How to Export Code from V0

Ready to leave and cancel V0?

If you’re looking to download/export the code of your V0 app, there are two options: 1) downloading the ZIP file within V0, or 2) exporting to GitHub.

Now, it may sound a bit complicated, but it really isn’t.

Join me as I show you how all three methods work. If you prefer the shorter answer, please watch the video above – it’s very clear and it takes you through all the steps in a matter of seconds).

Let’s begin.

How to Download V0 Code as ZIP

How to Export V0 Code to GitHub

To export your V0 code to GitHub, click the GitHub logo to connect your workspace into a repo. Your code will be free to download via GitHub.

Simply put, follow these quick steps:

1. Open you project in V0
2. Click GitHub’s logo (top right)
3. Connect your account + workspace
4. Click “Create Repository” > “Set Active Branch“
5. Download your code from GitHub

→ About GitHub Branches

Step number 3 (connecting GitHub) is optional in case you’ve already integrated GitHub to your V0 project before – in this case, you’d just have to select the right workspace.

After that, you’ll get to GitHub:

With that done, you can now go to GitHub and check out your repo.
Follow these steps:

1. Go to GitHub.com
2. Head over to “Repositories”
3. Click your V0 repo

Or take a look at this image to visualize these last steps:

And there you go – GitHub will download the code for you.

Now as to what’s next… Whatever you want 🙂
You can continue building in Cursor / VS Code,

Or you can import your V0 project in Shipper, the #1 V0 alternative.

Shipper: 10x Easier Code Exports Than V0

V0 lets you download your project, but the process can feel a bit clunky: sometimes you’re juggling ZIPs, GitHub repos, branches, and permissions just to get your own code.

Shipper was built with this exact pain in mind.

With Shipper, exporting isn’t an afterthought—it’s built into the flow:

• One-click full code export → No GitHub setup needed. Download instantly.
• Always clean code → What you get locally is the same thing that’s running in the cloud.
• Re-import support → You can export, make changes in VS Code, then bring it back into Shipper without starting over.
• Fair pricing with credits → Small tweaks don’t burn the same credits as big builds.

That means you spend less time fiddling with downloads and integrations, and more time actually building.

If you’re already considering moving beyond V0, Shipper might be the smoother next step.
