Frequently Asked Questions
💡 Basics
▶ Is it free to use?
Yes! Pixel Fine Converter can be installed for free from the Figma Community. The Free plan includes all of the basic conversions — shapes, text, styles, effects, masks, images, and more. There are limits of 3 artboards and a 30 MB file size.
▶ Are my design files sent anywhere?
No, never. All conversion happens locally on your machine. Network access is disabled at the Figma platform level — this is a technical guarantee, not just a promise.
▶ Do I need Adobe XD installed?
No. Pixel Fine Converter parses .xd files directly, so you don't need Adobe XD installed.
▶ Where can I get a .xd file?
In Adobe XD, use "File > Save As" to save a .xd file locally. For cloud documents, use the "Save a copy locally" option.
▶ What environments are supported?
It works with both the Figma desktop app (Windows / macOS) and the browser version (figma.com).
🎯 Conversion accuracy
▶ How faithful is the conversion?
Shapes, text (font, color, size, line height), gradients, effects (drop shadow, blur, etc.), masks, images, and group structure are all reproduced as native Figma nodes. Pro additionally converts Auto Layout, Components, and Prototype interactions.
▶ Can fonts change after conversion?
Pixel Fine Converter carries over the font specified in XD as-is. However, if that font isn't installed in your Figma environment, Figma will show it as a "Missing font." The plugin does not convert or substitute fonts on its own.
▶ Are there elements that can't be converted?
Elements with no equivalent concept in Figma's API — such as XD 3D transforms, embedded video, and certain plugin-specific effects — are out of scope. Additionally, rendering differences between XD and Figma can cause a few pixels of drift in text position or gradient angles. Pro's Fine-tuning features can reduce these differences.
▶ Is conversion quality different between Free and Pro?
Basic conversion (shapes, text, styles, etc.) quality is identical. Pro adds structural features like Auto Layout, Components, and Prototype interactions — it does not degrade the Free-tier conversion in any way.
⭐ Pro plan
▶ Is Pro a one-time purchase? Are there subscriptions?
$29, one-time purchase. No monthly or annual fees, no per-file charges. Pay once, use every Pro feature without limit.
▶ Can I try Pro features before buying?
You can verify the basic conversion quality on the Free plan. The Features pages cover the Pro features (Auto Layout, Components, etc.) in detail.
▶ What about refunds?
Payment is processed through Figma Payments. For refund policy, please contact Figma support.
🔧 Troubleshooting
▶ Text is clipped after conversion
Because XD and Figma use different font metrics, text inside clipping frames can overflow by a few pixels. Turn on Pro's "Expand clip frames to fit text" option, and the frame will automatically extend by just the overflow amount.
▶ Hover interactions don't work in the desktop app
Right after opening a file, interactions may not run until font loading finishes. Wait a bit and try the preview again. The browser version (figma.com) preview also works for verification.
▶ Conversion seems to stall partway through
Large files (many artboards, lots of components) can take a while to convert. As long as the progress bar is moving, please let it finish. You can also cancel with the Cancel button.
▶ How long does conversion take?
It depends on file size and complexity, but typical files complete in a few seconds to under a minute. Even large files with Components and Auto Layout usually finish within a few minutes.
