Plugin to import HTML into Figma layers

HTML <-> Figma

Figma plugin to convert HTML from a URL to Figma, or convert Figma designs to code via JSX Lite

How does it work

1. Install the plugin
2. In Figma, open a new or existing document, then hit cmd+/ and search "html figma" and hit enter
3. Enter a URL you want to import

Why?

• Easily import real live site styles for a starting point for designs and prototypes
• Quickly turn real site components into design components
• Easy import from storybook, etc

Chrome Extension

Want to capture a page behind an auth wall, or in a specific state you need to navigate to? Then the chrome extension is for you!

Using the library

// npm install @builder.io/html-to-figma
import { htmlToFigma } from "@builder.io/html-to-figma";
const layers = htmlToFigma(document.body);
// E.g. send these to the REST API, or generate a .figma.json file that can be uploaded through the Figma plugin

Limitations

Importing HTML layers to Figma is a best-effort process. Even getting 90% there can save you a ton of time, only having to clean up a few things.

A few known limitations:

• not all element types are supported (e.g. iframe, pseudoelements)
• not all CSS properties are supported or fully supported
• not all types of media are supported (video, animated gifs, etc)
• all fonts have to be uploaded to Figma or a best effort fallback will be used

If you find any issues or have feedback at all please make an issue

TODO

• Support code import from JSX Lite
• Support Figma components
