What does Figma to FlutterFlow actually import?

Design systems (colors, typography), page scaffolds from Auto Layout frames. No components, interactions, or free-position elements.

Does Figma to FlutterFlow save development time?

Yes for layouts and themes on structured files — hours to days. But add 40% buffer for fixes, logic, rebuilds.

Why do Figma components fail in FlutterFlow?

No direct mapping; FlutterFlow requires manual rebuilds. Variants and states import as static widgets.
