Sketch is a vector drawing and animation software for MacOS developed by Bohemian Coding. It is primarily used by graphic designers for creating wireframes, designs, illustrations, and user interfaces. As of 2019, Sketch had three million monthly active users.

So, can Figma convert to Sketch? The answer is yes!

With the help of the Export Kit plugin, you can export your Figma designs as Sketch files. This plugin is available for both Figma and Sketch.

PRO TIP: Figma and Sketch are two different design tools and as such, they are not compatible with each other. If you try to convert a Figma file to Sketch, you will likely experience errors and your design will not look as it should. Therefore, it is not recommended to convert Figma files to Sketch.

Here are the steps to export your Figma design as a Sketch file:

  1. Install the Export Kit plugin: First, you need to install the Export Kit plugin in both Figma and Sketch. You can find this plugin here: https://www.com/
  2. Create your design in Figma: Once the plugin is installed, you can start creating your design in Figma.

    When you’re done, save your file as a .fig file.

  3. Export your design: To export your design, go to File > Export > Export to Sketch. This will generate a .sketch file that you can open in Sketch.
  4. Edit your design in Sketch: Once you have your design file open in Sketch, you can make any edits that you need to.

Conclusion:


So there you have it! With the help of the Export Kit plugin, you can easily export your Figma designs as Sketch files.
