How to migrate from Unlayer Studio to Stripo before June 30

Unlayer Studio will permanently shut down on June 30, 2026. After that, Studio accounts will no longer be accessible, stored designs will be removed, and assets hosted on Unlayer domains will stop loading. Unlayer also states that it does not offer a migration path from Studio, so it is important to export your work before the deadline.

If you're moving to a new email editor, Stripo lets you import your existing HTML templates and continue working with a drag-and-drop editor. You can also build new emails faster using more than 1,650 prebuilt templates, reusable modules, and direct integrations with over 90 ESPs and marketing platforms.

We will walk you through the migration process, from exporting your templates and assets in Unlayer Studio to importing them into Stripo and preparing them for sending.

Before you start: What to save from Unlayer Studio

Before moving your templates to Stripo, make sure you've downloaded everything you'll need. This will help avoid missing images, broken links, or content that can't be recovered after the shutdown.

Save the following items:

• email templates;
• landing page templates, if you use them;
• exported HTML files;
• all images used in your templates;
• logos;
• banners;
• product images;
• social media icons;
• any assets that still use assets.unlayer.com or cdn.tools.unlayer.com;
• custom files used in your emails or landing pages;
• merge tags or personalization syntax used by your ESP.

Important: Export your templates and download all assets before June 30, 2026. Once Unlayer Studio is retired, you won't be able to access your account or retrieve hosted files.

Step 1. Export your templates from Unlayer Studio

Start by exporting every template you want to keep:

1. Sign in to your Unlayer Studio account.
2. Open the Campaigns page.
3. Select a template.
4. Export or download an HTML file.
5. Save it to your computer.
6. Repeat these steps for each template you want to migrate.

Unlayer Studio does not support bulk exporting, so each template must be exported individually. If you have many templates, start with those currently active or reused most often.

Step 2. Download Unlayer Studio hosted assets

Exporting your HTML is only part of the migration. Your templates may still reference images and other files hosted on Unlayer Studio’s servers. Once Unlayer Studio is retired, those files will no longer be available.

Open each exported HTML file in a text editor and search for the following domains:

• assets.unlayer.com;
• cdn.tools.unlayer.com;
• unlayer.com.

For every asset you find:

1. Copy the URL.
2. Open it in your browser.
3. Download the file.
4. Save it locally.
5. Repeat this process until all hosted assets have been downloaded.

Important: This is the most important part of the migration. If your templates still reference Unlayer-hosted images, those images may no longer appear in your emails or landing pages.

Step 3. Upload your assets to new storage

After downloading your assets, upload them to a location that will remain available after the Unlayer Studio shutdown.

You can:

• use your own image hosting or CDN;
• connect external image storage to Stripo.

Stripo supports external image storage providers, including Stripo Image Storage, Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Cloudinary, and other compatible storage solutions. Once your files have been uploaded, replace the old Unlayer URLs in your HTML with the new asset URLs before importing your templates into Stripo.

Step 4. Import your template into Stripo

Once your templates and assets are ready, you can import them into Stripo:

1. Create a new email in Stripo.
2. Choose Import.
3. Upload your HTML, MJML, or ZIP file, or paste the HTML/MJML code.
4. Open the imported template in the editor.
5. Review the layout and content.

Imported HTML templates can usually be updated by editing text, images, links, and other content immediately. If you need to make larger layout changes, you can edit HTML or gradually rebuild individual sections with Stripo's structures, blocks, and modules. You don't have to recreate an entire email at once; you can update only the sections you want to edit visually.

Step 5. Verify your assets

After importing a template, check that all images and files are loaded correctly.

Review the following:

• hero images;
• logos;
• product images;
• icons;
• social media icons;
• background images;
• GIFs;
• footer images;
• thumbnails;
• linked files.

If you find any references to assets.unlayer.com or cdn.tools.unlayer.com, replace them with the URLs from your new image storage before using the template.

Step 6. Review your email settings

Before exporting or sending your email, check the following:

• subject line;
• hidden preheader;
• links and button URLs;
• image alt text;
• font fallbacks;
• mobile layout;
• dark-mode appearance;
• footer and unsubscribe information;
• merge tags for your ESP;
• conditional or dynamic content, if your email uses it.

A quick review will catch small issues before an email reaches your subscribers.

Step 7. Export your template

Once you've finished reviewing your template, export it using the method that fits your workflow.

Stripo supports several export options:

• direct export to supported ESPs and marketing platforms;
• download as HTML or ZIP;
• export to Gmail or Outlook.

If your ESP isn't available as a direct integration, simply export the HTML file from Stripo and import it into your email platform manually.

Step 8. Test before sending

Before sending your migrated email, run one final check.

Make sure to:

• preview the email on desktop and mobile;
• send a test email;
• verify links and buttons;
• confirm that all images load correctly;
• check how the email renders in your ESP;
• run email client testing if needed.

Once everything looks correct, your template will be ready to send.

Common migration issues

Images don’t load

Cause: Your template still references images hosted on Unlayer domains.

Fix: Download the missing images, upload them to your new image storage, and replace the old URLs.

Social icons disappeared

Cause: Icons still point to cdn.tools.unlayer.com.

Fix: Upload them to your new storage, or replace them with a new social block in Stripo.

A layout can't be edited

Cause: The imported HTML wasn't originally built in Stripo.

Fix: Update the HTML in the code editor or rebuild the section using Stripo structures, blocks, or modules if you need full visual editing.

Fonts look different

Cause: A selected font isn't supported by your email client or ESP.

Fix: Review your font settings, use appropriate fallback fonts, and test the email before sending.

Merge tags don't work

Cause: Merge tag syntax differs between email platforms.

Fix: Replace original merge tags with the syntax required by your ESP.

Wrapping up

Migrating from Unlayer Studio takes a little preparation, but the process is straightforward if you export your templates, move your assets, and review everything before sending. Once your templates are in Stripo, you can continue editing, testing, and exporting your emails without depending on Unlayer Studio.
