XD to Figma Converter

About This Tool

Purpose & User Intent: The XD to Figma Converter solves the problem of migrating design files from Adobe XD to Figma by preserving structure, assets, and design tokens during handoff and platform migration. Target users include UX designers, design operations, and product teams performing tool migrations or cross-platform collaboration. Use occurs during design system consolidation or pre-launch handoffs where Figma is the primary workspace.\n\nCore Logic & Features: The tool ingests XD files, maps artboards to Figma frames, translates layers and groups, converts vector paths, and exports to a compatible Figma file. Required features: XD file ingestion, asset extraction, layer and symbol mapping, and a Figma-compatible export. Optional/Advanced: font mapping and substitution, color token export, component library migration, design system alignment, and revision reporting.\n\nInputs & Outputs: Inputs include xd_file (file or URL), target_platform (Figma), export_options (object), include_fonts (boolean). Outputs include figma_file (file), assets (archive), mapping_report (JSON), and a conversion_log.\n\nAlgorithms & Calculations: Describes mapping: font mapping with fallback if missing, vector path reconciliation, coordinate system normalization, component-instance conversion, and layer order preservation. Calculation is deterministic: for each artboard, create a corresponding Figma frame; map components to components; preserve nested groups. No image rasterization beyond export.\n\nError & Edge Cases: Handles missing XD features and unsupported fonts; flags or partial conversions, large files with chunking, and corrupted input; returns a detailed mapping report and warnings; external data unavailability results in partial conversion.\n\nIndustry/Region & Localization: Uses px units, standard color spaces, and common design system tokens; no locale-specific features; supports typical western typography and right-to-left notations only if XD supports them; localizable assets and tokens are exported separately.\n\nAssumptions & Exclusions: Assumes XD file integrity and access. Excludes animation semantics, XD plugins, or proprietary XD features that have no Figma equivalent; excludes 3D transforms and certain interactive states; not responsible for license compliance.
