How Do I Export HTML Code in Figma?

Last updated on December 1, 2022 @ 1:28 pm

Assuming you have a Figma document with some text layers that you want to export as HTML, there are a few different ways to go about it.

One way is to use the ‘Export’ function in Figma. To do this, select the text layer(s) you want to export, then go to File > Export > Export Selected Slice(s).

In the window that opens, choose ‘HTML’ from the ‘Format’ drop-down menu, then click ‘Export’. Your text will now be exported as HTML code.

PRO TIP: When exporting HTML code from Figma, be sure to select the “Include Styles” option in the Export settings. Otherwise, your code will not include the CSS styles that are applied to the design.

Another way to export text as HTML from Figma is to use the ‘Copy as HTML’ function. To do this, select the text layer(s) you want to copy, then go to Edit > Copy > Copy as HTML. Your text will now be copied as HTML code.

Once you have your text exported or copied as HTML, you can then paste it into an HTML file or editor and style it using various tags. For example, to make text bold, you would wrap it in < b > tags; to make text italicized, you would wrap it in < i > tags; and to underline text, you would wrap it in < u > tags. There are many other tags that can be used to style text in HTML; these are just a few examples.

So, if you want to export or copy your Figma text layers as HTML code, there are a few different ways to go about it. Once you have your code, you can then style it using various HTML tags.
