How Do I Export My Figma Design?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:21 am

Designers often ask how to export their Figma designs into HTML. The short answer is: you can’t.

Figma is a vector-based design tool, not a code editor. You can’t export your designs directly into HTML code.

However, there are some workarounds that can help you get your Figma designs into HTML. One approach is to use a service like Avocode, which allows you to export your design assets from Figma as code. Another approach is to use a Figma plugin like ‘Figma to HTML’ which generates HTML code from your Figma designs.

PRO TIP: When exporting your Figma design, be sure to use the correct file format for the intended purpose. For example, use .png for images and .pdf for documents. Exporting your design in the wrong file format can result in lost data or formatting issues.

Once you have your design assets in HTML, you can then use a code editor like Dreamweaver or Sublime Text to style the code and add interactivity. This approach takes a bit more work, but it’s the only way to truly get your Figma designs into HTML.
