Visily to Figma —
Beyond the Native Bridge

Move the rendered Visily to Figma result into Figma. Visily offers a native bridge for moving its wireframes and screens to Figma. Use html2design as a comparison path only when a public browser preview or complete exported document is available. 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.

What is "Visily to Figma"?

"Visily to Figma" is a code-to-design workflow for importing the tool's rendered interface into Figma. Visily offers a native bridge for moving its wireframes and screens to Figma. Use html2design as a comparison path only when a public browser preview or complete exported document is available. 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. Visily is primarily a wireframing and UI design environment with a native Figma bridge. Use that bridge for design objects, and use html2design only when a browser-rendered prototype is the evidence under review. Check whether placeholder content, generated imagery, fonts, and screen dimensions survive outside the Visily workspace.

For quick handoff, use Visily's own bridge. For deep refinement — restyling individual layers, swapping copy, aligning to a design system — importing through html2design gives you the granularity to do it.

How Visily import works

Built on a browser-rendered DOM — exactly what the import approach reads.

Source handling for Visily to Figma

Visily offers a native bridge for moving its wireframes and screens to Figma. Use html2design as a comparison path only when a public browser preview or complete exported document is available.

Pixel or Editable output

Pixel mode preserves the browser appearance as lossless raster tiles. Editable mode creates best-effort native layers for supported content.

Supported SVG content

Compatible SVG content can remain editable; complex or externally loaded graphics may be rasterized or require cleanup.

Review remains part of the workflow

Fonts, browser-only media, effects, and responsive behavior can differ in Figma, so compare the result with the source before handoff.

The Visily to Figma workflow

Four steps, followed by review and cleanup.

Step 01

Open the Visily to Figma result

Visily offers a native bridge for moving its wireframes and screens to Figma. Use html2design as a comparison path only when a public browser preview or complete exported document is available. Load the intended interface state and let fonts, images, and application data finish rendering.

Step 02

Choose the complete source

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

Choose Pixel or Editable

In html2design, use Pixel mode for lossless visual reference or Editable mode for supported native Figma nodes.

Step 04

Compare and refine

Compare the import with the browser source, then correct unavailable fonts, media, effects, and layout differences before relying on it.

What you get in Figma

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

Editable text layers

Supported text becomes editable Figma layers; unavailable fonts and metric differences may require cleanup.

Supported colors & styling

Compatible backgrounds, borders, shadows, gradients, and opacity map to Figma properties.

Supported SVG content

Compatible inline SVG content can become editable Figma vectors; complex or external assets may need cleanup.

Best-effort editable structure

Supported elements become native Figma nodes; complex content may be simplified, omitted, or rasterized.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Visily's native Figma export?

Use Visily's native bridge 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.

How do I convert a Visily design to Figma with html2design?

Use public URL capture when the Visily 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.

Does this work for wireframes as well as high-fidelity screens?

Yes. html2design reads whatever is rendered in the browser — wireframe-style or high-fi, both transfer the same way.

Are the imported designs editable in Figma?

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