Figma Dev Mode is built into Figma, giving developers access to design specs, CSS values, and component props. While not a full code generator, it's essential for design handoff.
Anima generates production-quality React, Vue, and HTML code from Figma designs. The output is clean and maintainable. Popular for teams wanting to speed up frontend development.
Locofy uses AI to improve code quality and automatically handle responsiveness. The Figma plugin guides you through tagging components for better output.
Builder.io lets you visually edit existing React/Next.js components. Import from Figma, then edit visually while outputting to your actual codebase.
Plasmic is a visual builder that outputs React components and includes a headless CMS. Designers can edit, developers own the code.
TeleportHQ offers a generous free tier for converting designs to code. Supports React, Vue, and plain HTML. Good for simple projects and learning.
Quest focuses on generating clean React components from Figma. The output emphasizes code quality and maintainability over visual accuracy.
We converted real Figma designs with each tool:
No, but it speeds up initial implementation. Developers still need to add logic, optimize, and maintain code.
Tools like Anima and Locofy produce good code, but complex designs always need cleanup and optimization.
Anima and Quest are known for the cleanest React code output.
Most focus on Figma, though some support Sketch or Adobe XD. Figma is the standard.
