How to Move Your ThemeForest Items to manob.ai, Step by Step
By Manob Editorial ·
To move your ThemeForest items to manob.ai, add the free manob Migrator extension to Chrome, sign in to manob.ai, check the list of your items, and approve the ones you want. Files, images, demo, description, tags and price come across. You can keep selling on ThemeForest, because Envato removed exclusivity on July 1, 2026.
Can you sell the same item elsewhere now?
Yes, according to Envato. Its Author Hub says that from July 1, 2026 exclusivity requirements were removed entirely, and authors may sell the same content on other platforms without taking it off Market. The Market Author Terms say items are listed "on a non-exclusive basis". They add that the author fee applies "irrespective of whether you make your Items available elsewhere".
manob.ai is non-exclusive too, so "moving" is really copying. Your ThemeForest listing stays where it is. If you want to copy items by hand instead, the older manual move guide covers it.
Before you move: checklist
- Read Envato's terms yourself. Envato's user terms ban scripts or bots that mass-download items. The extension works one item at a time after your click, but we don't claim Envato approves of it, and you're responsible for your own account.
- Check you own what you're moving. Images, fonts, icons and code libraries in your files need licenses that let you sell them in a product on another site. Your own copyright is only part of it.
- Look at your demo. A demo with buy buttons that point back to a marketplace has to be changed before review. Reviewers may ask for it.
- Pick a browser. Chrome is the main one. Edge and Brave work the same way. In other browsers, add items one at a time with Upload in the seller menu.
- Decide on licenses and prices. Items come over at the price they have today and you can change it later. If Regular and Extended are new to you, read Regular vs Extended License.
The one-click migrator step by step
The manob.ai/migrator page lists four steps. Here they are in order:
- Add the free extension. Install manob Migrator in Chrome. The extension is made by Manob AI Limited and only works on manob.ai.
- Sign in to manob.ai. You need a seller account. If you haven't set one up, our guide to selling website templates walks through it.
- Check the list of your items. The tool reads your portfolio from the marketplace session already open in your browser. That means you must be signed in to ThemeForest (or CodeCanyon, or TemplateMonster) in a tab. It never asks for your password.
- Approve the items you want to move. Choose some or all. After you approve, manob.ai fetches the files on its side, so you can close the tab or the laptop and check progress later.
The page states a limit worth knowing: the extension needs an active marketplace session in your browser. It doesn't state limits on item counts or file sizes, so if you have a very large portfolio or heavy files, try a few items first.
What comes across and what doesn't
| Moves with the item | Stays on ThemeForest |
|---|---|
| Files | Your sales counts, ratings, reviews and badges |
| Images | Your existing buyers and their support threads |
| Demo | The Envato item page itself |
| Description | Your Envato license history |
| Tags | |
| Price (the current one) |
The left column comes from the migrator page. The right column is our reading of how a new listing works: a listing on another site starts without your Envato history. We make no promise about how that affects sales.
Migrated items still go through manob.ai's normal review, like every product, and nothing goes live before a reviewer has looked at it. Reviewers may ask for changes, such as replacing demo buttons that link back to a marketplace.
What it costs
Migration is free. manob.ai takes a 35% commission only when an item sells, so sellers keep 65% of each sale (as of October 2026). There is no listing fee on the migrator page, and no charge for the extension.
For comparison, Envato says authors receive 50% of the item price, and TemplateMonster says 20%. The platforms differ in audience and in what they charge the buyer, so the share alone doesn't tell you which earns more. Our TemplateMonster commission post shows the rates side by side.
After you approve: what to expect
Once you approve, the work shifts to manob.ai's side. The files are fetched there, which is why the tab can be closed. You can check progress later on the migration page. Each item then waits in the normal review queue, the same one a product uploaded by hand goes through.
Plan for a short back-and-forth. A reviewer may come back with a request, most often about the demo. If your Envato demo has "Buy now" buttons that point at a marketplace, change them or hide them in a copy of the demo you host yourself, then reply. Once an item passes, it goes live with the price it came over with, unless you changed it.
Also look at each listing once it arrives. The migrator copies what is on the source page, so typos and old wording come with it. A quick read of the title, description and tags is worth five minutes per item, and it's the right moment to remove lines that only make sense on the original marketplace.
Keeping ThemeForest listings alongside
Nothing in the migrator removes or edits your Envato items. Once the new listings are live you'll have the same item in two places. A few habits help:
- Keep version numbers in step. When you update a file, update it in both places.
- Answer support where the buyer bought. A ThemeForest buyer goes to ThemeForest.
- Keep your pricing decision written down, so you know why the same item costs what it does in each place.

When to look elsewhere
Skip the migrator if you only have one or two items; Upload in the seller menu is quick enough. Skip it if your files include third-party assets you can't relicense. And if you want the lowest fees and already have traffic, a direct store may beat any marketplace, as our ThemeForest alternatives guide explains.
