Figma is a powerful design tool that is becoming increasingly popular among designers and developers. One of the many features that makes Figma a
go-to choice is the ability to export CSS from design elements. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process of exporting CSS from Figma
in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Select the Design Element
Open your Figma project and select the design element you want to export CSS from. You can select an individual element or a group of elements.
Step 2: Open the Code Panel
With your design element selected, find and click the Code tab in the right sidebar. The Code panel will display the CSS
properties of the selected element.
Step 3: Copy the CSS Code
In the Code panel, you’ll see the CSS code generated for the selected element. To copy this code, simply click the Copy button
next to the CSS label. The CSS code is now copied to your clipboard and ready to be pasted into your project’s stylesheet.
Here’s an example of CSS code generated by Figma for a simple button:
.button {
background: #4CAF50;
border-radius: 4px;
font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
font-weight: 500;
font-size: 14px;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
padding: 12px 24px;
}
Step 4: Paste the CSS Code into Your Project
Now that you have successfully copied the CSS code from Figma, open your project’s stylesheet and paste the code where you’d like the styles to
be applied.
Keep in mind that the exported CSS may need some adjustments to work perfectly within your project. Be sure to test and tweak the styles as
needed to ensure that they are properly applied.
Conclusion
Exporting CSS from Figma is an efficient way to speed up your design-to-development workflow. By following these simple steps, you can easily
transfer design elements from Figma to your project’s codebase. This not only saves time but also ensures that your designs are accurately
translated into functional UI components.
