Question 1

What is source ZIP conversion?

Accepted Answer

You upload a project archive — typically a React, Next.js, Vite, or Lovable export — and UICompiler returns standalone index.html, styles.css, and script.js. It is reconstructed frontend output, not a dump of the original component source.

Question 2

Is this the same as opening the ZIP from GitHub?

Accepted Answer

No. A GitHub or Lovable source export keeps the framework project (Node, dependencies, a build step). UICompiler compiles that project into three vanilla files you can open in a browser without installing anything.

Question 3

What files should the ZIP contain?

Accepted Answer

A complete frontend project that can be understood as source — for example package.json plus the app folder. Password-protected archives, empty folders, and unrelated binary dumps will fail.

Question 4

Are images and fonts bundled?

Accepted Answer

No. The download is HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Media URLs stay as found during compilation, so re-host those assets before production.

Question 5

Can I still convert from a public URL instead?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If the site is already published, paste the public URL on Lovable to HTML or the convert form. ZIP upload is for when you have the project files and not a public page.
