Labels

Trello label colors mapped to matching hex colors.

Checklists

Checklist items with completion state preserved.

How it works

Export from Trello, upload to a board, and let the queue do the rest.

1

Open your Trello board

In Trello, open the board you want to migrate.
2

Open the export menu

Click Show Menu → More → Print and Export. See Atlassian's export guide.
3

Save the JSON file

Choose Export as JSON. Keep the file under 10 MB.

Import into a board

Upload the export from any board you manage.
1

Open or create a board

From the dashboard, open a board or create a new one.
2

Open board settings

Click Settings, then scroll to Import from Trello.
3

Upload and import

Select your .json file and click Import Board.
4

Watch the status page

The page auto-refreshes until complete — a summary shows lists, labels, and cards imported.

Runs in the background

Imports are processed asynchronously via the queue — you can close the tab and come back. On self-hosted installs, make sure a queue worker is running (see Troubleshooting below).

Import coverage

Know exactly what transfers and what stays behind.
What gets imported

Lists

All non-archived lists, preserving order.

Cards

Open cards with title, description, due date, and position.

Labels

Trello label colors mapped to hex colors on your board.

Checklists

All checklist items with completion state.

What is not imported

Archived lists and cards

Closed items in Trello are not brought over.

Attachments

File contents are not transferred — re-upload manually.

Member assignments

Trello members must be matched to users manually.

Comments

Card discussion threads are not imported.

Activity history

Card move/change log from Trello is not preserved.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to fix them.

Invalid export file

The JSON must be a valid Trello board export with a name field at the root. Re-export from Trello if the file was edited or corrupted.

File too large

Exports must be under 10 MB. Archive old cards in Trello or split work across multiple boards before exporting.

Import stuck on "Queued"

Self-hosted installs need a queue worker running: php artisan queue:work. Without it, the import will never process.

Cards skipped with warnings

Cards whose lists were archived in Trello are skipped. Check the status page for a warnings list after import.

Self-hosting — queue worker

Required for Trello imports (and other background jobs) on your own server.
php artisan queue:work

Run this in a terminal or process manager (Supervisor, systemd, Laravel Horizon) so imports process after upload.
