Figma prototypes
v0s Figma integration extracts context and supplementary visuals from Figma files and passes them into the generation process.
To upload a Figma file, click the Import from Figma button below the prompt field in the v0 interface. This opens a dialog where you can paste a link to a Figma file.
When a link to a Figma file is attached, v0 captures an overall visual understanding of the design and pulls context around the color palette and design tokens used. Using a Figma link typically leads to higher fidelity prototypes than screenshots.
When working with the Figma integration, break designs into smaller, manageable components, just as you would for handoff to developers.
For best results:
- Place each component in its own frame in Figma. This avoids dimension errors and improves AI processing.
- Focus on building and testing individual components (e.g. nav bars, sidebars, forms, date pickers).
- Assemble full pages by combining tested components rather than generating complex layouts simultaneously.
You can combine multiple elements in a single frame for v0, but large designs with many visual contexts can overwhelm AI. If you do, ensure all elements stay within a single frame.
For complex UIs, build smaller elements (e.g. buttons, cards) as separate generations in v0. Then, combine and arrange them, making reuse and iteration more efficient.
The more you use v0 with your Figma designs, the better it becomes at understanding your style preferences, like your favorite fonts and spacing. v0 is learning and adapting to your design language over time.
