I’ve been working on some web designs in Figma and now I need to turn them into actual HTML and CSS code that I can use in my coding projects.
I found a YouTube tutorial that was supposed to show how to do this conversion, but when I tried following the steps it didn’t work out like expected. Maybe the tutorial was outdated or I missed something.
What I’m looking for is a reliable way to export or convert my Figma mockups into clean HTML markup and CSS styling. I want to be able to take these files and work with them in my code editor for further development.
Has anyone found a good method or tool that actually works for getting usable code from Figma designs? Any recommendations would be helpful.
Been there way too many times. Figma to HTML converters are trash - they create messier code than just starting from scratch.
I automate the design handoff instead. Set up workflows that pull design tokens straight from Figma (colors, spacing, fonts) and auto-generate CSS variables plus component scaffolding.
Don’t convert the visual design to code. Extract the design system data and build components from that. Much cleaner.
I use Latenode to hook Figma’s API into my dev workflow. It grabs design specs, processes them, and spits out initial HTML/CSS files. Then I just add the logic and interactions.
Saves hours vs manually inspecting elements or fighting with broken conversion tools. Keeps code consistent across projects too.
yeah dude, i feel ya! those plugins can be a pain. honestly, just rebuild it from scratch using the inspect panel for colors and spacing. it might take a bit, but you’ll end up with way cleaner code. keep pushing through!
I’ve dealt with this headache for years and found a hybrid approach that actually works. Don’t expect any automated Figma-to-code tool to work properly - treat Figma as a reference doc instead. I grab exact measurements, fonts, and colors from Figma’s developer panel first. That gives me solid foundation data without dealing with broken export tools. Then I hand-code the HTML based on what I see in the visual hierarchy. For CSS, I recreate layouts with Grid and Flexbox rather than trying to match every pixel from the start. I always build responsive breakpoints right away, even when Figma only shows desktop. This saves me from major restructuring later when mobile inevitably comes up. Most important part: I test in the browser constantly instead of trying to get perfect visual matches before testing. Catches layout problems early and usually gives me cleaner, more maintainable code than any automated tool.
