How it works

From .bmpr file to editable project in three steps.

1. Open the file

Open your existing Balsamiq project in WireMagic. No Balsamiq installation needed.

2. Inspect the import report

Explore the pages on the canvas. The import report shows what came across.

3. Convert when ready

Convert to a WireMagic project, then keep editing controls and adding pages.

A real file, from preview to the next edit

Three account-settings pages. One BMPR migration.

Compare three account-settings pages before and after import, then see the next edit in WireMagic.

FAQ

Opening BMPR files, answered.

How do I get started?

Download WireMagic and open your BMPR file. See the import guide for steps and compatibility, or compare plans.

Does WireMagic modify my original BMPR file?

No. Your original file stays intact. Conversion creates a separate .wiremagic project.

Are Symbols and Alternate versions imported?

Yes. Symbols and Alternate versions come across with your project. The import report shows the result.

Do I need Balsamiq installed?

No. WireMagic reads the .bmpr format directly on macOS and Windows. WireMagic is an independent product from Yibi AI LLC; Balsamiq is a trademark of its owner.
