Jumpstart your work in Lucidspark by importing existing files. Read this article to see the steps to import using a CSV file, add a static image, and develop an API import.

Plan availability: Free, Individual, Team, and Enterprise.

Import from Miro or MURAL

For detailed steps to import from Miro or MURAL read the following articles:

Import from FigJam

You can import content from FigJam into Lucidspark using copy and paste. To do so:

  1. In a FigJam board, highlight and copy all content you want to move to Lucidspark.
    • Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl/Command+C.
  2. In a Lucidspark board, right-click and select Paste.
    • Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl/Command+V.

All supported content will appear on your Lucidspark board.

Learn more: Learn more about which content is supported in Lucidspark following copy and paste. Additionally, get instructions to import an image of unsupported content from FigJam into Lucidspark. Check out this Import FigJam boards into Lucidspark using copy and paste community post.

Import a CSV file

After you export data as a CSV from a different platform, you can import that file into Lucidspark as Lucid Cards or sticky notes. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Export the data as a CSV. 
  2. In a Lucidspark board, click more menu icon in lucidspark.png the More Menu icon in the upper-left corner.
  3. In the menu that appears, hover your cursor over Insert
  4. Hover your cursor over CSV.
  5. Click Lucid Cards or Sticky Notes.
  6. Select the CSV file you want to upload.

Depending on your selection, Lucid Cards or sticky notes will be created on your Lucidspark board for each line of text in your CSV file.

For the best results, ensure your board on another platform only contains the content you want to export before downloading. If your CSV file is already exported, we recommend reviewing the content included in the file prior to importing into Lucidspark. Both recommendations will help ensure your resulting import displays the exact information you want.

Tip: Ask questions and get support from experts on importing into Lucidspark in the Lucid Community.

Transfer an image

Images of content are static, so this method is best if you don’t need to edit content after import. To bring an image of another board into Lucidspark, follow these steps:

  1. Export your board as an image or PDF.
  2. In Lucidspark, select more_menu_icon_in_lucidspark.png the More Menu icon in the upper-left corner.
  3. Click Insert.
  4. Click Image.
  5. Select the PNG or PDF file you want to import into Lucidspark.
  6. Click Open.

The image will now be on your Lucidspark board.

API import

We provide an API endpoint for technical users to write code to access Board Import in order to import more quickly and efficiently.

Tip: For technical instructions, check out our Developer Documentation article and get Professional Services for coaching and hands-on product education. Get support and connect with our API Engineering team in the Lucid for Developers community space.
