How to convert Figma to Flutter (step-by-step)

A short, practical guide to turning a Figma design into runnable Flutter code — with real reflowing layout, a live preview, and no manual redraw. Total time: about a minute per screen.

What you need

• A Figma file with the screen(s) you want to build.
• The free Desynq Figma plugin.
• Flutter installed locally (only when you want to run the downloaded project).

The four steps

1. Install the Desynq plugin in Figma. Open the get-plugin page and add it. It runs inside Figma, so you never leave your design.
2. Select a frame and export. Choose the screen frame, run Desynq, and it reads the layout, styles, text and images and sends them to the engine. Export several frames at once for a whole flow.
3. Review the generated Flutter code + live render. Desynq opens the screen on the web with a live preview and the per-screen .dart. Check that the layout reflows and the code reads cleanly — named color/text tokens, reusable widgets, real Row/Column/ListView.
4. Download and run. Click download for a runnable Flutter project, then:

   flutter create .   # adds android/ios/web for your Flutter version
   flutter run        # launch on a device, simulator or Chrome

   flutter create . only adds the native folders and keeps your lib/, assets/ and pubspec.yaml untouched.

Tips for the cleanest output

• Use Auto Layout in Figma where you can — it maps most directly to Flutter Row/Column.
• Name your layers meaningfully; clearer names produce clearer widget names.
• Group repeated items (list rows, cards) consistently so they become a single reusable widget.
• Flatten decorative effects that don't need to be live — they export as images at 1×/2×/3×.

What you get

A runnable Flutter project: lib/ screens, an assets/ folder with bundled image densities, a ready pubspec.yaml, and a main.dart menu linking every screen. Fonts load at runtime via google_fonts. The code is a clean starting point — review and wire up your logic before shipping.
