In the realm of digital design, Figma and Adobe XD are both robust tools that provide a plethora of features for designers to craft dynamic and innovative designs. Occasionally, designers may need to switch between these platforms for different purposes. This post will provide instructions on how to transfer a Figma file into Adobe XD.
What You’ll Need
- A Figma account and a design file
- An Adobe XD account
- A third-party conversion tool, like FigmaToXd
Note: Adobe XD doesn’t have a built-in feature to import Figma files directly, hence the need for a third-party tool.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Export Figma File
In Figma, open the file you want to export to Adobe XD. Navigate to the top menu and click on File > Save As .fig. Choose the location and save the file.
Step 2: Convert Figma File to Adobe XD
Open your web browser and go to www.figmaToXd.com, a tool that lets you convert Figma files to Adobe XD format. Click the Upload button and select your .fig file. After the file is uploaded, click on Convert.
Once the conversion is done, click on the Download button to download the converted Adobe XD file.
Step 3: Open the Converted File in Adobe XD
Open Adobe XD, navigate to the top menu, and click on File > Open. Browse to the location of the downloaded XD file, select it, and click Open.
And voila! You now have your Figma design in Adobe XD.
Conclusion
While moving designs between Figma and Adobe XD can seem daunting, it’s actually quite simple with the use of a third-party tool. Remember, the conversion may not be perfect, so you might need to check and adjust some elements in your design after importing to Adobe XD. Happy designing!
