A powerful yet simple migration tool, BtW Importer helps you seamlessly transfer posts, images, and formatting from Blogger (Blogspot) to WordPress. Whether you're a casual blogger or managing a large archive, this plugin handles the complex parts so you don’t have to.

⚔️ Note

Make sure to check your content after you import contents. Also, this plugin doesn't overwrite current post or pages, so if you've imported posts or pages and want to import again, kindly delete the previous imported posts, pages, and images.

For some reason, Nginx-based server are slower when importing compared to Apache or Litespeed. If you're using Nginx, it's recommended to install in local wordpress, then upload the wordpress to hosting.
