Can You Export Leadpages to HTML or Host on Your Own Server? (2026)

Can you export a Leadpage to HTML? In the Classic Builder, yes. Every Classic landing page has a Download HTML option that you can upload to your own web host or paste into another site builder. The catch is that the standard download is a dynamic file: it loads your page from Leadpages, so analytics, forms and split tests keep working, but the page still depends on your Leadpages account. This guide covers what the export does, how to upload it, and the other publishing options that usually suit people better.

What the Leadpages HTML Download Actually Contains

Leadpages describes the downloaded code as a JavaScript snippet that imports your page to your server. Your server sends the small file, and the page itself still comes from Leadpages. That design has some benefits: you can edit the page in the builder and the change appears without re-uploading anything, opt-ins still reach your integrations, and the page's views and conversions still show in Leadpages analytics.

It also has limits worth knowing before you plan around it:

• It depends on your subscription. Leadpages' cancellation article says you own your pages' content and can export their HTML, but that most integrations rely on processing on its side, so not every function works once a page lives only on your server. It also says landing pages stop working as expected without an active subscription.
• Metadata is not included. Leadpages notes that meta tags you set in the builder are not part of the download, so add your title, description and social tags in the hosting page yourself. The Leadpages SEO guide covers which tags matter.
• The page URL must not change. The file refers to the page's Leadpages URL at the time of download. Rename the slug later and the exported copy goes blank until you download a new file.
• Redirects only work on the Leadpages-hosted version. On your own server, set redirects at your host.
• Security is yours. Pages on Leadpages are served over HTTPS automatically; on your own server, the SSL certificate is your responsibility.

The static HTML link, found below the main download button, gives you a flat copy instead. Leadpages warns that it stops analytics, split testing and the page builder from working normally and that support cannot help with it. Treat it as a snapshot, not a working page.

How to Download the HTML in the Classic Builder

1. Publish the page first. Publishing is available on paid plans.
2. Open Landing Pages in the account navigation menu.
3. Click the Actions menu next to the page and choose Publishing Options.
4. Choose HTML, then click Download Dynamic HTML.
5. From inside the builder instead, click Publish or the arrow next to Update, choose Publish Options, then Other Publishing Options and Download HTML.

Pages built in Page Studio or the newer Leadpages app follow different publishing screens. If you cannot find an HTML option, check which editor the page was made in; the editor guide explains how to tell them apart.

How to Upload a Leadpages Page to Your Website

Option 1: Upload the File to Your Server by FTP

1. Get your FTP login from your host's control panel (often cPanel) or from the host's support team.
2. Connect with an FTP client such as FileZilla, Cyberduck or Transmit.
3. Upload the file to the folder that matches the address you want. A file named offer.html in the site root, or index.html inside an /offer/ folder, gives you a clean path.
4. Visit the URL in a private browser window and submit a test opt-in.

Leadpages also says you can use a page as your server's custom 404 page if your host lets you set one, so check your host's naming rules for that file.

Option 2: Paste the Code Into a Site Builder

If your website runs on a hosted builder and you cannot reach the server, open the downloaded file in a text editor (double-clicking it in a browser shows a blank page), copy all of the code and paste it into the platform's custom HTML or code injection field. Some platforms block JavaScript or wrap custom code inside the site theme, so results vary. Leadpages says it cannot troubleshoot issues on your specific platform, and the Wix, Squarespace and Shopify guide explains which route fits each builder.

Other Ways to Put Leadpages on Your Own Domain

Most people asking how to host Leadpages on their own website really want their own address in the browser bar, not files on a server. Leadpages offers three routes for that, and each keeps the page fully working.

Custom domain: in the new app, go to Manage, then Domains, and click Connect Domain. Leadpages can add the DNS records at providers such as GoDaddy or Namecheap for you, or show records to add by hand, and it issues the SSL certificate automatically. Full steps are in the custom domain guide.

WordPress: the plugin fetches the latest published version of a page on each visit and serves it at a WordPress URL, with forms, A/B tests and tracking intact. Leadpages Sites cannot be published through it, only single pages. See the Leadpages WordPress plugin guide for setup.

Avoid domain masking. Leadpages warns that forwarding a domain with masking can break thank-you pages, buttons and forms and can lose opt-in data. Use one of the routes above instead.

What About the New Leadpages App?

The newer Leadpages app (help articles tagged New Leadpages) publishes pages with a Publish button in the editor, and its page menu offers actions such as Copy URL, Duplicate, Password Protect and Add to Site. None of its help articles document an HTML download, so plan on a connected domain or the WordPress plugin for pages built there. The Upload HTML option you will see when creating a page is an import: it brings an HTML file of up to 5 MB, or pasted code, into Leadpages. The templates import guide covers that direction.

When You Want a Page You Fully Own

If the goal is to leave Leadpages entirely, an HTML export will not get you all the way, because the dynamic file needs the service behind it and forms rely on Leadpages' back end. Before cancelling, download your leads and save your copy and images, since Leadpages says access to the image library, analytics and page copy ends with the subscription; the lead download guide covers the export. Then rebuild the page on the platform you are moving to, using your copy and images, and set up redirects from the old URLs. Leadpages also notes that a robots.txt file can only be used when pages sit on your own server, which matters for some SEO setups.
