Migrate, convert or import Sketch design to Figma

Migrating your web mockups, wireframes, and other Sketch visuals to Figma can be done very easily.

You can first import an entire Sketch file (.sketch) into Figma, which will automatically create a new Figma file with all the graphic elements. This conversion of a Sketch graphic model to Figma is done at 4 levels:

Page conversion
Symbol conversion
Font conversion
Style conversion

Converting Sketch pages

Figma allows you to create multiple pages within a single file. Each of the pages in your Sketch file will be recreated iden tically when imported. You can find your new Figma pages in the Layer panel on the left of the editor mode.

Conversion of symbols to components

Figma has a "Components" feature, similar to the "Symbols" feature in Sketch. When exporting Sketch to Figma, each of your symbols will be transformed into components, and a "Symbols" page will be created to group all the new components in the file.

Font conversion in Figma

Fonts used on your Sketch File will also be carried over to Figma when imported, provided they already exist in Figma. Figma uses fonts from the Google Web Font catalogue.

It is possible that the fonts are not imported correctly, and you will get a "Missing fonts" error message. To solve this problem, you will need to import your new fonts into Figma, then use the "Replace fonts" feature to update all the text at once.
