Bring your board with you

Move a board from Trello, Jira, Asana or any spreadsheet into craaft. Upload the export, check what comes across, and land on a new board with your columns and cards in place.

How it works

4 steps, and nothing is made until the last one

  1. Step 1

    Choose the source

    Pick Trello, Jira, Asana, CSV or craaft. Or drop the file in and craaft works out which it is.

  2. Step 2

    Upload the file

    One export, up to 5 MiB.

  3. Step 3

    Match the columns

    For a CSV, craaft matches your headers to card fields and shows the first 3 rows. Change any match, or leave a field out.

  4. Step 4

    Check the preview, then import

    See the board’s name, its columns with their card counts, and who gets access. Nothing exists until you press Import.

Importing a CSV: craaft has matched the file's Title, Description, Status, Due date, Priority and Labels columns to card fields.

From Trello

In Trello, open the board menu, then Print, export and share, then Export as JSON.

  • Lists become columns, in the same order
  • Cards keep their description and due date, labels become tags, and members become assignees
  • Checklists and comments come across
  • Archived cards stay archived

Trello’s export keeps only the latest 1,000 actions, so on a busy board the oldest comments aren’t in the file. Attachments stay in Trello.

From Jira

In Jira, search for the issues, then Export, then Export CSV (all fields).

  • Summary becomes the title, and Description the description
  • Each Status becomes a column
  • Due date, Priority, Labels and Assignee map across

craaft spots a Jira export by its Summary, Issue key and Status columns, and fills in the matches for you.

From Asana

In Asana, open the project menu, then Export, then CSV.

  • Name becomes the title, and Notes the description
  • Each Section/Column becomes a column
  • Due Date, Tags and Assignee Email map across
  • Completed tasks come in archived

From a spreadsheet

Any spreadsheet saved as CSV (UTF-8), with a header row and one row per card.

  • Match any header to the title, description, column, due date, priority, tags, assignee or archived
  • Common headers like Status, Due and Labels are matched for you
  • Dates can be 2026-10-20, 20/10/2026 or 10/20/2026: craaft works out the order for each file

From another craaft board

In a craaft board, open Settings, then Import / export, then Export JSON.

  • Columns keep their colours, WIP limits and which ones count as done
  • Cards keep their checklists and comments
  • Useful for copying a board into another workspace

What every import does

  • Makes a new board, and changes nothing that already exists
  • Takes up to 2,000 cards and 200 columns from one file
  • Matches assignees to people in your workspace by email, username or name, and gives them access to the new board
  • Sends no emails or notifications while it runs
  • Works on every plan. The new board counts towards the 3 projects on Free

Bring one board over and see

Free for 3 projects, with no credit card to enter. Every board exports again as JSON or CSV whenever you want to leave.
