Bolt.new is great for building React apps fast, but the exported ZIP is source code — not a live site. You need to build it first, then deploy the output somewhere. Here's how to go from Bolt export to a live site with your own URL.

How to deploy

From Bolt.new to live in minutes.

1

Export from Bolt.new

Click the project title in the top-left, then Export → Download. This saves a ZIP file with your full project source code.

2

Build the project

Bolt exports source code (React + Vite), not built output. Unzip the file and run the build command to generate the dist/ folder.

bash 
unzip my-project.zip && cd my-project && npm install && npm run build
3

Deploy to ZeroDeploy

Upload the dist/ folder via the dashboard (drag and drop) or use the CLI for a one-command deploy.

bash 
zerodeploy deploy --dir dist

Things to know

Bolt.new-specific tips to avoid common pitfalls.

  • The ZIP from Bolt is source code, not built output. You must run npm install && npm run build before deploying. Uploading the raw ZIP will not work.
  • If your Bolt project includes an Express or Node.js backend, only the frontend static files can be hosted on ZeroDeploy. The backend needs a separate server host.
  • Bolt projects typically use React Router. Create a public/_redirects file with /* /index.html 200 so deep links work correctly. Learn more about redirects →
