What Is AI Express Mode?
AI Express Mode converts your Figma design into a finished, editable WordPress page, and does the finishing work for you.
The output is a native, editable Composer, not a locked screenshot, so if you already know Figma and want your design live without hand-building every section, this is for you. Not sure if it's the right fit? See Which Should I Use: AI Express Mode or Classic Mode?.
The Problem It Solves
A finished design still isn't a finished page. Getting your Figma layout into WordPress is the easy part: it lands as a starting point, not a finished page. The styling, hover, motion, responsive states, and global styles are still left to build by hand, section by section. That last stretch is where the hours disappear.
AI Express Mode finishes the conversion, not just the import. It reads your Figma layers like a browser and builds them natively into your builder, with the manual work already done:
- Motion, hover, and mouse-interactive effects applied at conversion, at the level you choose.
- Responsive layout built in, using the same per-breakpoint controls your builder already gives you.
- Colors and typography synced into your builder's globals as reusable classes.
- Header and footer handled during the conversion.
Example: Say you've finished a homepage design in Figma. Normally, getting it into WordPress means manually rebuilding every section in Elementor, spacing, colors, hover effects, responsive behavior, the header and footer, one piece at a time. With AI Express Mode, you select the Figma frame and run the conversion, styling, motion, and responsive layout already applied, so there's no manual rebuilding step. The result is a fully editable draft page, ready to fine-tune instead of build from scratch.
Benefits:
- Faster turnaround
- No manual rebuilding
- Consistent global styles
- Real editable output, not a flat image or locked export
What You Get
Every section lands as a native, editable Composer, never a flat export or a locked image. Conversion is the start, not the finish line: you can refine anything by hand in the Editor, or just describe the change to AI Chat, which can even build sections that were never in your Figma file.
Two Ways to Run It
- From the Figma plugin (recommended). Run the conversion inside the UiChemy Figma plugin using your Credits. This is the simplest path and needs no extra setup.
- From your own AI tools. Already using tools like Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Antigravity? Connect UiChemy MCP and run the same conversion from where you already work.
Good to Know Before You Start
AI Express Mode works best on optimized, auto-layout designs. If your file isn't ready, the plugin will ask you to fix it first. See Design Optimization.
- Because it reads and rebuilds your design, results are close, though not always perfect on complex layouts. That's why everything stays fully editable.
- You do not need Elementor Pro to run the conversion.
- Credit cost scales with page complexity and motion level.
- Full Setup can overwrite existing site styling, review before running it on a live site.
- Some features require specific plugin versions to be active.
- Very large or multi-frame files may need extra fine-tuning after conversion.
Which Builders Does AI Express Mode Support?
Currently, AI Express Mode converts to Elementor, and every section lands as a native, editable Composer. Gutenberg and Bricks are coming soon, with the same idea carried over, one editable unit per builder:
| Builder | Output | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Elementor | Composer | Live |
| Gutenberg | UiChemy Block | Coming soon |
| Bricks | UiChemy Element | Coming soon |
Until Gutenberg and Bricks arrive, you can still convert to them using Classic Mode.
