How to convert Components from XD to Figma

Converting complex design files between XD and Figma can take days to accomplish.

If the file includes reusable Component Libraries and a Design System, then those days will quickly stretch into weeks or even months.

Our Adobe XD to Figma converter saves you time and converts even:

• Components

• Component Instances

• Component Variants

• Component Layout Properties

Magicul automates the soulless task of rebuilding your design in incompatible tools and simplifies conversions down to only a few clicks.

Here you see the before and after gifs of a file converted from XD to Figma. The file converted with all Components 🎉 and all of it's instances.

Now let's take a closer look at the Components converted to Figma

Did you notice this?

The conversion is fine. What we're seeing here is a difference in how Figma and XD treat certain properties.

In this case, the clip content property is true by default in XD.

If you run into any issues without an easy fix, feel free to message us in the support chat for prompt and 24/7 assistance. Or you can consult the help articles to troubleshoot for easy fixes like you see above.

Magicul supports frame and Component layout and resizing policies. This means that Component layout rules and tethers that we set up in XD will persist in Figma.

Components must retain a high degree of editability so future designers can continue to iterate or take the design in a completely different direction.

Magicul understands complex Component hierarchy.

When your Design System is as much a feat of engineering as it is a collection of UI elements, you can’t leave all that effort and business value behind in different tooling.

You can't copy it across as an SVG either.

Magicul is the only converter capable of moving Components between XD and Figma, and by process of elimination, Magicul is also the only converter that can understand Component hierarchy- Components inside of Components - and knows how to move these relationships between tools.

Step 1: Save the XD as a local document

1: Auto Aware Layouts to Auto Layouts

Figma’s auto layouts are different from XD’s auto aware layout, and we don't support a conversion between them (yet).

2: Transitions and Prototyping

Magicul uses Figma’s API to build exact copies of your XD files in Figma. There are limitations to what Figma will let people do with its API. Because of these limitations, we don't support Protoyping and Transitions from XD to Figma as of right now.

What next?

You need to try it out for yourself.

Magicul offers a free trial so you can convert your own file and stress test the conversion.
