Figma to Code Guide

Why design-to-code is hard

Designs describe how things look. Code describes how things work. The gap between them — states, responsiveness, data, accessibility — is where most handoffs break down.

Step 1: Prepare your Figma file

• Use auto-layout everywhere
• Name layers meaningfully
• Use components and variables for tokens

Step 2: Connect your code components

Map each Figma component to its code counterpart so conversions reuse your library.

Step 3: Import and refine

Import frames with the plugin, check responsiveness in the visual editor, and fix edge cases.

Step 4: Ship through review

Open a pull request and let your normal review process take over.
