Figma integration¶
Overview¶
LVGL Pro's Figma plugin displays the style properties of selected UI elements in Figma.
These properties can be easily copy-pasted as style attributes in the Editor, enabling pixel-perfect design implementation.
The plugin also shows the "Figma node ID" of the selected element, which allows style synchronization. This means that, with a single click in the Editor or with a CLI command, style properties from Figma can be downloaded and updated in the XML files.
Since this is not a magical auto-importer, the developer retains full control over how files, styles, components, etc., are organized. At the same time, the designer is free to work in Figma without constraints. The developer should take responsibility for restructuring the design with a developer mindset to ensure a maintainable, clean, and optimal structure.
The Figma to LVGL Plugin¶
The Figma to LVGL Plugin is available publicly in Figma's plugin store and can be added to both public and private projects, even without a Figma subscription.
To install the Figma to LVGL Plugin, go to the Figma menu -> Plugins -> Manage plugins and find it in the list.

Click "Manage Plugins ..." to find and install Figma to LVGL¶
If you used it earlier, it will appear among the "Recents".
Once it's installed, a small window will appear showing the style properties of the selected element.

Usage in the Editor¶
The style properties listed by the plugin can be copy-pasted into any XML style section. For example:
<component>
<styles>
<style name="style_from_figma"
figma_node_id="1:2" bg_color="0xfb0000"
border_color="0x4e3535"
border_opa="255"
border_width="14"
width="200"
height="177"
radius="13"
/>
</styles>
<view>
<style name="style_from_figma" />
</view>
</component>
Synchronizing Style Properties¶
If you copied the figma_node_id="..."
part from the plugin, the style in the
XML is connected to a specific element in Figma, and the Editor can download the
style properties.
To enable synchronization, add a project_local.xml
file with the following
content:
<project_local>
<figma document="XXXXXX" token="YYYYY"/>
</project_local>
where:
- XXXXXX:
is the string after "design" in the Figma URL. For example, if the Figma URL is
https://www.figma.com/design/P8NM0qOqgWfYpbENhAKqYb
, then XXXXXX would be "P8NM0qOqgWfYpbENhAKqYb".- YYYYY:
is the Personal Access Token that you can generate as described in the Manage Personal Access Tokens article in Figma documentation.
Because project_local.xml
contains a personal token, it should be added to
.gitignore
and stored only locally.
After that, clicking the FigmaSync button (top right-hand corner) will update each
style with a figma_node_id
from the latest Figma design.
Using with the CLI¶
The CLI tool can also synchronize styles from Figma in CI/CD:
lved-cli.js figma-sync path/to/project --start-service
