FAQ

Is Swebsy free?

Building is free. Forever, no account needed. That’s the whole editor, every block and theme, static export, and one-click deployment to GitHub Pages. The exported ZIP works on any static host, so Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel and the rest are a manual upload away. With a free account and a verified email you can also publish one site on yourname.swebsy.site with Swebsy Hosting — no card, with the “Made with Swebsy” badge — and use cloud sync with 100 MB of storage. Publish free on yourname.swebsy.site; custom domains are paid. Swebsy’s paid plans add more sites, custom domains, version history, hosted forms, and badge removal. See Plans & billing for what each plan includes.

For AI, you bring your own model: either connect ChatGPT, Claude or a coding agent you already subscribe to (ChatGPT and Claude with one pasted URL; Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf through the bridge — no per-token API billing), or connect an API key (Anthropic, billed per token, or a free local model via Ollama / LM Studio).

Do I need to create an account?

Not to build. Swebsy runs entirely in your browser: no account, no sign-up, and no data sent to a server unless you deploy. An account is only needed for the cloud features — cloud sync and publishing one free site with Swebsy Hosting, plus the paid ones such as version history and custom domains. See Accounts & sign-in.

Can I use Swebsy offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded, Swebsy works offline. Deploying and loading Google Fonts need a connection.

How do I move my project to another computer?

1. Export a backup: Project → Export Project.
2. On the other computer, open Swebsy and go to Project → Import Project.

Can multiple people edit the same project?

Not at the same time. Swebsy is single-user, with no real-time collaboration or merging. You can pass a backup JSON back and forth: they import it, make changes, and send it back. With an account, cloud sync lets you work on the same site from several of your own devices — one at a time, with a conflict prompt if two devices diverge.

What browsers does Swebsy support?

Chrome and Edge (Chromium) work best. Firefox works. Safari may look slightly different in places. Internet Explorer isn’t supported.

Can I use Swebsy to build e-commerce sites?

Swebsy makes static HTML/CSS. It can show products, but there’s no built-in checkout. You can embed a third-party cart (Shopify Buy Button, Snipcart, etc.) via Settings → Advanced → Custom <head> code.

Where are my uploaded images stored?

Images are stored in your browser’s IndexedDB and bundled into your exported ZIP. Nothing is uploaded unless you deploy the site or turn on cloud sync — with sync on, a copy of each image is stored in your Swebsy account and counts toward your plan’s storage.

How do I delete a project?

Open the My Sites page and click the three-dot menu on the project card, then choose Delete. You can also delete the current project from inside the editor via Project → Delete. Export a backup first if you want to keep a copy.

Can I export the code and edit it manually?

Yes. Publish → Download site (ZIP) gives you clean HTML, CSS (compiled Tailwind) and assets. Open them in any editor and host them anywhere. Just know that hand edits don’t flow back into Swebsy, so keep a Project → Export Project backup if you’ll keep editing visually.

What is “Tailwind CSS v4” and why does Swebsy use it?

Swebsy’s design token system is built on Tailwind CSS v4 CSS custom properties. Tailwind classes are compiled into a single stylesheet at export time. You don’t need to know Tailwind to use Swebsy, but you can use raw Tailwind classes in the Design tab’s class input for full control.
