Open BMPR files
Free Basic can open BMPR files in a read-only preview with pages, resources, warnings, and an import report.
BMPR viewer / local wireframe editor
Balsamiq Desktop replacement for modern wireframing
At launch, open BMPR and sketch locally for free. Upgrade only when you need editable migration, clean export, AI, or shareable handoff.
WireMagic is a desktop wireframing app for teams carrying existing Balsamiq work forward. It keeps the low-fidelity feel, adds local files, and gives product teams a clearer path from old BMPR files to new editable projects.

BMPR migration
See the import result before you pay.
The migration decision should be visible. WireMagic separates BMPR preview from editable conversion so you can inspect existing projects first.
Sketch locally
Create, edit, and save native .wiremagic files locally for free, up to 3 pages per project.
Convert when ready
Classic, Plus, and Pro unlock editable BMPR conversion, Alternative Versions, and clean PNG / PDF export.
Add AI drafts
Plus and Pro add AI-assisted first drafts for teams that want faster screen exploration after migration.
Keep local files
Local files are not held hostage. If a subscription ends, existing pages remain editable under Free Basic rules.
Share lightweight previews
Share Preview Links publish a static current-page snapshot for review and handoff without uploading editable project data.
Replacement workflow
A desktop wireframing path for old projects and new screens.
WireMagic is designed for teams that liked the speed of classic low-fidelity wireframes but need a current desktop app, local project files, AI assistance, and a practical handoff path.
- Use Free Basic as a real editor, not only a viewer.
- Preview BMPR migration before choosing a paid plan.
- Buy Classic once for local professional wireframing.
- Add Plus or Pro when AI and larger Share limits matter.
