Clone any website
and make it your own

Yes, cloning a website is legal. What matters is what you publish. You can only put a site live with content you have the rights to use: your own material, anything you've licensed, or content you create or replace. You can't use Repaint to impersonate a person or business, or to pass off someone else's text, images, or branding as your own.

The simplest way to think about it is that a clone is a starting point you make your own, not a finished copy of someone else's site. As long as you have the right to publish what you end up with, you're fine.

We follow standard copyright safe harbor practices and respond to valid takedown requests. We also reserve the right to suspend accounts and take down sites used to impersonate others, infringe copyright, or otherwise misuse Repaint.

Repaint clones a website by reading the original and rebuilding it as a new site. When you paste a URL, Repaint crawls the pages, reads the content, downloads the images, and takes screenshots to understand the design and layout. It uses all of that as source material to recreate the site.

The goal is to match the original as faithfully as it can, so you get a new, editable site that closely resembles what you started with. From there, you can customize anything you want by chatting with Repaint.

Usually close enough to be immediately recognizable as the original, but not pixel-perfect. Repaint rebuilds the site by studying screenshots and content, so the overall design, layout, and structure come through clearly, while smaller details can differ.

Some things are genuinely hard to reproduce exactly: animations, precise responsive behavior at every screen size, and anything that runs on the backend. Simple sites can come out remarkably close, but there are almost always a few things to clean up afterward.

Anything that's off, you can fix by asking Repaint in plain language.

No. Repaint clones a website the same way a visitor sees it, by reading the live site directly. You don't need its code, its files, or any login details, and there's nothing to install or export.

The one limit is that Repaint can only reach pages that are publicly visible. Anything behind a login or password isn't accessible, so it can't be cloned.

Yes. Repaint can clone websites built on any platform, including WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, and GoDaddy, as well as fully custom-coded sites. Because Repaint reads your live website directly, the platform it was built on doesn't matter. If the site is online and public, Repaint can clone it.

Repaint recreates how a website looks, not what it does behind the scenes. It clones everything a visitor can see, like your pages, text, images, navigation, and design, but the functionality running underneath doesn't come with it. Databases, user accounts, checkouts, and custom server logic all stay behind.

Some front-end details, like animations, forms, and embeds, may not carry over perfectly on the first pass, but you can recreate them inside Repaint. And because Repaint only reads what's public, it can't reach pages hidden behind a login.

Yes. Cloning is a great way to move a site you own onto Repaint as it is. Repaint recreates your existing site as closely as it can, then hosts it so you can edit it by chatting with AI.

If you want a fresh design rather than an exact recreation, try Repaint's website redesign tool instead.

You edit your cloned site by chatting with AI, the same way you'd manage any Repaint site. Describe what you want in plain language and Repaint makes the change, whether that's swapping in your own text and images, adjusting the design, or adding new pages.

This is also where you replace anything you don't have the rights to use. Ask Repaint to drop in your own copy, photos, and branding, and the site becomes genuinely yours. For small, precise edits like fixing a typo, you can also make changes by hand.

Cloning a website with Repaint is free. You can clone a site, edit it, and publish it on a Repaint subdomain without paying anything or entering a credit card. Simple sites fit entirely within the free plan.

Premium is $20/month billed annually, or $25 month-to-month. It adds a custom domain, a much larger editing limit, and removes Repaint branding. Usage limits reset weekly and apply across all your sites. The free tier is sized for trying Repaint and building simple sites, while Premium covers most full business sites.
