    Frequently asked

    Questions Ghost publishers usually ask.

    Everything you need to know about using Fantasma to build and export Ghost themes.

    Is Fantasma a theme or a hosted service?

    Fantasma is a visual builder that generates Ghost themes based on Source. You design in the browser, export a ZIP, and upload it to your own Ghost site.

    Do I need to write any code?

    No. Most users never touch Handlebars or CSS. If you do want to customize further, the exported theme is standard Ghost code you can edit in any editor.

    Can I use Fantasma themes for client projects?

    Yes! Themes you export can be used for your own sites and client work. However, you cannot resell or redistribute the themes themselves on marketplaces like ThemeForest or the Ghost Marketplace.

    How many Ghost sites can I use a theme on?

    As many as you want for your own use or client work. There's no limit on deployment — use the same theme across unlimited sites.

    Does it work with Ghost(Pro) and self-hosted Ghost?

    Yes, exported themes work with any Ghost installation version 5.0+, whether you're using Ghost(Pro) or self-hosting.

    Do I own the exported themes?

    Yes, you own the themes you create. The license allows unlimited use for personal and client projects, but not for resale or redistribution as standalone products.

    Can I edit the exported theme code?

    Absolutely. The exported theme is standard Ghost/Handlebars code. You can customize it further in any code editor — it's your code forever.

    What happens if Fantasma goes away?

    You still keep every theme you export. Because Fantasma only uses Ghost's official helpers and structures, your theme keeps working even if you never open the builder again.
