How to Export Figma Design to Elementor Using UiChemy?

Converting a Figma design into an editable Elementor page or template can be time-consuming, UiChemy simplifies the process, saving you time and boosting your workflow.

Choose Your Workflow

1. In Figma, go to Resources → Plugins, search for UiChemy, and click on it. This opens the UiChemy plugin interface, log in to your account.
2. Select the frame or page you want to export.
3. Choose how you want to work:

• Step by Step Method (recommended for new users), walks you through tagging and every stage, from prep to publish.
• Quick Conversion (for experienced users), skips ahead for people who already know the tagging flow, converting in fewer steps.
• Templates, browse pre-optimized sections if you're still designing or want a head start.

The rest of this guide walks through Step by Step Method.

Step 1: Select Page

Click any frame or page in Figma, it's picked up and used in your import flow. Under Select Widgets to use, choose:

• Elementor Default, UiChemy's standard Elementor widgets.
• Editor V4 (Alpha), Elementor's newer Atomic Elements editor. See Global Style Sync for how this affects global styles.

Click Select more to add additional frames, then Next.

Step 2: Lock Media

UiChemy lists any multi-layer media (like icon groups) that could be combined for better performance. Click Rescan to refresh the list, or Lock All to lock everything at once, then Next.

Step 3: Widget Tagging Mode

Choose how much control you want over widget tagging:

• Auto Widget Selection, UiChemy automatically uses core widgets (Container, Heading, Text, Image) for your entire design.
• Manual Widget Tagging, tag specific widgets yourself (Button, Carousel, Gallery, and more) in addition to the core 4.

See How Tagging Works for the full manual tagging walkthrough.

Step 4: Manage Auto Layout

Tell UiChemy whether your design is ready for widget tagging:

• It's already in Auto Layout, your design doesn't need further optimization.
• Convert to Auto Layout, UiChemy applies Auto Layout automatically, creating a duplicate of your selection first.

See Non-Auto Layout Export for more on this step.

Step 5: Optimize Your Design

If your design was built with an external tool, select it from Select your design source: Built from Scratch, Relume, Google Stitch, Other, or Figma Make (Coming Soon), so UiChemy can optimize accordingly. Skip this step if your design is already well optimized.

Step 6: Responsive

Choose how your design adapts for mobile and tablet:

• Smart Auto Responsive (recommended), UiChemy applies font sizes, spacing, and layout values automatically based on proven design practices.
• Manual Responsive Setup, define your own font sizes, spacing, and breakpoints.

See Responsive Layout for the full breakdown.

Step 7: Global Styles

If you're using a design system, this step syncs your Figma styles with Elementor's global classes and variables, colors, typography, container width, padding, border, border radius, gap, and shadow. See Global Style Sync for the full walkthrough.

Step 8: Settings

Set your Conversion Settings before exporting, image handling, text tagging, RTL support, and more. See Conversion Settings Overview for every option.

Export Your Design

Click Convert, then choose your export method:

• Copy to Clipboard, simply copy and paste the design into Elementor.
• Direct Import, export the design directly to your WordPress site.

Click Import to continue. See First Conversion for the full Copy to Clipboard and Direct Import steps, including what happens if you run out of Credits.

Important Considerations for Export

• If you have a complete page layout, use the Direct Import method.
• If you're exporting smaller sections, or just one section of the entire design, use Copy to Clipboard.
• If you're exporting multiple pages, only Direct Import is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my Figma design isn't exporting correctly?

Make sure you're using the appropriate workflow, Step by Step Method for more control, or Quick Conversion if your design is already optimized and tagged. Locking media in Step 2 can also improve conversion quality.
