Steps to Convert Figma to SwiftUI Using Plugins
There are several Figma plugins that help convert designs into SwiftUI code automatically. Below are the steps using popular plugins:
1️⃣ Using "Figma to Code" Plugin
🚀 Automatically generates SwiftUI code from Figma layers.
✅ Steps
- Open Figma and select the frame or components you want to convert.
- Go to Plugins → Search for "Figma to Code" and install it.
- Run the plugin and choose the SwiftUI option.
- The plugin will generate SwiftUI code for the selected elements.
- Copy the SwiftUI code and paste it into your Xcode project.
- Modify or refine the code as needed.
2️⃣ Using "Figma SwiftUI Exporter" Plugin
📲 Converts Figma components into SwiftUI code with better structure.
✅ Steps

- Go to Plugins → Search for "SwiftUI Exporter" and install it.
- Run the plugin and configure export options:
- Set component names
- Adjust paddings, colors, and font styles
- Click Export, and it will generate SwiftUI code.
- Copy the code into your Xcode project.
- Fine-tune the SwiftUI views for responsiveness.
3️⃣ Using "Locofy" for Figma to SwiftUI Conversion
🛠 Locofy is another plugin that converts Figma into SwiftUI components.
✅ Steps
- Install Locofy from Figma Plugins.
- Open your design and run Locofy.
- Select SwiftUI as output format.
- Click Generate Code and review the SwiftUI layout.
- Copy and integrate the generated code into your SwiftUI project.
🛠 Tips for Better Conversion
- Check Layers & Groups: Name them properly in Figma before exporting.
- Use Auto Layout: Helps plugins generate better SwiftUI VStack/HStack.
- Refactor Code: After export, improve layout using
.frame()
,.padding()
,.cornerRadius()
.
