How to Convert Any Website or HTML Page to Elementor (2026)
By Steven Van ·
MiroMiro compares rebuilding, pasting, design-file conversion and template export, and says export works with the free Elementor plugin in under a minute.
MiroMiro has published a guide comparing four ways to get an existing website or HTML page into Elementor. It covers what each method keeps and breaks, and which one works with the free Elementor plugin. The guide notes there is no "Import website" button in WordPress, so people often rebuild pages widget by widget.
The four methods
- Rebuild by hand with widgets: 30 to 90 minutes per section. Every piece is a native widget, but line heights, letter spacing and breakpoints drift, and the mobile layout is rebuilt separately.
- Paste source into an HTML widget: about 5 minutes per section, but it usually breaks. The copied HTML leaves out external CSS, framework class names mean nothing in WordPress, and View Source may not match JavaScript-rendered markup. It suits small snippets with inline styles.
- Convert from a design file: 10 to 20 minutes per section. Figma-to-Elementor plugins only help if you own the Figma file, and results depend on how cleanly it was built.
- Export the live section as an Elementor template: under a minute per section, and it keeps the design and the responsive behaviour. It does not need Elementor Pro.
How the export works
MiroMiro reads the section as the browser renders it, including layout, computed styles, fonts, colors, images and responsive rules. It packages the result as an Elementor template (.json) that WordPress imports natively. The steps:
- Install MiroMiro from the Chrome Web Store.
- Open the website and click Export in the MiroMiro panel.
- Click the section you want, such as a hero, pricing table or footer, or use Export full page.
- Open the Download menu and choose Elementor template.
- In WordPress, go to Templates → Saved Templates → Import Templates and choose the .json file.
- Open a page in Elementor, click the folder icon (Add Template), go to My Templates and click Insert.
This works with the free Elementor plugin. Any public website works, including React, Next.js, Webflow, Framer, WordPress or plain HTML, because MiroMiro reads the rendered page rather than the source.
Limits
- The section arrives as one HTML block, not separate native widgets. Text, links and images inside it can be edited, but there are no separate heading or button widgets to drag around. The guide says this trade-off keeps the result pixel-true.
- Images and fonts load from the original URLs. For production, upload your own images to the Media Library and swap them in.
Which to use
For native, drag-and-drop widgets that a client can edit, the guide suggests rebuilding by hand, using an exported section as the reference for spacing and colors. With a Figma file, use a Figma-to-Elementor plugin. For a live page that needs to be in Elementor now, export it as a template. The same export can also produce Tailwind, React, Vue or HTML + CSS instead. The guide also advises replacing copy, images and branding with your own before publishing anything based on someone else's site.
