The template is copied into your own workspace where you can rename it, change the content, update the design, or modify how it works.

Publishing and selling templates

You don’t need to create something complex to share as a template. Simple apps, reusable layouts, or creative tools can all be helpful to others. If you have made something useful or fun, no matter the size, you can add it to the app templates page. You can choose to offer your template for free or set a price for others to use it.

Improving your listing

If you want your template to stand out, start by focusing on solving a clear problem for others and choosing a catchy title. Add a helpful image and description that show your app in action and make its purpose easy to understand. The most successful templates have clear and friendly language, and include strong visuals that highlight your app’s value.

Tips for improving your listing

Images:
  • Show your app in action with real-looking data
  • Use clean, full-screen views
  • Avoid blurry or empty screens
  • Use horizontal images: 1200x675 pixels (16:9)
Description:
  • Say clearly what your app is for and who it helps
  • Use short, friendly sentences
  • Avoid overly technical or complex language
Tags and categories
  • Pick tags that describe what your app does (like “productivity” or “social”)
  • Avoid adding too many tags

The approval process

After you submit your listing, the Base44 team reviews it to make sure it meets community guidelines. Listings that don’t follow these guidelines may be rejected. If your app is approved, it appears in App Templates for others to discover and use. Base44 may decline or remove a listing if:
  • It’s spam or broken.
  • It is set to private.
  • It includes content that breaks community rules.
  • The listing form was incomplete or incorrectly filled out (e.g., missing screenshots or irrelevant tags).
Final approval depends on Base44’s internal guidelines, and the team may remove listings that don’t meet broader community quality standards, even if they are not specifically listed above.

Managing your listings

From your app’s dashboard you can manage your template listing. To manage a template listing:
  1. Go to your app’s editor.
  2. Click Dashboard.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Click Templates Marketplace.
  5. Do one of the folllowing:
    • Edit your listing: Click Edit Listing and make the changes.
