founders
More builder coverage, more automated fixes, and guided next actions so a website stays healthy without someone checking on it manually.
The product principle
Every choice starts with one idea: it is your website.
Your website isn't a rental
If you paid to build it, you should be able to leave with real files, not a locked preview.
Exporting shouldn't need a developer
Verify, export, and preview from the browser. No terminal, no build pipeline, no handoff to engineering.
A copy that survives the platform
Builder outages, pricing changes, and sunsets happen. A current export means none of that is a fire drill.
Host wherever makes sense
Static output works on ToStatic hosting, your own domain, or any static host you already trust.
Know before it breaks
SEO and performance checks run against the live site, so problems surface before a client or visitor finds them.
“This tool empowers me to stay stress-free and take my portfolio website wherever I want. I end up saving so much on enforced subscriptions!”
Keep the next copy ready
Make portability part of the workflow.
Start with one approved site, then keep its export close to the source.
