Accessing and Installing the Wix Studio Plugin

To begin, you'll need access to both Figma and Wix Studio. Follow these steps to install the plugin and start the design transfer process:

On Figma

Install the Plugin

Open the Figma Community page or your chosen Figma file, then search for "Figma to Wix Studio" under the Plugins panel (Shift + I). Install the plugin and open it.

On Wix Studio

Open Studio Editor Create a new project or open an existing site in the Wix Studio Editor. In the top bar, hover over the Studio logo and click on Tools > Import from Figma.

Paste the URL In the Import from Figma panel on the left sidebar, paste the copied URL from Figma and click Connect. Complete the authorization process to establish the connection.

Exporting Styles from Figma

For best results, always start by exporting styles. This ensures consistency across your website by transferring typography, colors, and design elements exactly as you intended.

• Tip: Match the width of your Figma frame to the Wix Studio canvas for a 1:1 result.

Select Styles to Export Highlight the frames containing typography and colors. In the Figma plugin panel, check that the styles have been correctly identified and click Export Styles.

Import Styles in Wix Studio Once in Wix Studio, go to the Themes panel, where you'll find your imported typography and color settings. Click Apply Styles to Site to implement them across your project.

Exporting Frames from Figma

After exporting styles, you can now export frames.

Select the Frame

Choose the frame you want to export. The plugin will display the frame's size, and depending on its dimensions, it will either be imported as a page, section, container, or stack.

Add to Site In the Import from Figma panel in Wix Studio, select the frame and click Add to Site. Use the dropdown options to add it as a Section, Page, or Container.

Optimize Layout For complex layouts, use auto layout in Figma to stack elements in either vertical or horizontal order. This ensures that elements retain their spacing when imported into Wix Studio, and are identified as a Stack.

Exporting Images and SVGs

Images When a frame containing images is exported from Figma, the images will appear exactly as designed in Wix Studio. They will also be added to your site's Media Manager for future use.

SVGs

SVGs (scalable vector graphics) are automatically detected and imported into Wix Studio if they are under 250KB. Larger SVGs will need to be resized in Figma before exporting.

Fine-Tuning in Wix Studio

Now that your designs are imported, it’s time to fine-tune them:

Responsiveness Adjust your site’s behavior using the Responsive AI tool, or manually configure the responsive layout.

Animations & Effects

Use the built-in animation and effects tools to add movement and interactivity to your site.

Native Solutions Take advantage of Wix’s native solutions for eCommerce, Bookings, Restaurants, and more to bring your site to life.

CMS Integration Connect your site to the Wix CMS to dynamically update content without affecting your design.

Getting the Best Results in Wix Studio

To ensure a smooth design transfer, it's important to understand which elements are supported by the Figma to Wix Studio plugin. The plugin automatically recognizes the following:

• Page

• Section

• Stack

• Container

• Images

• Button

• Text

• GIF

• SVG
