Visily to Figma — Editable Layers Beyond the Native Export

Visily to Figma —
Beyond the Native Bridge

Start with Visily's own Figma bridge. If you instead have browser-rendered HTML or an accessible public preview, html2design can import it as a Pixel reference or as best-effort editable layers for supported content.

What is "Visily to Figma"?

"Visily to Figma" is the workflow of moving a Visily interface into Figma. Visily offers its own Figma bridge. html2design can instead import supplied rendered HTML as native frames, text, shapes, images, and vectors where the source maps reliably to Figma; complex effects and media may need cleanup.

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.

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.

Supported elements become editable Figma layers

Compatible text, fills, borders, images, and vectors become native nodes; unsupported content may be simplified or omitted.

Supported SVG content can stay vector

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

Complements Visily's native bridge

Use Visily's own bridge first; test html2design when supplied HTML or Pixel-versus-Editable output better fits the workflow.

The Visily to Figma workflow

Four steps, followed by review and cleanup.

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. Supported elements and styles become native Figma objects.

Step 04

Refine in Figma

Compare the best-effort editable result with the browser source, then correct fonts, media, effects, and layout differences.

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?

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?

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