How Do You Convert Figma to Sketch?

Last updated on December 30, 2022 @ 2:51 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration. It’s what you use when you want to design web apps, iOS apps, or Android apps.

But what if you’re working on a project that requires Sketch? Maybe your team is using Sketch, or maybe you just prefer it for certain tasks. Here’s how to convert your Figma design into a Sketch file.

1. Click on the “Resources” button at the top menu and select the “Plugins” tab.

2. Search for the “Convertify” plugin and click on the “Run” button beside it.

3. In the Convertify window, select the “Export Figma to Sketch” option.

NOTE: Convertify offers you various options to choose from if you ever find yourself wanting to export your Figma files into another design tool!

4. Select the elements you want to export by clicking on the toggle switch beside it. Once done, click on the “Convert Pages” button.

5. Once the conversion is completed, click on the “Download .sketch” button.

6. In the pop-up window of your file manager, select a file location of the sketch file and click on “Save.”

 

 

7. Your design is now converted into a SKETCH file!

PRO TIP: Figma and Sketch are two very different design tools and as such, their file formats are not compatible. If you try to convert a Figma file to a Sketch file, you will likely lose data and/or end up with a file that is not usable.

How Do You Convert Figma to Sketch?

In order to convert Figma to Sketch, first, install the Convertify plugin from the Plugin Resources tab. Next, export your Figma file as a Sketch file in the running Convertify plugin. Finally, download the sketch file that you converted and save it in your files!
