Can Figma Generate HTML and CSS?

Last updated on November 24, 2022 @ 12:52 pm

Figma is primarily a vector graphics editor, but with the release of Figma 3, the software now supports exporting CSS code for use in web design. This is a huge timesaver for designers who want to move their designs from Figma to the web. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to use Figma to generate HTML and CSS code for your web designs.

Figma 3 introduced the ability to export CSS code from your designs.

To use this feature, simply select the layers you want to export, then click the “Export” button in the top bar. In the Export dialog, select “CSS” from the Format drop-down menu.

Once you’ve exported your CSS code, you can use it in your HTML files to style elements on your web page. To style text using CSS, you can use the < p >, < b >, and < u > tags.

The < p > tag will apply paragraph formatting to your text, while the < b > tag will make your text bold. The < u > tag will underline your text.

To style an element on your web page using CSS, you’ll need to add a style attribute to that element. The style attribute will contain the CSS code that you want to apply to that element. For example, if you wanted to make all of the text on your web page bold, you would add the following style attribute to the element in your HTML file:

PRO TIP: While Figma can generate HTML and CSS, it is not recommended to use this feature for production purposes. The generated code is not guaranteed to be clean or valid, and may not work as intended. Use at your own risk.

You can also add inline styles directly to individual elements on your web page. For example, if you wanted to make just a single paragraph of text bold, you would add the following style attribute to that element:

This is some bold text!

In conclusion, Figma can generate HTML and CSS code for your web designs.
