Can You Embed Figma?

Last updated on December 22, 2022 @ 2:28 am

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration.

Figma is a great tool for designing user interfaces, and it’s even better when you can share your work with others in real time. But what if you want to take your Figma designs and use them on your website or blog? Can you embed Figma?

The answer is yes! You can embed Figma files on your website or blog using the Figma Embed API.

You can also use the API to generate HTML code that you can style with your own CSS. In this article, we’ll show you how to do both.

How to Embed Figma

Embedding Figma is easy – all you need is the URL of the file you want to embed. Just add the following code to your website or blog:

<iframe src="https://www.figma.com/file/FILE_ID/FILE_NAME?embed" 
width="800" height="600" 
allowfullscreen></iframe>

Replace FILE_ID with the id of the file you want to embed, and FILE_NAME with the name of the file.

PRO TIP: Figma is a great tool for designing user interfaces, but you should be careful when embedding Figma files on your website. If you’re not careful, it’s possible for someone to edit your Figma file and ruin your design. Make sure you have a backup of your design before embedding Figma files on your website.

How to Style Figma Embeds with CSS

If you want more control over how your Figma embed looks, you can use the Figma Embed API to generate HTML code that you can style with your own CSS. To do this, add the following parameters to the URL of the file you want to embed:

  • embed_hosted_stylesheets=true: This will generate HTML code that includes link tags for all of the stylesheets in your file.
  • embed_self_hosted_stylesheets=URL: This will generate HTML code that includes link tags for all of the stylesheets in your file, hosted at the URL specified.
