Compared
AI website builders that give you the code, compared.
Which AI website builders hand you the site’s code, in what form, and what else they do. Every fact about another builder comes from its maker’s own pages, checked on November 10, 2026.
- Which AI website builders give you the code?
- v0, Bolt.new, Lovable and Replit let you download the project or sync it to GitHub, and Webflow exports plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Tesseract keeps the site as files in a folder on your computer and turns it into a Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt or Django project.
- Which AI website builders don’t give you the code?
- Wix says its sites run on its own servers, and Durable lists no code export. Framer’s own help pages disagree on whether you can export the site.
- Can an AI website builder give me a Next.js project?
- Yes. v0 writes Next.js and React, and Tesseract turns a site it built into a Next.js project, or Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt or Django.
- Is there an AI website builder with a desktop app?
- Tesseract (Mac, Windows and Linux), Replit (Windows, Mac and Linux), Lovable and Framer (Mac and Windows) have desktop apps. Tesseract keeps the site as files on your computer.
