Convert designs
Figma to Qt converts Figma layers into QML types. To avoid conversion errors, follow the guidelines in the Reference Project.
To convert designs into QML code:
- In Figma, select a layer.
- In the plugin, select
(Preview).
Check the converted design in the live preview.

If a Figma layer has properties that have no equivalent in QML, it is converted into an asset and an Image QML type is created for it. Figma to Qt warns about these issues and offers fixes for some of them.
Convert into Qt for MCUs
With Qt for MCUs, you can develop for microcontrollers (MCU). To avoid conversion errors, follow the guidelines for MCUs in the Reference Project.
To convert a layer using only those properties of QML components that you can use on MCUs, select 
(Settings) in the plugin and turn on Use Qt for MCUs compatible types. The generated QML follows the best practices for Qt for MCUs.
The Code generation section in the plugin settings.
If a Figma layer has properties that you cannot use in Qt for MCUs, the plugin warns you about it and might offer to fix the issue.
What is Qt for MCUs?
Qt for MCUs is a comprehensive framework that supports various embedded platforms. It has Qt Quick Ultralite (QUL) and a toolkit that you can use to design, develop, and deploy UIs on MCUs. Also, depending on the target device, you can run applications on Bare Metal, Linux, RTOS, or Zephyr® operating systems.
Qt Quick Ultralite is a lightweight implementation of Qt Quick that provides a QML API and an efficient graphics rendering engine with a low memory footprint. The engine is optimized for MCUs and other resource-constrained devices.
