Open BMPR files
WireMagic opens Balsamiq .bmpr projects with a free read-only preview, shows you exactly what imported, and converts to a fully editable project when you choose.
Preview a BMPR file
- Download WireMagic for macOS or Windows and start on Free Basic — no account or card needed for local preview.
- Open your .bmpr file from inside WireMagic, or double-click it in your file manager.
- The project opens as a read-only preview: browse every page and inspect the result before deciding anything.
Your original .bmpr file is opened read-only and is never modified by preview or conversion.
Read the import report
Instead of a bare "import finished", WireMagic reports what it actually recovered:
- Pages recovered, in their original order.
- Controls restored on each page.
- Resources and assets found in the project.
- Symbols and Alternates detected in the file.
- Warnings for anything that did not map cleanly, so surprises are visible up front.
Convert to an editable project
When the preview looks right, convert the project into a native .wiremagic file — fully editable, AI-ready, and stored locally on your disk. Editable BMPR conversion is included in the Classic, Plus, and Pro plans; see pricing for the current comparison.
Notes and limits
- Preview is free and unlimited — you can inspect any number of BMPR files before upgrading.
- WireMagic targets low-fidelity wireframes: content, structure, and layout carry over; anything that cannot map cleanly is listed in the import report rather than silently dropped.
