Sketch to Figma starts with a clear UI design
Explore a sketch-to-Figma workflow with SketchMason. Resolve your layout on the canvas, export a design brief, and rebuild in Figma.
Try SketchMason freeResolve the screen before the handoff
Draw labelled rectangles for navigation, content and actions. Generate the design beside your sketch, then revise the hierarchy until the screen communicates the idea you want to share.
Bring a reference into Figma
SketchMason exports standalone HTML and written briefs. Use the rendered design as a visual reference and the brief to explain the layout to your designer. Recreate frames and components in Figma as a separate step.
What a useful handoff includes
For a signup screen, identify the heading, input fields, primary action and error state. Agree on those decisions before rebuilding the screen. Include the surrounding screens so your designer understands where the flow starts and ends.
Frequently asked questions
- Does SketchMason export editable Figma files?
- No. Current exports are standalone HTML and written briefs. This workflow requires a manual rebuild in Figma.
- Is this for Sketch app files?
- No. Sketch here means a rough drawing, made on the SketchMason canvas or photographed from paper, not a document from the Sketch design application.
- When should I use this workflow?
- Use it when you want to settle the layout and visual direction before a designer builds Figma components.
