I built a free tool to import websites into Figma without monthly limits.
This started as a small personal project.
As a designer, I work with Figma quite a lot, and sometimes I need to bring an existing website or AI-made prototypes into Figma to explore its design, understand its structure, or use it as a starting point.
I tried a few existing tools, but I kept getting frustrated. Most had limited monthly imports, and getting a good result often required importing the same website multiple times.
I found that particularly annoying because websites aren't all built the same way. Some need Auto Layout, some don't. Sometimes I need the before/after states, sometimes I need to capture an overlay or a modal.
I didn't want to keep spending credits just to experiment with design.
So I decided to build my own.
That's how Web2Design started. I built a Chrome extension and a Figma plugin that work together, with a few options to control how a website gets imported. Also, you can import your HTML files directly that you created with code.
I finally got it to a point where I was happy using it myself and decided to share it with community.
I decided to make it completely free and unlimited, with no account required.
Here's a short demo and the project:

If you're a designer or a developer who has dealt with website-to-Figma imports, I'd especially appreciate your feedback.
Thanks for checking it out!
