What’s Included in Exports

Regardless of which export method you choose, your export will include:

  • Complete source code for your web application
  • All assets (images, fonts, etc.)
  • Configuration files
  • Package dependencies
  • Documentation (where applicable)

​
After Export

Once you’ve exported your code, you can:

  • Extend It: Add custom functionality beyond what’s available in Creatr
  • Run It Locally: Test and develop in your preferred local environment
  • Deploy Elsewhere: Use custom hosting or advanced deployment options
  • Integrate Services: Connect additional third-party services or APIs

Exporting your code gives you complete ownership of your project’s source files, allowing you to build upon the foundation that Creatr provides while adding your own custom development when needed.
