Import lets you bring existing code or designs into Replit Apps and continue building with Agent.
Supported sources
Replit validates compatibility before import starts.
For Figma designs, see Import Figma designs into Replit Design .

A GitHub repository URL
Access to the repository (public or private)
A Replit account
Option one: rapid import Rapid import works for public repositories.
Copy the repository path after github.com/.
Open https://replit.com/github.com/<owner>/<repo>.
Press Enter to start import.
Example
GitHub URL: https://github.com/exampleUser/my-app
Replit import URL: https://replit.com/github.com/exampleUser/my-app
Option two: guided import Guided import supports public and private repositories.
Open replit.com/import .
Select GitHub .
Connect your GitHub account.
Choose a repository.
Select Import .
What gets imported
Repository files and folders

Common run and build configuration
What is not imported

Reconnecting under Connected Services alone will not fix the import flow.
Reconnect GitHub from Git Providers
Open the Git Providers section in your Replit account settings, disconnect GitHub, and reconnect from the same screen. After this, your personal repositories should appear in the import dropdown.
Approve the Replit app for your GitHub organization
If the repository is owned by a GitHub organization, open https://github.com/settings/applications , find the Replit OAuth app, and grant it access to the organization under the third-party application access settings. Organization admins may need to perform this step if you are not an org owner.
Retry the import
Open replit.com/import and try the import again, both from the repository dropdown and by pasting the repository URL. ⏰ Estimated time: three minutes Import a local project by uploading a .zip file. Before you start
A .zip file that contains your project, 200 MB or smaller
A clear project root folder in the archive
A Replit account
If your zip is larger than 200 MB, the import form rejects it. Leave out dependency and build folders such as node_modules, .venv, or build to reduce the size. Replit reinstalls dependencies during import. Steps
Open replit.com/import .
Select ZIP .
Upload your .zip file.
Add any requested secrets and environment variables.
Select Import .
What gets imported
Project files and directory structure
Dependency files
Run and build defaults for Replit
What is not imported
Existing environment variable values
Custom domains
Platform-specific services that need manual setup
Existing database data
Existing third-party connector configuration

Paste a Bitbucket repository URL, or connect your Bitbucket account to search your repositories.
Agent support during the import may be limited compared to GitHub-hosted projects.
Spreadsheet
Upload an Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file, or paste a public Google Sheets URL.
Agent reads your spreadsheet structure and builds a full-stack app with a database seeded from your data.
Includes a UI to view, search, and manage your records.
Previous Agent export
Re-import a previously exported Agent App from a GitHub repository.
Replit preserves Agent-specific structure (code, database schema, backend functionality).
Database values and secret values are not imported.
Empty
Start with a completely empty project — no Agent, no framework selection, and no scaffolding.
Best for power users who want full control over project setup.
Limitations
Existing database data is not migrated.
ZIP uploads are limited to 200 MB.
Some complex or proprietary dependencies may need manual setup.
Large projects can take longer to process.
Best practices
Remove sensitive credentials before import.
Keep your source project structure clean.
Verify dependencies and run commands after import.
Test core flows before publishing.
Troubleshooting If import fails, check these areas first:
Compatibility errors : Verify required project files and supported frameworks.Access errors : Confirm repository or source permissions.Processing errors : Retry after simplifying project structure or reducing size.
If issues continue, visit the Replit Community Hub or contact Support .
Billing Imports that require Agent migration work can consume credits. Credit usage depends on project complexity.
