Blogger to WordPress Migration Tools and Plugins

The right way to move a Blogger blog to WordPress depends on how many posts you have and whether you need comments and redirects. For a handful of posts, copy and paste them; for a full blog, use a plugin that reads Blogger's backup or your live blog; if you'd rather not do it yourself, pay a migration service.

Most older guides point to two tools that no longer work: WordPress's own Blogger importer, which can't read the backup Blogger gives you now, and Google's online Blogger-to-WordPress converter, which is offline. This page compares what still works. For the whole move, from hosting to redirects, see how to migrate Blogger to WordPress.

We checked every claim on this page on the tools' own websites on 13 and 14 November 2026. Prices and features change, so check again before you pay.

Which one should you use?

• A handful of posts: copy and paste them. It costs nothing.
• Free, and you're happy to test: a plugin that reads Blogger's feed.atom backup, such as Feed Importer for Blogger or BtW Importer.
• You need comments moved: Blogger Importer Extended or Blogger Import Wizard Pro. Most other tools skip comments.
• Dozens or hundreds of posts, with no file to export: Blog Porter reads your public blog and shows the exact price before you pay.
• Someone else does it: a migration service such as Seahawk Media (from $499).

Why the old tools stopped working

Blogger's backup is now a feed.atom file you download through Google Takeout. See how to export a Blogger blog.

• WordPress's Blogger importer. The official Blogger Importer was built for Blogger's older .xml backups. A WordPress bug report from November 2025, ticket #64207, says it can't process the new format and imports nothing. Its last release, 0.9.3, came out in October 2024. It's still worth a try if you kept an old .xml backup.
• Google's Blogger to WordPress converter. The online converter at blogger2wordpress.appspot.com returns a "not found" error. It came from Google's Blog Converters project, released in 2009 and now archived. It turned the old Blogger export into a WordPress file, and predates feed.atom. We found no current online converter that does the same.
• WordPress.com's Blogger importer. The old help page now redirects to WordPress.com's import overview, which doesn't list Blogger. For platforms that aren't listed, it says to use the default WordPress importer if you have an .xml file.
• "FG Blogger to WordPress". People search for it, but there's no such plugin. Frédéric Gilles's FG migration plugins cover Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, Magento, OpenCart and SPIP, not Blogger.

The options compared

Copy and paste

• Price: Free.
• Posts covered: All of them, one at a time.
• Images: A pasted image can keep loading from blogger.googleusercontent.com. Select each one and use Upload to Media Library in the block toolbar, or it may stop displaying once the original file is moved or deleted.
• Effort: High. You fix the formatting and set each date and slug yourself.

Feed Importer for Blogger (free)

Feed Importer for Blogger reads the feed.atom file from Google Takeout.

• Price: Free.
• Posts covered: Posts, and pages if you turn that on.
• Images: Downloaded into the Media Library.
• Labels: Imported as tags.
• Left to do by hand: Comments and redirects. Its requirements list a 64MB upload limit.
• Installations: 300+.

BtW Importer (free)

BtW Importer also reads the .atom file from Google Takeout.

• Price: Free.
• Images: Downloads Blogger-hosted images.
• Redirects: Can add them from old /YYYY/MM/slug.html addresses, on the same domain only.
• Left to do by hand: Comments.
• Installations: 600+.

Blogger Import Wizard (free, with a Pro version)

Blogger Import Wizard imports from your public blog address or from feed.atom.

• Price: Free for up to 50 posts and 20 pages per run. Unlimited posts, every post image and comments are in the paid Pro version.
• Labels: Imported as categories.
• Installations: 80+.

Blogger Importer Extended (free, with a paid licence)

Blogger Importer Extended connects to Blogger through Google's Blogger API, so there's no file to upload.

• Price: Free for up to 20 posts or pages. A paid licence removes the limit.
• Covers: Posts, pages, comments, images, labels and authors.
• Redirects: Can set up 301 redirects.
• Installations: 4,000+.

Migration services

• Seahawk Media: its Blogger to WordPress service starts at $499. The page says it moves posts, pages, images, comments, URLs and SEO metadata. Ask what's included before you pay.
• pipdig: lists a Blogger to WordPress migration at $250, with a WordPress theme, but it was out of stock when we checked.
• Freelancers: marketplaces such as Fiverr have Blogger migration offers. Ask how they handle images, comments and redirects.

Your web host

Don't count on it. Bluehost says there's no direct way to transfer a Blogger site to its hosting and gives do-it-yourself steps. Hostinger's free migration page doesn't mention Blogger, and its Blogger tutorial dates from 2019, before the current backup format. SiteGround's migrator only moves WordPress sites.

Blog Porter

Blog Porter is our plugin. You install it in WordPress, choose Blogger and enter your blog's address, either yourblog.blogspot.com or your custom domain. There's no file to export or upload. See the Blogger to WordPress page for what it moves.

• Price: $0.20 per post, with a minimum of 5 posts, paid once. A 100-post blog costs $20. The free analysis lists the posts it found and the exact price before you pay.
• Posts covered: Every published post, read from your blog's public feed page by page, up to 5,000 posts.
• Images: Downloaded into your Media Library in resumable batches, with a retry for any that fail. Each post gets its first image as the featured image.
• URLs and slugs: Each post keeps its original slug and publish date. To keep the same addresses, see keep your Blogger URLs in WordPress.
• Labels and authors: Labels become WordPress tags. Authors are matched to WordPress users by name, or added.
• Left to do by hand: Redirects, comments, pages, drafts, your design and Blogger's search descriptions.

Your blog must be public with its feed turned on. Google says site feeds don't work with private blogs.

When Blog Porter isn't the right choice

• You need comments moved. Blog Porter moves published posts only. Blogger Importer Extended lists comments.
• You only have a handful of posts. Copying them costs nothing.
• Your blog is private. Blog Porter reads the public feed. A file importer with your Takeout backup can work instead.

We haven't tested the third-party plugins above. Read recent reviews, back up your WordPress site first and check a sample of posts after any import.

Next step

If Blog Porter fits your blog, install the Blog Porter plugin and run the free analysis. Then follow how to migrate Blogger to WordPress for the rest of the move, and keep your Blogger blog published until you've checked your posts, images and redirects.
