Updated July 2025

Looking to convert Figma to React code? Whether you’re building prototypes, MVPs, or full-scale products, Anima offers the fastest way to export developer-grade React code from Figma—no manual work needed.

The easiest way is to paste your Figma url into www.animaapp.com and select React. 

But depending on what you actually want to do, Anima offers several flows.

How to Convert Figma to React Code

These four methods allow you to turn your Figma designs into clean, responsive, and production-ready React components—fast.

  4. Click Open in Playground to launch with live editable code
  5. On-brand vibe coding: iterate on your design with prompts 
  6. Edit JSX, CSS, Tailwind, or Styled Components right in the browser
  7. Export or copy the code to your IDE

Best for: Prototyping, remixing, and collaborating across teams without setup.
