Figma to Elementor: Atomic Elements (v4)
How to convert your Figma design to Elementor's Editor V4 Atomic Elements with UiChemy, and how it differs from classic widget tagging.
Elementor ships two editing systems side by side: the classic v3 widgets (Heading, Button, Icon Box, Form, and the rest of the tagging library), and the newer Editor V4 Atomic Elements (Div Block, Flexbox Container, Heading, Paragraph, Button, Image). UiChemy can convert your Figma design to either one, and you choose with a single click.
Why It Matters
- Future-ready output, build on Elementor's newer atomic editor, with styles held in global classes and variables.
- A richer design system sync, Editor V4 conversions can sync padding, borders, border radius, gaps, and shadows, not just colors and typography.
- No site setup detour, if Editor V4 isn't switched on yet, UiChemy can turn it on for you from inside Figma.
Why the Tagging Library Is Built for v3
Manual tagging works because v3 has a fixed catalog of named widgets to map a Figma layer onto. Atomic Elements don't work that way, v4 gives you a small set of generic, composable primitives that you assemble with classes and variables, closer to writing CSS-first HTML than choosing a widget. The Figma to Elementor tagging library lists the v3 widgets.
How UiChemy Converts to Atomic Elements
Start a Classic Mode conversion
Open the UiChemy plugin in Figma, choose Classic Mode, then pick Step by Step Method or Quick Conversion, the same as any Figma to Elementor conversion.
Pick Editor V4 on Select Page
On Select Page, under Select Widgets to use:, choose Editor V4. It's selected by default, so you only need to change it if you want Elementor Default (v3) instead. Then click Select pages and pick the top-level frame of your layout.
Sync your globals
On the Global Styles step, the screen is called Sync Global Classes & Variables. Along with Global Container Width, Global Colors, and Global Typography, you can sync Global Padding, Global Border, Global Border Radius, Global Gap, and Global Shadow into Elementor's v4 variables and classes. See Global Style Sync.
Export
Export with Copy to Clipboard or Direct Import, same as v3.
Both v3 and v4 read from the same optimized, Auto Layout Figma design. See Design Optimization either way.
Enable Editor V4 in One Click
If you picked Editor V4 but it isn't switched on in your connected WordPress site, UiChemy shows an Elementor Editor V4 not enabled! popup when it connects to your site (for example on the Global Styles step or during Direct Import).
- Click Enable Now to switch on Editor V4 on your site remotely. You'll see Editor V4 has been enabled successfully! and the conversion carries on.
- Click Not Now to skip. The site then shows a message that Atomic Elements aren't activated, with a link to Elementor's Editor V4 settings so you can turn it on yourself and retry.
Want to keep your site on classic widgets? Go back to Select Page and choose Elementor Default instead.
