What this video covers

This video shows how to use the Convertify Figma to Sketch plugin to export Figma designs into editable Sketch files. It walks through installing the plugin, converting pages of different sizes, and opening the resulting .Sketch files in Sketch with layers, text, images, vectors, and zoom position carried over.

Things you'll need

• Figma
• Sketch

Steps

1. Install Convertify from the Figma plugin directory by searching for “Convertify Figma to Sketch” and clicking install.
2. Open a Figma file, right-click, go to Plugins, and launch “Convertify Figma to Sketch.”
3. Check the selected page name and the estimated conversion time, then click “Convert to Sketch.”
4. Wait for the conversion and bundling process to finish, then save the generated Sketch file when prompted.
5. Open the saved .Sketch file in Sketch to confirm the design, layers, and editable text were preserved.
6. If Sketch shows “Missing Fonts,” use the Missing Fonts prompt to replace them and confirm the changes.
7. Use the plugin on larger files as needed; the video shows that conversion time varies with layer count and nested layers.
