We are using confluence data center and want to use the templates that are available in the cloud version. Unfortunately, I cannot find anywhere to export these templates to use them for our non cloud version.

I have seen a similar question on this and they were suggesting I should create a page with the template on a free cloud account, use view source, copy and paste.

Doing this on most complex templates I only get the text, the formatting/images/macros etc are not carried over, which is pointless as I have to create everything from scratch anyways.

Is there a more streamlined way to do this?

@Kothar Welcome to the Atlassian community

Data center and cloud are different products and there is no way to export the template from cloud to data center.  Technically you would have to recreate the template in data center.  

You could technically migrate your cloud instance to data center and then you would get the pages created from a template and you could then use that as a framework to create the template.  In the end you are still creating the template in data center.

Also, a template on Cloud might contain macros that are not supported or have different parameters on Data Center. This may be why some things don't carry over.
