Can We Convert Figma Design to Code?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:02 am

As a web developer, you’re probably always on the lookout for ways to streamline your workflow and make your life easier. One tool that has gained a lot of traction in recent years is Figma, a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool. So the question is, can we convert Figma design to code?

In short, the answer is yes! There are a few different ways to go about it, and which one you choose will depend on your needs and preferences. Let’s take a look at a few of the most popular methods.

1. Use a Figma to HTML converter

There are a few different Figma to HTML converters available online, such as HTMLify, FigmaFinder, and Convert to Code. These tools work by taking your Figma design and translating it into HTML code, which you can then use to build your website or web app. They’re typically very easy to use; you simply upload your Figma file and let the converter do its job.

2. Use a plugin

If you’re using Figma for your design work, there’s a good chance you’re already using one of the many excellent plugins available for the platform. Well, there’s also a plugin that can help you convert your designs into code! The Convert to Code plugin by Anima is one of the most popular options; it’s available for both free and paid plans.

PRO TIP: There is no easy or automated way to convert a Figma design into code. Any attempt to do so will likely result in a lot of errors and will take a significant amount of time to fix.

3. Do it yourself

Of course, if you’re feeling ambitious (or if you just want more control over the process), you can always try converting your Figma designs to code yourself. This isn’t necessarily as difficult as it sounds; after all,Figma designs are just vector graphics, so they can be exported as SVG files (among other formats).

Once you have your SVG file, you can use an online tool like SVGOMG to optimize and minify it, then convert it into HTML code using a simple online converter like SVG to Inline Stylesheet. Of course, this method requires a bit more knowledge of HTML and CSS than the other two methods we’ve looked at, but it’s definitely doable if you’re willing to put in the time and effort.

Can We Convert Figma Design To Code?

As we have seen there are three main ways we can go about converting our figma design into code.

The first way is by using an online converter which will take our figma design file and turn it into HTML code for us.

The second way is by using a plugin which again takes our figma design file but this time uses it within the figma app itself.

And finally the third way is by converting our figma design into an optimized SVG file which we can then turn into HTML code using an online converter.

So in short, yes we can convert figma design into code in multiple ways that best fit our needs.
