Getting started

Lovable is an AI-powered platform that enables users of any skill level to create full-stack websites through natural language. Simply describe what you want, and Lovable builds it for you.
If you can imagine it, you can build it with Lovable. From simple landing pages to powerful tools tailored for niche use cases, Lovable gives you the flexibility to create whatever you need, without limits.
No. Lovable is designed for all levels of experience. Whether you’re a developer or a non-technical user, you can create websites using Lovable.
To create a project, simply type a message into the message box on the dashboard. Just describe what you want to build and Lovable will take it from there and generate a starting point for your project. Remember to start small and build in increments!
Yes, you can remix an existing public project or one of your own. Remixing allows you to reuse the current state of a project as a starting point and build upon it. It’s a great way to explore new ideas, make adjustments, or iterate with different changes while preserving the original version.

​
Building with Lovable

Building efficiently with Lovable is all about using the right techniques. Anyone can do it with a bit of practice. To help you get started, check out our guide.
  • Be clear and specific.
  • Focus on one feature at a time.
  • Build incrementally.
  • Use buzz-words for getting the design right.
1

Try-to-fix button

Use Try-to-fix option. Lovable will try to solve the issue automatically. Using the button doesn’t deduct any credits.
2

Investigate

If Try-to-fix doesn’t resolve the issue, ask the Lovable Agent to investigate the issue. Explain what you are seeing and what specific parts aren’t working.
3

Revert to an older version

If that doesn’t work, you can preview an older working version and then revert to that version if needed, or revert and edit a past message to explore a different approach. Nothing gets lost — all changes made after that point stay in the chat and can be reapplied anytime any.
Refactoring improves code structure and efficiency without altering functionality. It helps:
  • Optimize performance by removing redundancies.
  • Improve maintainability for future updates.
  • Prevent conflicts by structuring logic more clearly.
If you need to add backend capabilities to your application, you can:
Yes, you can add authentication by using Lovable Cloud or integrating with Supabase . Simply prompt the AI to add it and follow the instructions.
Yes, you can integrate APIs like OpenAI, Stripe, and more by specifying them in your prompt. Read more here.
No! Never enter your API keys directly in Lovable. If you’re integrating with an API, we recommend you use secrets in Lovable Cloud or Supabase to store your API keys, in combination with their Edge Functions.
You can add payments by adding Stripe to your project. See Stripe integration to set it up.
Ensure the best results by following our Implement SEO and GEO best practices guide.
It depends on complexity. By breaking tasks into smaller steps, planning ahead, and refining based on feedback, you can move quickly while ensuring quality.

Features

You can find the Project settings by clicking your project name at the top left of the editor and then selecting Settings.
Yes, navigate to the Project settings where you can change the visibility. See Control project visibility for more information.
Yes. When navigating to a private project, you can request viewer or editor access from the project owner. This keeps private work secure while making collaboration easier.
Yes, navigate to the Project settings where you’ll find the option to hide the badge. Only paying users can toggle off the badge.
Yes, navigate to the Project settings and where you’ll find the option to rename the project.
To make a copy of a project, you remix it. Go to the Project Settings and select the Remix option.Remixing creates an exact copy of the project in your currently selected workspace. You can then edit it independently.
You can only remix public projects from other users if the project is not connected to Supabase.
Yes, navigate to the Project settings and where you’ll find the option to Delete the project.
This is final and there is no way to restore deleted projects.
You can read more about Lovable’s different modes and Chat mode here.
Yes. You can see the code and manually edit the code using Lovable’s Code mode.
Yes, you can edit text or colors using Visual Edits.
Yes, you can collaborate on projects inside Lovable. See Collaboration for more information.
See Publish and follow the steps outlined there to publish your project.
See Custom domain to add a custom domain to your project.
Yes. See Project analytics for more information.
Yes. Images as design inspiration, sketches of your desired layout, or screenshots of UI flaws are super helpful while designing your website.
Sadly, videos aren’t supported yet, but screenshots can often do the job.
Yes. By transferring your code to GitHub, you can export your code and do whatever you’d like with it. See GitHub integration for more information.
No, currently there is no way to start a Lovable project from already existing code on for example GitHub.
You can view your project history by simply scrolling up in the chat or pressing the View history icon on top of the chat. You can also select older versions to preview them or restore your project to that version.
Yes. You can preview an older working version and then revert to that version if needed, or edit a past message and revert to explore a different approach. Nothing gets lost — all changes made after that point stay in the chat and can be reapplied anytime any.
  • Find the option to revert under each response in the chat or in the history tab when you select the version you want to revert to.
  • Find the option to edit a past message and revert under each past message you sent in the chat.

​
Lovable API

The Lovable API makes it possible to create and share Lovable apps programmatically — turning ideas, prompts, or even images into fully-generated applications with a single link. The first release, Build with URL, allows you to generate apps directly from a shareable URL. With it, you can:
  • Embed a Build with Lovable button on your website or application.
  • Share predefined prompts via URLs with friends, collegues, or on social media.
  • Automate app generation as part of internal workflows.
  • Rapidly prototype apps using URLs with prompts and reference images.
Learn about the feature and real-world use cases in our announcement post: Build apps from a link with Lovable Build with URL.Read the full technical guide here: Lovable API: Build with URL documentation.

​
Managing your account

Unfortunately, changing the email address directly is not possible at this time. As a workaround, you can create a new account with your desired email address and transfer your projects by following these steps:
  1. Make your existing projects public temporarily and copy the URL.
  2. Access the URL whilst logged in to your new account.
  3. Remix the projects into your new account. Please note that projects connected to Supabase have to be disconnected from Supabase before you can remix them.
  4. Once the projects are transferred, you can make them private again if needed.
Note: If your target workspace is on a paid plan, remixing public projects may be necessary for access. Remixed projects won’t carry over subscription-level features unless the new workspace has them too.
To delete your account, go to Settings → Your Account, scroll down and press Delete account. This will permanently remove your account and all associated data.
No, you can’t reactivate a deleted account. However, after pressing the button to delete the account, this action can be cancelled within 48 hours to stop the deletion.
Yes, an owner can add multiple workspace owners.
One way around this is to remix the project, and the person who remixes the project will now be the owner of that version.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Lovable account by requiring a one-time code when you sign in, in addition to your usual sign-in method.

​
Set up 2FA

  1. Go to Settings → Account → Your account and enable Two-factor authentication.
  2. Choose and set up a verification method by following the on-screen instructions:
    • Authenticator app (recommended)
      Use an app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password to generate time-based one-time codes.
    • Phone (SMS)
      Receive 6-digit verification codes by text message.
  3. Click Verify & Enable.

​
Signing in with 2FA

When you sign in:
  1. Complete your usual sign-in method.
  2. Choose a verification method.
  3. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app or SMS.

​
Managing 2FA

  • You can add or remove 2FA methods from your account settings at any time.
  • We recommend keeping at least two methods configured to avoid getting locked out.
