01The Figma to KMP Problem Every Mobile Team Faces
Your designer finishes a screen in Figma. It looks perfect. Then it lands on your KMP developer's desk — and suddenly a one-day task becomes a week-long translation exercise. Colors copied by eye. Spacing estimated. Layouts rebuilt from scratch in Compose. Every sprint, without fail.
This is the Figma to KMP gap — and until now, no tool actually solved it. Design-to-code tools like Locofy, Anima and Builder.io generate HTML. Great for web teams. Completely useless for Kotlin Multiplatform teams shipping Android, iOS and Desktop from a single shared codebase.
02How FigmaForge Solves Figma to KMP Conversion
FigmaForge is the only tool that converts Figma designs directly to Kotlin Multiplatform Compose code — with a live browser preview before you export. Here is exactly what happens:
03KMP Web Emulator — Live Interactive Preview
After generating Compose Multiplatform code, FigmaForge shows your UI live in the browser — switch between Android, iPhone and Desktop with one click. Your actual generated KMP code compiled via WebAssembly. Not a mockup. Not a screenshot.
📱 Material 3 Android
Proper status bar, Android nav gestures, Material Design 3 components. Exactly what your Android users see — no Gradle, no Android Studio.
⚡ Instant Render
No Gradle build, no emulator boot. Your Compose UI appears in seconds via WebAssembly compilation directly in browser.
✓ Quality Validated
Pixel accuracy checked against your Figma design. AI retries automatically until your threshold is met before preview.
04What Does the Generated KMP Code Look Like?
The biggest concern with any design-to-code tool is quality. Here is real output from FigmaForge for a standard product card:

08FAQ — Figma to KMP
Can FigmaForge convert any Figma file to KMP?
Yes — public and private Figma files both work. For private files, add your Figma personal access token. Cards, forms, hero sections and standard screens generate cleanly. Complex components may need minor adjustments.
Is Compose Multiplatform the same as Jetpack Compose?
Compose Multiplatform is built on Jetpack Compose and shares the same API. The difference is that KMP targets Android, iOS and Desktop from a single shared codebase. If your team knows Jetpack Compose, the KMP output requires zero additional learning.
How is FigmaForge different from Locofy or Anima for KMP?
Locofy and Anima only generate HTML — neither supports Kotlin Multiplatform at all. FigmaForge is the only design-to-code tool generating KMP Compose code with live browser preview. See the comparison table above.
Can I use generated KMP code in my existing project?
Yes. FigmaForge generates standalone @Composable functions that drop directly into your existing KMP project. Standard Compose Multiplatform conventions, no proprietary dependencies.
What does the free plan include?
200 points per month — enough for 5–10 complete component screens. All features included: KMP generation, KMP Web Emulator, quality validation, diff viewer and live logs. No credit card required. See full pricing.
