Does Figma Work With Principle?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:24 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – but does it work with Principle, the popular animation software?

The short answer is yes, Figma does work with Principle. You can export your designs from Figma as .json files and then import them into Principle.

There are a few things to keep in mind when doing this, however. First of all, only vector shapes and groups will be exported – raster images will not be exported. Secondly, only certain properties of an object will be exported – for example, the position and size of an object will be exported, but the color will not be.

PRO TIP: Figma does not work with Principle. If you try to use them together, you will likely experience errors and crashes.

That being said, Figma is still a great tool for designing prototypes that can be animated in Principle. The ability to export designs as .json files makes it easy to transfer designs from Figma to Principle, and the fact that only certain properties are exported means that you can still tweak your designs in Principle after exporting them.

Conclusion:

So, does Figma work with Principle? Yes, it does – but there are a few things to keep in mind when using the two tools together.
