A major leap for Design Parser – delivering the most accurate code and cleanest structure yet
By Anya Nerush
The new Design Parser update makes turning Figma designs into code smoother than ever. If you’ve tried it before, this is the time to try again – because the new parser feels like magic.
You paste a link to your Figma page, and the parser automatically generates clean, responsive code that’s ready for further development.
What’s new in Design Parser v0.5.0 – v0.5.1
We’ve focused on making the generation process more accurate, stable, and closer to real developer output.
Highlights:
- Improved overall quality and stability of HTML generation
- Added auto-detection and generation for JavaScript files
- Fixed extracted image naming for cleaner, consistent output
- Fixed image detection – now the actual image is inserted instead of a background block
Together, these updates make Design Parser much more reliable when processing layouts and interactive elements.
Better Figma rules, better results
To help you get the best possible output, we’ve also refined the Figma naming and structure guidelines. These small tweaks can make a big difference in how the parser interprets your designs:
- Use smart keywords:
If a layer or group name includes “icon”, “ico”, “logo”, “bg”, or “background”, everything inside it is treated as one element (image).
Examples: insta-icon, dentist-icon, header-bg, main-logo.
- Name your main frame with “home” or “landing”.
This helps the parser automatically recognize which page becomes index.html.
Examples: home screen, landing page.
- Wrap multi-block sections in one group with a clear name, such as content – this tells the parser it’s a single section.
- For layouts with sidebars, group the sidebar and main content together – this keeps your layout structure clean and logical.
Following these simple rules makes your exported code more accurate and helps the result closely match your original design.
