Convertify ProWhat to check before switching.
Figma already imports Sketch files. Native style, library and component behavior has documented limits, and conversion support is format-specific. Compare fonts, reusable components and prototype behavior on a real project before committing to migration.
Read the workflow guide- Start with a Sketch library with shared colors, text styles and component instances. Audit the source design system.
- Convert the reusable components and styles.
- Verify the migrated library in Figma. Figma already imports Sketch files.
Common questions
What to know before you start.
When should I choose Convertify instead of Native Sketch import?
Teams migrating mixed design formats or needing supported conversions in more than one direction.
When is Native Sketch import a better fit?
Teams importing a Sketch file into Figma where the native importer’s documented support meets the requirements.
What should I check before switching?
Figma already imports Sketch files. Native style, library and component behavior has documented limits, and conversion support is format-specific. Compare fonts, reusable components and prototype behavior on a real project before committing to migration.
Do I need Convertify just to import a Sketch file?
Try the native importer if it covers the required direction and structure. Compare Convertify when the migration spans other supported formats or requires a broader conversion workflow; validate a representative library in either case.
