Can you get code from Figma?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 7:09 pm

Code can be extracted from Figma using a number of different tools. The most common way is to use Git, which can be accessed through the menu item “Git” in the main Figma interface. Once Git is open, select the “Code” tab, and select the “Commit” button next to the file you want to extract code from.

This will open the commit dialog, in which you can select the code you want to extract, and then click the “Copy” button. Once the code has been copied, you can open it in a text editor of your choice.

Another way to extract code from Figma is to use the “Copy As” button on the “Code” tab. This will open the “Copy As” dialog, in which you can select the code you want to copy, and then click the “Copy” button.

PRO TIP: Figma is a vector-based design tool that is primarily used for interface design. While it is possible to get code from Figma, it is not recommended as the code is often messy and difficult to read. Additionally, Figma is not intended for coding, so it is not the best tool for this purpose.

Once the code has been copied, you can open it in a text editor of your choice.

Finally, you can also use the “Export As” button on the “Code” tab to export the code as a JSON file. This will open the “Export As” dialog, in which you can select the code you want to export, and then click the “Export” button.

Once the code has been exported, you can open it in a text editor of your choice.
