When an online converter is enough
If you only need a rough visual reference and the PSD is not sensitive, an online converter may be acceptable. If you need editable layers or do not want to upload client files, use a Figma plugin workflow.
When PSD2Figma is the better fit
- Client files or private design assets should stay local.
- You want editable text, groups, effects and image layers in Figma.
- You already work in Figma and want direct import into the current file.
- You need repeat conversion for an agency or migration workflow.
Use local PSD to Figma conversion
Start free, keep your PSD local, and upgrade only when unlimited conversion is useful.
