Can I import a single component instead of the whole page?

Yes. In the Elements panel, right-click the specific component's root element rather than the body, and copy its outerHTML. Storybook or a component preview route in your Cursor project works well for isolating one component at a time.

Cursor to Figma — Turn Cursor-Built UI Into Figma Layers

Q: How do I convert UI built with Cursor to Figma?

Cursor is an AI code editor that writes real frontend code into your project. Run the project's dev server (for example npm run dev), open the page in a browser, open DevTools (F12), right-click the root element in the Elements panel, and choose Copy > Copy outerHTML. Paste that HTML into the html2design Figma plugin and click Generate. The browser resolves the code Cursor wrote to computed CSS, which html2design rebuilds as native, editable Figma layers.

Q: Does the framework Cursor used matter?

No. Cursor can write React, Vue, Svelte, plain HTML/CSS, or anything else. html2design reads the rendered DOM and its computed styles, not the source files, so any framework imports the same way once it is running in a browser.

Q: Are the imported designs editable in Figma?

Yes. The import produces native Figma layers — editable text, vector paths for SVG icons, image fills, and measured frames — not a screenshot or flat image.

Cursor to Figma —
AI-Coded UI, Made Editable

Cursor wrote the code; now design on top of it. Cursor builds real frontend code in your editor — run it, and the browser resolves it to computed CSS. Copy the rendered HTML, paste into html2design, and get native, editable Figma layers in under two minutes.

What is "Cursor to Figma"?

"Cursor to Figma" is the workflow of taking UI you built with Cursor — the AI-powered code editor — and importing it into Figma as editable design layers. Cursor writes real frontend code into your project; you run it like any app, and html2design reads the rendered DOM's computed styles. The framework Cursor used is irrelevant — only the rendered output matters.

Unlike hosted AI builders, Cursor produces code in a normal local project, so the path to Figma is the classic developer workflow: run the dev server, copy the rendered HTML, paste into html2design — then refine the result in Figma instead of rebuilding it by hand.

Why Cursor output imports cleanly

Cursor produces a normal local project that renders to a standard browser DOM.

It's a real local project — run it like any app

Cursor edits files in your repo. Start the dev server and open the page; the browser computes every style, which is exactly what html2design reads — no special export.

Framework-agnostic

React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, or plain HTML — html2design reads the rendered output, not the source, so anything Cursor writes imports the same way.

Works on localhost & auth-gated pages

Because you paste HTML rather than a URL, it works on localhost:3000, Storybook, or pages behind login — no public deploy needed.

SVG icons import as vector paths

Inline SVG icons import as native Figma vector paths — crisp and editable at any scale, never rasterized.

The Cursor to Figma workflow

Four steps, under two minutes.

Step 01

Run the project Cursor built

Start the dev server (npm run dev or your project's command) and open the page in a browser. For a single component, use a component route or Storybook (localhost:6006).

Step 02

Copy the rendered HTML

Open DevTools (F12), Elements panel, right-click the root element (or the component's wrapper), choose Copy > Copy outerHTML. Let fonts and images finish loading first.

Step 03

Paste into html2design

In Figma, run the HTML to Figma plugin, paste the HTML, and click Generate. Each element's computed style becomes a native Figma object — text, fills, SVG vector paths, and measured frames.

Step 04

Refine in Figma

You now have a pixel-accurate, editable frame of the UI Cursor coded. Refine it, align it to your design system, and prepare it for review and handoff.

What you get in Figma

Native Figma objects mirroring the rendered output — not a screenshot.

Editable text layers

Copy becomes real Figma text layers with computed font, size, weight, line height, and color.

Exact colors & styling

Backgrounds, borders, shadows, and gradients resolve to precise computed values as Figma fills, strokes, and effects.

SVG icons as vector paths

Inline SVG icons import as editable Figma vector paths, sharp at any scale.

Pixel-accurate frames

Layout, spacing, and sizing recreated as measured Figma frames matching the browser render.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert UI built with Cursor to Figma?

Run the project Cursor built, open the page in a browser, open DevTools, right-click the root element, Copy > Copy outerHTML, and paste into the html2design plugin. The rendered output transfers as pixel-accurate, editable Figma layers.

Does the framework Cursor used matter?

No. html2design reads the rendered DOM and computed styles, not the source, so React, Vue, Svelte, or plain HTML all import the same way.

Can I import a single component?

Yes — right-click the component's root element (or use Storybook) and copy its outerHTML instead of the whole body.

Are the imported designs editable in Figma?

Yes — native editable text, vector paths, image fills, and measured frames. Not a screenshot.
