## Description

This tool helps you migrate custom fields from Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to Meta
Box.

**Meta Box is a powerful, professional, and lightweight toolkit for developers to
create custom meta boxes and custom fields for any custom post type in WordPress.**

> **Meta Box Lite**
>  We recommend using [Meta Box Lite](https://metabox.io/lite/),
> a feature-rich free UI version of Meta Box that provides UI and all free features
> for managing custom fields and dynamic content on WordPress, including post types,
> taxonomies, custom fields, and relationships.

Switching from ACF to Meta Box gives you lots of benefits:

 * A wide-range of field types and options. Meta Box supports [40+ built-in WordPress custom field types](https://docs.metabox.io/field-settings/)
   for all your needs. You can also [effortlessly create your own field type](https://docs.metabox.io/custom-field-type/).
 * Meta Box supports cloning fields for most field types including the WYSIWYG editor
   field. It also supports [repeatable field groups](https://metabox.io/plugins/meta-box-group/).
 * Meta Box has an ultra-lightweight, yet powerful API that won’t overload your 
   site.
 * Meta Box uses the [native WordPress meta data storage](https://docs.metabox.io/database/)
   and functions for ease of use and lightning-fast processing.
 * Meta Box has a ton of [free and premium extensions](https://metabox.io/plugins/)
   available to further extend the already powerful core Meta Box plugin so you 
   can supercharge your custom fields in WordPress.

See more details at the [comparison page between ACF and Meta Box](https://metabox.io/meta-box-vs-acf/).
