How to import Sketch files into Figma?

Step 1: Open Figma

Alright, first things first, fire up Figma on your computer.

Step 2: Create a New File or Open an Existing One

Next, you can either start fresh by clicking the "+" button to create a new file, or just pick an existing project from your dashboard. Easy peasy.

Step 3: Import Sketch File

Now, drag and drop your Sketch file (.sketch) right into the Figma window. If you prefer menus, go to the "File" menu in the top-left corner, select "Import File," and find your Sketch file.

Step 4: Wait for Conversion

Figma will start converting your file automatically. Depending on how complex your Sketch file is, this could take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. Grab a coffee if you need to!

Step 5: Review Imported Design

Once the import is done, take a good look at your design. Figma usually does a great job, but you might need to tweak a few things here and there.

Step 6: Organize Components and Layers

Check out the layers and components to make sure they’re organized the Figma way. You might need to rename or regroup some stuff.

Step 7: Save and Continue Working

Finally, save your project and keep on designing. Enjoy the real-time collaboration and advanced prototyping features that Figma offers.

This step-by-step guide should help you move your design from Sketch to Figma smoothly, making your workflow more efficient and collaborative.
