LayerPort

Questions, answered clearly.

Practical answers before you capture a site, choose a plan, or hand the result to a client.

What does LayerPort do?

It captures a website you control, localizes its assets, and gives you a visual workspace to edit, version, optimize, review, export, and hand off the result.

Does this work on any website?

Any site you own or are authorized to move. LayerPort is tuned for Framer, Webflow, and generic static sites. It probes the URL first and reports the detected platform before you start. Highly dynamic applications may need manual review, which is why Free lets you capture your own home page before you pay.

Can I export a Framer website?

Yes, for a Framer site you own or are authorized to move. LayerPort captures published markup and assets into a localized project you can edit, review, or export as a portable ZIP.

Can I import or export a Webflow site?

Yes, for an authorized Webflow site. LayerPort localizes the published pages and assets, preserves responsive output for review, and adds version history, Source Sync, visual editing, forms, and portable handoff tools.

Do I need to install anything on the source site?

No. The current product policy does not request a source meta tag. You still need permission, and the selected authorization acceptance is recorded.

How is permission recorded?

The current policy records a separate authorization confirmation for each project. It does not request a technical source-control proof and does not create rights you do not have.

What exactly do I get at the end?

A portable project with pages and localized assets. You can keep it in the workspace, export a sanitized ZIP, upload it to a static host you control, or hand it to a client. The delivered site does not need LayerPort to be viewed.

How is this different from right-click, save page?

Saving a page gives you markup that still points at the original host and has no responsive layers, no version history, and no safe editing workflow. LayerPort localizes references, captures multiple widths, and keeps changes reversible.

What can I change in Live Edit?

Text, typography, spacing, corners, opacity, images and background images, alt text, and element order. A Content panel lists a page's text and images as a form, detected collections open as a table, and search and replace updates content across pages. Desktop, tablet, and phone layers inherit predictably.

Can I undo a restore?

Yes. Every save is atomic, the original capture remains available as version zero, and restoring creates a normal new revision. That means the restore itself can be undone.

What happens when the original site changes?

Use Source Sync. LayerPort captures the source again, reapplies your saved editing layers, carries the version history forward, and reports anything that needs review.

Does confirming authorization mean I own the copyright?

No. It records what you told us, not what we checked. Legal ownership is a separate question that no tool can answer, and confirming authorization creates no right you did not already have. Capturing material you are not entitled to move breaches the acceptable use policy.

Is my site uploaded anywhere?

Your captures are kept in your private account storage so you can come back to edit, export, or delete them. Nothing is published anywhere until you export or publish it yourself, and you can delete a project, or your whole account, from the app.

Can I share a preview without publishing to production?

Inside LayerPort the preview is private to your account. To show a client, export the ZIP and upload it to a preview on a host you control; a Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages preview works. LayerPort does not hand out public preview links.

Can I connect my own domain?

The exported files work with custom domains on static hosts, but DNS and domain connection are currently completed in the hosting provider rather than through LayerPort.

How do forms work?

Published forms can send to your own LayerPort endpoint. Submissions arrive in an inbox where you can mark read or spam, delete, and export CSV. Rate limits and a honeypot reduce abuse; Web3Forms remains an alternate mode.

What does image optimization change?

It creates WebP and, when supported, AVIF versions, rewrites references across common web files, and lazy-loads images below the first two on each page. Originals are kept unless safe pruning is requested.

Which plan should I choose?

Choose Site Pass for one portable handoff, Solo for a small roster with Source Sync, Studio for collections, forms, and a larger client roster, or Pro only when you need batch runs, queue priority, and larger limits.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, with no card. Free captures the home page of a site you own, so you can preview it at desktop, tablet, and phone widths and edit it in Live Edit before you pay. Downloading the files, Source Sync, and saved versions start with Site Pass or a subscription.

Is Site Pass tied to one site?

Yes. Site Pass is a one-time purchase for one project: it attaches to the first project you use it on and cannot be moved to another site or account. For more than one site, Solo keeps several projects editable and synced.

How does payment work?

Paddle runs checkout as our merchant of record, so the charge, the receipt, and any sales tax or VAT for your country are handled by Paddle. Prices are set in US dollars and Paddle may show your local currency before you pay. Site Pass is charged once; subscriptions renew monthly or yearly until you cancel them from your account. If you have not used a paid plan yet, you can ask for a full refund within 14 days.

Can I upgrade or downgrade later?

Yes, on the same subscription, from the pricing page or your account. An upgrade applies immediately and Paddle charges only the prorated difference for the rest of the period. A downgrade takes effect at your next renewal: nothing is charged today and you keep the higher plan until then.

Do I lose my files if I change plans?

No. Plan limits control which new jobs the server will start; they do not turn your existing project files into a locked format.
