Modern UI development usually begins with UX/UI designers creating mockups, components, and interactions in a design tool. For most design teams today, Figma is the preferred choice because of its real-time collaboration, variant system, and flexible component architecture.
But once the UI design is approved, designers often hand over static assets like images to embedded engineers. Engineers must then manually rebuild the entire UI inside Flint, recreate states, organize layers, convert images, and prepare reusable widgets from scratch. This process repeats whenever the designer updates the design, leading to duplicated effort, lost time, and inconsistency.
Flint solves this gap with the Figma to Flint Plugin, which brings true design-to-embedded workflow automation. With this plugin, designers can export their Figma components directly into a Flint-ready package containing:
All component states
Layer structures
Image assets
Widget metadata
A complete .fig design file
Engineers can then import this package into Flint, instantly generating Flint widgets that match the original design state-accurate, organized, and ready for interaction and logic integration.
This automated pipeline eliminates repetitive manual work, accelerates UI implementation, and ensures that design updates flow smoothly into Flint throughout the project lifecycle. Once imported, developers can further enhance the generated widgets to add animations, transitions, interactivity, and platform-specific optimizations.
