How do I export my site?

Download a portable .tar.gz of your live site files — yours to keep, host elsewhere, or hand to another agency.

You own your site. We’ve always meant that, and the export option on the Account page makes it literal.

How to request one.

  1. Open Account in your dashboard.
  2. Scroll to the Privacy & Data card.
  3. Under "Export your site", click Request export.

We’ll start packaging your site in the background — this usually takes a few minutes — and email you the moment the download link is ready. The link is signed and expires after seven days; if you need it again later, just request a fresh export.

What’s in the bundle.

A single .tar.gz archive containing:

  • Every HTML page on your site, mirroring the URL structure (the root index becomes index.html, /about/ becomes about/index.html, etc).
  • All your CSS and JavaScript.
  • Every image, font, and other asset your pages reference.
  • An EXPORTED.md note inside the bundle that says when the snapshot was taken and what it contains.

Unpacking it.

A .tar.gz is the same format the rest of the web ships in. On Mac or Linux, double-click in Finder, or run tar -xzf yoursite.tar.gz in a terminal. On Windows, open it with 7-Zip or WinRAR — both handle .tar.gz natively.

Hosting it yourself.

The bundle is a static site — no server, no database, no build step. Drop the contents onto any static host (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, GitHub Pages, S3 + CloudFront, even a flash drive). Read the self-hosting guide for the details.

A few things to know.

  • This is a snapshot. Future changes you make on MantelMarketing won’t appear in this download — request a fresh export when you want a current copy.
  • The export is owner-only — collaborators can comment and approve, but only the account owner can request an export of the site files.
  • Your site needs to be live before you can export it — there’s nothing to bundle until we’ve published.
  • Exports are rate-limited to one per day per account, and stored on our side for 30 days before they’re purged.
