Recreating app interfaces and web designs from screenshots has always been a pain. Manually building components, guessing layouts, and matching styles pixel by pixel eats up hours.
Instead of starting from scratch, you can now use image.to.design! Our game-changing Figma plugin transforms any screenshot or image into a fully editable Figma design, in a click—complete with autolayout and smart layer naming.
What is image.to.design?
image.to.design is one of the newest addition to the anything.to.design collection of Figma plugins. This powerful tool serves two purposes: it's both an advanced image format importer that supports virtually any image type, AND an AI-powered screenshot converter that transforms visual designs into fully editable Figma layers.
The plugin supports an extensive range of image formats beyond Figma's native capabilities, including AVIF, WebP, JPEG XL, JPEG 2000, TIFF, RAW files, and more. It also optimizes formats already supported by Figma—like improving SVG compatibility and optimizing PNG files to reduce memory usage and boost performance.
But here's where it gets exciting: image.to.design also uses advanced AI to convert screenshots and interface mockups into fully editable Figma designs. If you see an app interface you want to recreate or iterate on, you can now import that screenshot and get an instant, fully editable version in Figma—complete with proper layer structure, autolayout, and properly named layers.
From Screenshot to Figma Quick Guide
Drag n drop style:
- Run the image.to.design plugin in Figma
- Drop your screenshot or image file
- Click Import
- Let our AI analyze and convert the design
- Edit your recreated design directly in Figma!
How to Import a Screenshot into Figma
Use image.to.design to transform any visual design into editable Figma layers in just a few clicks—perfect for rapid prototyping and design iteration.
1. Launch the image.to.design plugin
In a Figma file, click the search icon in your bottom menu and search for image.to.design to launch it.
2. Upload your image or screenshot
Drag-and-drop or browse to select your image file. This can be a screenshot of an app, a web design, a mockup, or any visual interface. Our AI will automatically analyze and understand the design structure.
3. Import your design
When you're ready, select “Editabe layers” and click "Import"
4. Let AI work its magic
Our advanced AI technology analyzes your image, identifying UI components, layout patterns, text elements, and visual hierarchy. It then generates a complete Figma structure with proper autolayout and semantic layer naming.
5. Edit your design in Figma
Modify the structure, adjust layouts, change colors, edit text—all the elements from your screenshot are now fully editable Figma layers with proper structure and naming.
Why Convert Images to Figma Designs?
1. Skip manual reconstruction
Rebuilding interfaces from screenshots by hand is incredibly time-consuming. You're essentially reverse-engineering someone else's work pixel by pixel. image.to.design handles this in seconds, giving you a head start with proper layer structure so you can focus on iteration and improvement.
2. Preserve design intelligence
A well-designed interface has logical structure—components, spacing systems, and layout patterns that aren't immediately obvious from just looking at it. Converting your image with image.to.design ensures that the underlying design structure is captured as organized, semantic Figma layers with autolayout and smart naming.
3. Accelerate design iteration
By instantly converting existing designs into an editable formats, all team members can quickly iterate, experiment, and build upon proven design patterns.
Studies show that designers spend up to 60% of their time on repetitive tasks. Tools that automate the tedious work of recreation allow designers to focus on what matters most—solving user problems and creating exceptional experiences.
Perfect Use Cases
App Interface Recreation: Saw an app with great UX? Upload a screenshot and get an instant, editable version to iterate on.
Client Mockup Conversion: Turn static mockups or references into working Figma prototypes.
Design System Extraction: Import existing interfaces to extract and systematize design components.
