How to Connect Figma to Framer 2026 (Copy & Paste Method)
In this video, I will show you how to connect Figma to Framer in 2026. Framer has made this process incredibly simple with their official "Figma to HTML" plugin, which allows you to copy layouts from Figma and paste them directly into Framer as editable layers. I will guide you through the plugin installation and the exact "Copy" settings you need to use to ensure your buttons and text styles carry over correctly.
I will explain why "Auto Layout" is the secret to a successful import. If your Figma file uses loose groups and absolute positioning, the transfer will look broken. I will demonstrate how to structure your frames with Auto Layout in Figma first, so that when you paste them into Framer, they automatically adapt to different screen sizes without needing to be rebuilt from scratch.
We will also cover the limitations of this connection. Since Framer handles interactions differently than Figma, I will show you which elements (like simple hover states) transfer over and which ones (like complex "Smart Animate" component sets) you will need to recreate inside Framer using their native "Effects" panel.
