From Gemini to Figma in 5 steps

1. Launch a Gemini project

Head to Gemini and create a fresh project. Just describe what you want—a landing page, a login screen, a full dashboard—and Gemini generates a responsive UI layout complete with copy, layout, and structure.

2. Fine-tune with prompts

Gemini’s built-in chat lets you adjust the layout using natural language. Type prompts like:

  • “Add a testimonial section.”
  • “Change colors to a neutral palette.”
  • “Make it more mobile-friendly.”

Each command instantly updates your live preview, so you can shape your design without touching a single line of code.

3. Capture the design with html.to.design

In Gemini, select the “Preview” option, then launch the html.to.design Chrome extension. Select your desired viewport and theme, then click “Capture preview.” The tool creates an .h2d file (a clean HTML snapshot of your Gemini design) and sends it directly to Figma—or saves it locally if needed.

Open Figma and run the html.to.design plugin. If you chose “Send to Figma,” your design will appear under the “Extension” tab. Click the import icon and your Gemini-generated UI becomes a layered, editable Figma file.
