Visily to Figma — Editable Layers Beyond the Native Export

Visily to Figma —
Beyond the Native Bridge

Visily turned your prompt into a working wireframe. Its canvas renders real HTML & CSS, and the browser resolves it all to computed styles before html2design reads a thing. Copy the rendered HTML, paste into the plugin, and get truly native, editable Figma layers in under two minutes.

What is "Visily to Figma"?

"Visily to Figma" is the workflow of taking AI-generated UI from Visily — wireframes, high-fidelity screens, full user flows — and importing it into Figma as editable design layers. Visily already offers a native Figma export bridge for quick handoff. html2design takes a different path: it reads the rendered DOM and rebuilds every element as a native Figma object, so each layer is fully editable individually.

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.

Why Visily output imports cleanly

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

Visily's preview is real, rendered HTML

By the time you see the wireframe/design preview, the browser has resolved every style to a computed value. html2design reads those values.

Each element becomes its own Figma layer

Every text run, fill, border, shadow, vector icon becomes a separately-editable native Figma object — not a grouped/flattened import.

SVG icons import as vector paths

Inline SVGs import as native Figma vector paths — crisp and editable, never rasterized.

Complements Visily's native bridge

Use Visily's own export for fast handoff; use html2design when you need fully editable layers for refinement and design-system alignment.

The visily to figma workflow

Four steps, under two minutes.

Step 01

Open the Visily preview

In Visily, open the design/preview view in the browser.

Step 02

Copy the rendered HTML

Open DevTools (F12), Elements panel, right-click the root element, choose Copy > Copy outerHTML.

Step 03

Paste into html2design

In Figma, run the HTML to Figma plugin, paste, click Generate. Each element's computed style becomes a native Figma object.

Step 04

Refine in Figma

You now have a pixel-accurate, fully editable frame of the Visily design — every layer addressable individually.

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, 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.

Granular, layer-by-layer editability

Every Visily element addressable as its own Figma layer, not a grouped or flattened import.

Frequently asked questions

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

Visily's own bridge moves the design into Figma quickly, useful for handoff. html2design imports the rendered DOM and creates a separately-editable native Figma layer per element — every text run, fill, and icon addressable on its own. Use the native export for speed; use html2design for granular editability.

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

Open the Visily preview in a browser, open DevTools, right-click the root element, Copy > Copy outerHTML, and paste into the html2design Figma plugin.

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?

Yes — native editable text, vector paths, image fills, measured frames, each addressable individually.
