Move the rendered Magic Patterns to Figma result into Figma. Magic Patterns provides its own Figma integration, which should be the first choice for a native handoff. html2design is an alternate capture path when a public preview or complete HTML/CSS export better fits the review. Use an accessible public preview URL, or supply a complete HTML document with its required CSS and assets. Choose Pixel for visual fidelity or Editable for supported native layers.
"Magic Patterns to Figma" is a code-to-design workflow for importing the tool's rendered interface into Figma. Magic Patterns provides its own Figma integration, which should be the first choice for a native handoff. html2design is an alternate capture path when a public preview or complete HTML/CSS export better fits the review. html2design can capture an accessible public preview or process a complete HTML/CSS document. Editable mode maps supported text, images, fills, borders, effects, vectors, and measured geometry to native Figma nodes. Magic Patterns already offers a direct design handoff, so compare that native result first. Use html2design when the browser preview is the review authority, when Pixel evidence is required, or when a separate editable translation helps expose implementation differences. Keep the pattern variant, theme, and viewport alongside the captured frame.
If you want to refine the AI draft inside Figma — restyle individual layers, swap copy, align it to a design system, build on top of it — importing the rendered preview through html2design gives you the granularity to do it.
Built on a browser-rendered DOM — exactly what the import approach reads.

Pixel mode preserves the browser appearance as lossless raster tiles. Editable mode creates best-effort native layers for supported content.
Compatible SVG content can remain editable; complex or externally loaded graphics may be rasterized or require cleanup.
Fonts, browser-only media, effects, and responsive behavior can differ in Figma, so compare the result with the source before handoff.
Four steps, followed by review and cleanup.
Step 01
Magic Patterns provides its own Figma integration, which should be the first choice for a native handoff. html2design is an alternate capture path when a public preview or complete HTML/CSS export better fits the review. Load the intended interface state and let fonts, images, and application data finish rendering.
Step 02
Paste a remotely accessible preview URL. For local or private work, export a complete HTML document with its generated CSS and reachable assets; isolated outerHTML is not a self-contained visual export.
Step 03
In html2design, use Pixel mode for lossless visual reference or Editable mode for supported native Figma nodes.
Step 04
Compare the import with the browser source, then correct unavailable fonts, media, effects, and layout differences before relying on it.
Native Figma objects mirroring the rendered output — not a screenshot.
Supported text becomes editable Figma layers; unavailable fonts and metric differences may require cleanup.
Compatible backgrounds, borders, shadows, gradients, and opacity map to Figma properties.
Compatible inline SVG content can become editable Figma vectors; complex or external assets may need cleanup.
Supported elements become native Figma nodes; complex content may be simplified, omitted, or rasterized.
Use Magic Patterns' own integration first. html2design is an alternative when you can supply rendered HTML or a public preview and want Pixel output or best-effort editable nodes for supported content.
Use public URL capture when the Magic Patterns to Figma preview is remotely accessible. For local or private sources, export a complete HTML document with its required CSS and reachable assets, then use manual input. An element's outerHTML alone preserves markup and inline style attributes, not external or computed CSS.

Editable mode creates native Figma nodes for supported content. Fonts, media, effects, and layout can still require cleanup.
