Figma is a great tool thats fast becoming a favorite among UX/UI and web designers.
you might create responsive web designs quickly and easily using this free internet tool-based tool.
Here’s how to do it.
Doing this via the Figma plugin saves time, allowing you to focus on fine-tuning your design.
Practicing web design by recreating existing web pages is a great way to learn from the masters.
Now that you know why this tool can be handy, its time to learn how it works.

you could add your converted website design to a mockup later if you’d like to.
To download the plugin, select theFigma menu(Figma logo) >Plugins>Find more plugins.
Alternatively, it’s possible for you to selectResources>Plugins.
From either option, jot down in the search barhtml.to.design.
Find the option provided by divRIOTS and selectRun.
This opens the plugin as a dialog box on your Figma canvas.
you could complete your design process entirely with the free version.
Find the website you want to make a Figma design of.
You should use a public websitenot a web page that can only be accessed by logging in.
Were going to use our homepage, MakeUseOf.com.
Copy the full URL and paste it into the import box on Figma, replacing the Apple website placeholder.
There are also custom options for devices or sizes that arent available as default options.
Were choosingMacBook Pro 14with aLighttheme.
Once youve specified your unit and view prefs, selectImportto bring your HTML design to life in Figma.
Wait until the load bar is complete for the Figma design to populate.
This will be due to copyright for licensed typefaces.
Figma will replace them with typefaces you have access to.
On the left menu, youll find the layers.
Select a section in the design to find the highlighted layers on the left menu.
The html.to.figma plugin does not replicate animation or transition parameters when clicking links or changing pages.
you could add those on your own.
However, instead of pasting the URL, you must instead use a Chrome extension that generates a file.
To begin, open Figma and the html.to.figma plugin in the same way as before.
From the Figma plugin dialog box, selectChrome extensionoropen the extension hereon your Chrome surfing app.
SelectAdd to Chrome>Add Extensionto add the extension to your web client.
Collapsed extensions are found under the puzzle piece icon in your internet tool.
It will ask if you want to capture the entire page or just whats in view.
Make your selection and then the capture will appear in your downloads as an .h2d file.
The file will load and generate in the same way as the public website option.
you might populate the page in Figma and start again without having to actually start again.
