Figma to Roblox: The Complete Conversion Workflow (2026)
2026-07-21 · Roblox GUI Maker Team
The manual workflow today (and why it is painful)
Today, converting a Figma design to Roblox is a four-step manual process, and every step has friction. You export each layer as a PNG, upload each PNG to your Roblox library one at a time, copy the Asset ID for each, then recreate the layout in Studio with Frames and ImageLabels - manually translating Figma's pixel coordinates into Roblox's Scale/Offset system. The Scale/Offset translation is where most people get stuck, because Figma positions are absolute pixels and Roblox needs responsive percentages.
What the converter will do
The Figma-to-Roblox converter automates the entire pipeline. It reads a Figma file and maps its layers directly to Roblox GUI objects. Figma Frames become ScreenGui and Frame instances, text layers become TextLabel and TextButton with matching fonts and sizes, image layers are uploaded to your Roblox library automatically, and the layout is converted to Scale/Offset so it stays responsive. You go from a Figma URL to a working UI without touching any of the manual steps.
The 3-step workflow
Once the converter launches, the process collapses to three steps. First, you paste a public Figma file URL or connect your Figma account, and the converter reads your frames, components, and image layers. Second, it auto-converts: Frames become Roblox GUI instances with matching names and hierarchy, text keeps its content and styling, and images upload to your Roblox library automatically, with Scale/Offset conversion for responsive layouts. Third, you import via the Studio plugin - pick the converted file and drop the UI into StarterGui in one click. Until the plugin ships, you export Luau and paste it manually.

What you can do today
Until the converter ships, you have two fast options. The AI generator can recreate a design from a plain-text description - describe your Figma design's layout, colors, and elements, and it returns a working Roblox UI. Or you can rebuild it on the editor canvas: drag the same Frames and TextButtons into place and export the Luau. Both produce editable Luau you can paste into StarterGui, and both are faster than the manual PNG-export workflow.
