How Do I Get the Code From Figma Design?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 8:59 pm

As a designer, you’re probably using Figma to design your user interface. But how do you get the code from your Figma design?

There are a few different ways to get code from a Figma design. The first way is to use the built-in extraction tool.

To use this tool, simply select the element you want to extract, then click on the “Extract” button in the upper right-hand corner. This will open a dialog box where you can select which CSS properties you want to extract. Once you’ve selected the properties you want, click on the “Extract” button at the bottom of the dialog box.

Another way to get code from a Figma design is to use an online service such as CSS Tricks. To use this service, simply upload your Figma file, then select which CSS properties you want to extract. Once you’ve selected the properties you want, click on the “Generate CSS” button at the bottom of the page.

PRO TIP: When using Figma to design your project, be aware that the code you generate may not be perfect. In some cases, it may be necessary to hand-edit the code to get the desired results.

The last way to get code from a Figma design is to use a plugin such as “Figma to Code”. This plugin will generate HTML and CSS code for your Figma design.

To use this plugin, simply install it in your Figma account, then select the element you want to extract. Once you’ve selected the element, click on the “Generate” button in the upper right-hand corner.

So, how do you get the code from your Figma design?

The answer depends on what you need the code for and how much control you want over the final result. If you need code for a specific element in your design, then using one of the built-in extraction tools is probably your best bet. If you need code for an entire design, then using an online service or plugin is probably your best bet.
