Upgrade smarter – the fastest, easiest and most secure way to migrate

icon

Umbraco 17 is here — and as a Long‑Term Support (LTS) release, it offers the stability, security, and performance modern websites need. If your site is running Umbraco 7 to 16, now is the ideal time to plan your upgrade.

Umbraco Migrator helps you get there faster and with far less manual effort. Whether you’re upgrading your own platform or delivering upgrades for clients, our tool automates the most time‑consuming migration steps and guides your site through each version safely and incrementally.

Why upgrade to Umbraco 17?

Long‑term stability

As an LTS release, Umbraco 17 provides ongoing security updates and a reliable foundation for the future.

Faster, more efficient performance

Built on .NET 10, it delivers improved speed, scalability, and modern development standards.

Better content editing experience

A cleaner, more intuitive back office helps teams work more efficiently.

Stronger developer foundations

Improved deployment reliability, automation support, and consistent environments.

Staying on a supported version ensures your site remains secure, compliant, and ready to grow. Delaying an upgrade increases risk, cost, and technical debt.

Do you need to upgrade?

If you’re running Umbraco 13 or earlier, the answer is yes. Support for Umbraco 13 ends in December 2026, with versions 14–16 following similar timelines. After end of life, there are no security patches, no bug fixes, and no official support.

What happens if you don’t upgrade?

  • No security updates

  • Increased compliance and security exposure

  • Higher maintenance and hosting costs

  • Slower development due to workarounds

  • A platform that becomes harder and more expensive to maintain

Will you need to rebuild?

Not always.

  • Umbraco 9+: Typically a straightforward upgrade

  • Umbraco 8 or earlier: Traditionally required a rebuild — but with Umbraco Migrator, the migration becomes significantly more cost‑effective and often removes the need for a rebuild entirely.

“With Umbraco 13, I can easily modify the style of our pages using the various content sections available. This is especially helpful when reordering content, as we can simply move the content sections instead of copying and pasting text within the editor.”

faq intro

No, there is not. Umbraco 7 is built on the .NET Framework, while Umbraco 9+ (including 17) is built on ASP.NET Core. So you will need to rebuild your website, including any templates, custom code and integrations.

Yes. You can host both versions at the same time and rebuild the site incrementally, however, this adds complexity and is best suited for large sites with long migration timelines.

This varies depending on your site complexity, custom functionality and content volume. It can take a number of weeks for a small to medium site.

This is supported until Nov 2028.
