Optimize text rendering	Convert text layers to StaticText QML type to optimize text rendering on Qt for MCUs.	Convert into Qt for MCUs and Create projects for Qt for MCUs
Spark font engine for text rendering	Add a setting to the QML project file to use the Spark font engine for internationalized Qt for MCUs projects that have complex scripts (such as Arabic, Hindi, or Thai) or bidirectional text or need dynamic text rendering.	Create projects for Qt for MCUs and Use the Spark font engine on Qt for MCUs
Convert variables into design tokens	Convert variables into QML modules called DesignTokens and create a QML singleton for each variable collection.	Convert variables into design tokens
Use FlexboxLayout for auto layout	Convert horizontal and vertical auto layout frames and components into FlexboxLayout QML type. Grid layout is not supported. The type was added in Q 6.10 and is still in development. It is not supported on Qt for MCUs.	Apply auto layout

Asset settings

To view and change settings that affect asset generation, go to (Settings) > Code > Assets in the plugin.

Asset settings in Code settings on the Settings page in the plugin.

Setting	Description	See also
Image format	Save assets in PNG or JPG format.	Select asset file format
Generate high-DPI assets	Create also 2x-scaled versions of images for high-DPI displays. Qt automatically chooses the best representation for the target display at runtime.	Create high-DPI versions of assets
Download font files	Add font files to the ZIP file when you select Download. Figma to Qt adds only custom fonts that you use in the converted layers.	Download converted designs and Use the Spark font engine on Qt for MCUs
Cache size	Caching assets speeds up the conversion process. The plugin recreates assets only if you change the layer in Figma or select Clear in Clear cache. Increase the cache size if usage stays close to 100%. A large cache consumes system memory.	Manage asset cache
