Import from Bolt

Import Bolt.new projects into Alloy and create editable prototypes. Capture screens or upload links. Transform AI-generated apps in minutes.

Introduction

Alloy makes it easy to import apps from Bolt.new and transform them into editable prototypes that match your existing product's design system.

Whether you're testing new features or exploring UI variations, Alloy lets you capture Bolt-generated apps and modify them to align with your product's look and feel.

Capture screen from Bolt (recommended)

The Capture Screen method is the most accurate way to import your Bolt.new app into Alloy. It uses the Alloy Browser Extension to replicate your app with pixel-perfect precision.

Steps:

  1. Download and install the Alloy Browser Extension
  2. Open your Bolt.new project preview in a supported browser (Chrome, Arc, Edge, Brave)
  3. Click Capture Screen in the Alloy extension
  4. Wait a few moments while Alloy recreates your Bolt app inside the editor
  5. Start prototyping using:
    • Chat interface – type natural language prompts to make changes
    • Visual editing – select specific components and update them instantly

Best for:

  • Preserving the exact design and layout from your Bolt project
  • Capturing both light and dark theme configurations
  • Maintaining responsive breakpoints from Bolt's generated code

Upload your Bolt link

If your Bolt project has a public preview URL, you can import it directly into Alloy using the Upload Link feature.

Steps:

  1. Get the preview URL of your Bolt.new project
  2. Paste it into Alloy's Upload Link field
  3. Alloy will generate a recreation of your Bolt app
  4. Edit the design instantly using chat prompts or visual editing

Best for:

  • Quickly recreating Bolt apps without installing the extension
  • Simple, static designs from Bolt
  • Capturing publicly accessible preview pages

Tips for Bolt imports

  • Make sure your Bolt project is fully loaded in preview mode before capturing
  • Bolt's theme settings (dark/light/system) transfer to Alloy
  • Interactive features may need manual recreation in Alloy
  • Bolt's AI-generated styles convert well to Alloy's design tokens
  • Consider capturing multiple states or pages from your Bolt project
