Figma to Webflow

How to integrate Figma with Webflow

You can integrate Figma with Webflow through the official Figma to Webflow app for seamless synchronization. You can also use native copy-paste for quick transfers or build custom workflows with Webflow's Designer APIs.

Use the Figma to Webflow app

The official Figma to Webflow app provides comprehensive design system synchronization with minimal setup.

Install the Figma plugin and companion Webflow app to unlock three core workflows:

• Sync design systems with automatic conversion of Figma variables to Webflow variables, supporting px, em, and rem units with configurable base font sizes
• Transfer components from Figma frames to Webflow elements while preserving auto-layout as responsive flexbox structures
• Update existing designs with granular change tracking that shows CSS modifications for selective approval

The app processes complex designs up to 30 times faster than manual recreation and maintains design fidelity through intelligent asset conversion.

For teams managing multiple projects, the asynchronous sync model allows designers to push updates from Figma while developers review changes in Webflow independently.

Use direct copy and paste

Webflow's native copy-paste functionality enables rapid design transfers without additional tools:

• Copy Figma layers directly and paste into Webflow's canvas for instant element creation
• Embed Figma prototypes using Code Embed elements to showcase interactive designs within Webflow pages
• Import design tokens manually by documenting Figma's color and typography values, then recreating them as Webflow variables

This method works best for simple transfers or when testing individual components. While it lacks the automation of the app-based workflow, it requires no installation and works immediately across all Webflow plans.

Build with Webflow Designer APIs

Direct Webflow and Figma API integration unlocks advanced customization and automation beyond the standard app capabilities.

This approach enables programmatic control over the synchronization process, custom component mapping, and integration with existing development pipelines.

Webflow’s Designer APIs provide JavaScript access, allowing developers to create sophisticated workflows that extend the platform's native functionality.

Key capabilities include automated design system updates, custom component libraries, and workflow integrations with CI/CD pipelines.

Automate design system updates

Build automated pipelines that sync Figma changes to multiple Webflow projects simultaneously:

1. Set up authentication using OAuth 2.0 with Designer API scopes for components, variables, and styles
2. Create sync scripts using webflow.getDefaultVariableCollection() to access variables and variable.set(value) to update design tokens
3. Implement webhooks to trigger updates when Figma files change, ensuring design consistency across projects

The Designer API reference provides methods for variable management, component registration, and style application that enable complete programmatic control.

Build custom component libraries

Create reusable component systems that map Figma components to Webflow's component architecture:

1. Register components using webflow.registerComponent(name, rootElement) to convert Figma frames into Webflow components
2. Manage variants through the Webflow API to support different component states and responsive behaviors
3. Track usage with getAllComponents() to identify where components are used across your site

The component management endpoints enable version control and systematic updates across component instances.

Integrate with development workflows

Connect Figma-to-Webflow synchronization with your existing development pipeline:

1. Implement CI/CD triggers using Webflow's webhook system to rebuild sites after design updates
2. Create validation scripts that compare Figma designs with Webflow implementations for quality assurance
3. Build custom middleware to transform Figma data into Webflow-compatible structures with business logic

The webhook documentation details event types and payload structures for automation workflows.

What you can build

Integrating Figma to Webflow with Webflow enables powerful design-to-development workflows that transform how teams create digital experiences.

• Enterprise design systems: Synchronize comprehensive component libraries and design tokens across multiple Webflow projects, ensuring brand consistency while enabling teams to build pages 6× faster with pre-validated components
• Agency client workflows: Convert complex Figma prototypes into pixel-perfect Webflow sites in half the traditional time, with automated handoffs that preserve animations, interactions, and responsive behaviors
• SaaS marketing sites: Rapidly iterate landing pages and product demos by syncing Figma variants to Webflow CMS, enabling A/B testing of designs without developer bottlenecks‍
• E-commerce experiences: Transform Figma product layouts into dynamic Webflow stores with synced variables for consistent spacing, typography, and color systems across hundreds of product pages
