Can You Make an App From Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:39 pm

As the world increasingly moves online, more and more businesses are looking to have a presence in the digital space. One way to do this is through a mobile app.

But what if you don’t have any coding experience? Is it still possible to create an app?

The short answer is yes, you can make an app from Figma. Figma is a design tool that helps you create user interfaces for websites and apps.

It’s similar to Photoshop, but with a focus on design for the web. Figma is also vector-based, so it’s easy to resize and scale your designs without losing quality.

To create an app in Figma, you’ll first need to sign up for an account. Once you’re logged in, you can create a new file by clicking on the “Create New File” button in the top-left corner. From there, you’ll be able to choose a template for your app or start from scratch.

PRO TIP: Figma is a great tool for designing apps, but you can’t make an app directly from Figma. You’ll need to export your designs as image files or code and then use another tool to build your app.

If you choose to start from scratch, you’ll be able to select the device type (iPhone, iPad, Android phone, etc.) and canvas size (full screen or not).

Once you’ve done that, you can start designing your app. Figma has a number of built-in tools that will help you with this, including a vector tool for drawing shapes and lines, a text tool for adding text, and a color picker for choosing colors.

Once you’re happy with your design, you can export it as an image or PDF. Or, if you want to take things further, you can use Figma’s Developer Handoff feature to generate code that can be used to build your app.

So there you have it – yes, it is possible to make an app from Figma without any coding experience. With its vector-based design tools and Developer Handoff feature, Figma is a great option for those looking to create a mobile app.
