If you’re a web designer, you probably already know about Figma. It’s a great tool for creating high-fidelity prototypes and mockups.
But what if you want to take your design from Figma and turn it into an actual website? In this article, we’ll show you how to do just that.
First, let’s talk about why you might want to use Figma in the first place. One of the biggest advantages of Figma is that it’s a vector-based program.
This means that your designs can be scaled up or down without losing any quality. That’s perfect for when you’re designing for different screen sizes or devices.
Another reason to use Figma is that it’s easy to collaborate with others. If you’re working on a design with a team, everyone can work on the same file at the same time. This makes the design process much more efficient.
Now that we’ve talked about some of the advantages of Figma, let’s get into how you can convert your designs into HTML code.
There are a few different ways to do this, but we’re going to focus on two of the most popular methods: using an online converter, or exporting your design as an image and then converting it into code manually.
Method 1: Use an Online Converter
There are a few different online converters that you can use to convert your Figma design into HTML code. We like HTMLify, but there are other options out there as well.
To use HTMLify, simply upload your Figma file (you can do this by clicking on the “Choose file” button). Then, select which artboards you want to convert and click on the “Generate HTML” button.
Once the conversion is complete, you’ll be able to download a ZIP file containing all of the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that make up your website. You can then upload these files to your server and voila! Your website is now live.
Method 2: Export as an Image and Convert Manually
If you prefer more control over the code that’s generated, or if you want to learn more about how HTML and CSS work, you can export your Figma design as an image and then convert it into code manually.
To do this, simply go to File > Export > Export As.. in Figma. Select “PNG” as the file type and choose where you want to save the image. Once the image is exported, open it up in your favorite image editor (we like Photopea) and start creating your HTML code.
