Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is Convertex?

Convertex is an online tool that transforms HTML/CSS code into native Webflow elements. You paste code, click Convert, and you can paste the result directly into Webflow Designer. Learn more ->

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Convertex is designed for Webflow designers who do not code. The AI (Claude) can generate the code for you: you describe what you want in plain language, and the code is created automatically. See how ->

What is the difference between Convertex and a normal copy-paste into Webflow?

When you copy standard HTML/CSS and paste it into Webflow, Webflow does not understand it -- nothing happens. Convertex translates the code into the specific format Webflow expects, with the correct classes, styles, breakpoints, and structure.

Is Convertex free?

Yes, the free plan provides 15 conversions per month with access to all basic features. No credit card required. Paid plans (Starter at $19/month and Pro at $29/month) offer more conversions and features. See plans ->

Does Convertex work with any HTML/CSS code?

Yes, in the vast majority of cases. Convertex handles standard HTML elements, modern CSS (Flexbox, Grid, CSS variables, media queries, pseudo-classes), and special Webflow components. See what is supported ->

AI Questions

Why do I need Claude?

Claude is optional. It lets you generate HTML/CSS code by describing what you want, instead of writing the code yourself. If you already have code, you can use Convertex in manual mode without Claude.

What is the MCP?

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the connection between Claude and Convertex. It allows Claude to send the code it generates directly into your Convertex editor, without manual copy-paste.

What are Skills?

Skills are "rule sheets" installed in Claude. They teach it how to write code that converts perfectly into Webflow. Without Skills, Claude writes generic code that may cause issues during conversion.

Is Claude free?

Claude has a free plan, but the MCP (the connection with Convertex) requires a Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan. Claude Pro costs $20/month on claude.ai.

Why does Claude ask me 3 questions at the start?

Claude asks your preferences before generating code: Client-First or free naming, rem or px, and the content language. You can answer these questions directly in your prompt to save time.

Conversion Questions

How long does a conversion take?

1 to 2 seconds.

Is the result pixel-perfect?

The result is very faithful to the original for layout, typography, colors, and responsive design. CSS and JavaScript animations are also preserved (see below).

What is a ghost block?

A ghost block is a small CSS embed element created when a CSS property cannot be translated into a native Webflow style. The visual result is identical. It is a safety net to guarantee fidelity.

Are animations preserved?

Yes. CSS transitions (hover, focus) are converted natively. CSS @keyframes animations are included in a CSS embed (ghost block) and work directly in Webflow -- no need to recreate them with Webflow Interactions. JavaScript animations (GSAP, ScrollTrigger, Swiper, AOS, etc.) are included as external scripts if the libraries are detected.

Note: highly advanced effects such as WebGL, Three.js, Canvas, or 3D shaders are not supported. These technologies require a GPU rendering context that the converter cannot reproduce.

Will my images be imported?

Images referenced by URL (http/https links) will work in the preview and in Webflow. Local images (src="images/photo.jpg") will need to be replaced with absolute URLs or re-uploaded in Webflow.
