Introducing our in depth Design-To-Code Guide

A lot changed for Builder 18 months ago when we released our design-to-code solution to the world. Since then, we've significantly improved the model's accuracy, added support for integrating your custom code components, expanded to include more front-end frameworks, and added a host of additional product and user experience improvements.

During this period, nearly 1 million Figma users installed the plugin, and we collaborated with some of the world's largest companies to automate significant portions of their design-to-code workflow. Through this process, we gained valuable insights and best practices. We’ve compiled these insights into this guide with the aim of providing engineering leaders a practical roadmap to evaluate the impact of AI-powered design-to-code automation on their organizations.

The driver behind this work is what we hear from engineers, designers, and product teams: turning Figma designs into production-ready front-end code is often a tedious process that delays delivery timelines and takes time away from high-impact priorities. Our research shows that many programmers spend several hours each week turning Figma designs into code, which is the initial step in UI implementation.
