Canvas Builder + Figma
Canvas Builder and Figma complement each other in a modern design-to-code workflow. Use Canvas Builder to rapidly generate HTML layouts for review before investing time in Figma. Or use Figma designs as the specification for your Canvas Builder prompt. Both directions are faster than starting from scratch.
Use Cases
How It Works
Figma → Canvas Builder
After completing a Figma design, write a Canvas Builder prompt based on the design spec: sections, layout columns, component types, colours (from Figma's colour styles), and typography. Canvas Builder generates matching HTML using Canvas components.
Canvas Builder → Figma
For rapid ideation: generate the HTML layout with Canvas Builder first, then use it as a structural reference for your Figma design. Skip the blank canvas problem — start from a working layout.
Developer handoff
Canvas Builder's HTML output serves as a ready-to-use developer handoff. Instead of a Figma file that needs to be coded from scratch, developers receive working Bootstrap 5 HTML they can inspect, extend, and integrate.
Inspect Bootstrap classes in Figma
Use Figma's inspect panel alongside Canvas Builder's generated HTML to map visual design decisions (spacing, colour, typography) to Bootstrap 5 utility classes. This bridges the design-to-code gap.
