XD and Figma: an Overview

XD is a user interface design tool that enables users to create digital designs quickly and easily. It is available as a standalone application or as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

Figma is a visual design tool that enables users to create interactive prototypes and user interface designs.

How XD and Figma Work Together

When you want to import an XD design into Figma, you first need to open the XD design in XD. Next, you need to open the Figma file in which you want to import the design.

PRO TIP: There is no direct way to import Adobe XD files into Figma. However, you can export your XD files to PNG or SVG and then import those assets into Figma.

You can do this by clicking on the “File” menu and selecting “Open In…”, or by using the file:/// URL scheme.

Once the files have been opened in their respective applications, you will need to select the “Design” tab in XD and select the “Import” button. This will open the import dialog box.

Next, you will need to select the “XD File” option and select the file from which you want to import the design. You will then need to select the “Figma File” option and select the file from which you want to import the design.

Finally, you will need to select the “Include Symbols” option and include any symbols that were used in the original XD design.

After including the symbols, you will need to select the “Export As…” button and select the “PDF” option. This will save the design as a PDF file.
