To export a Figma project into Adobe XD, the most common and effective method involves using a third-party plugin designed for this specific conversion.
Using a Conversion Plugin (like Convertify)
Direct, native export from Figma to Adobe XD is not typically available. Plugins bridge this gap by automating the conversion process, translating layers, assets, and potentially interactive elements between the two platforms.
Step-by-Step Guide for Exporting a Single Page
Using a plugin like Convertify is a popular approach. Here's a general process, incorporating details on selecting specific pages:
- Install a Plugin: Search for and install a suitable conversion plugin from the Figma Community (e.g., Convertify).
- Open Your Figma File: Open the specific Figma file you wish to convert.
- Run the Plugin: Right-click on the canvas, navigate to
Plugins, and select the installed conversion plugin from your list. - Select Export Option: Once the Convertify plugin is running, ensure the Export Figma to Adobe XD option is selected.
- Choose Your Page: You can select the Figma page you would like to convert to Adobe XD. The plugin will automatically export the Figma page that you're currently viewing. This means you should navigate to the specific page you want converted before initiating the export process within the plugin.
- Follow Plugin Prompts: The plugin will guide you through saving the converted file to your computer, often in a format compatible with Adobe XD (.xd file).
- Open in Adobe XD: Launch Adobe XD and open the file you just exported.
Important Considerations
- Accuracy: While plugins are helpful, conversions are not always perfect. You may need to make manual adjustments in Adobe XD to ensure fidelity to the original Figma design.
- Compatibility: The success of the conversion can depend on the complexity of your Figma file and the specific features used.
- Layer Structure: Check your layer structure and naming conventions after export, as these might change.
Using a dedicated plugin is the primary way to move your design work from Figma to Adobe XD, allowing you to select specific pages for conversion efficiently.
