:waving_hand: Hey design community!
Has anyone tried https://figma-to-penpot.zerstro.com/ to transfer Figma files to Penpot?

Is it worth using for a real project?
Curious about the quality and what actually carries over.
I check some files which really worked!

Hello @David_Wright

Never seen that beforeā€¦ Maybe Iā€™ll test this later tonight to see how far it can go.

Iā€™ve tested and it works, but with a few issuesā€¦

  • All my screens from a project that were inside a section are just gone, soā€¦ it doesnā€™t see anything that is inside sections while converting;
  • Every image seems to be imported without considering aspect ratio and position, maybe this is also part Penpotā€™s fault, as thereā€™s no precise control over the aspect ratio and positioning of an image being used as fill;
  • It doesnā€™t convert styles to Penpot format;
  • It doesnā€™t convert text to the default Penpot font if the original font used on the project is not present in Penpot;

This is as far as Iā€™ve noticed on my tests. It seems promising, but it has considerable room for improvement.

Whatā€™s wrong with using the Penpot main export plugin for figma?

  • As for image aspect ratio ya Penpot doesnā€™t have a way yet to use fill, cover, repeat, etc.
    Not sure why they havenā€™t worked on this yet.ā£ :thinking:

  • Also, styles donā€™t get converted either with normal Penpot export

Other than that, the normal Penport export plugin seems to work fine for me.

As @Scarlywebs mentioned, I would recommend the Penpot Exporter plugin.

Iā€™m dropping the link here just in case someone doesnā€™t know about it https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1219369440655168734/penpot-exporter
