Framer adds LayoutGPT to auto-translate Figma files into responsive prototypes

Design · 4 min read

LayoutGPT ingests a Figma file and maps frames to responsive components, generating bindings for typical interactions like toggles, carousels, and modal flows. It also suggests responsive behavior across breakpoints, translating fixed layouts into fluid grids and flex-based structures.

The model supports semantic mapping: it can detect a header, primary CTA, and content sections, and create named components that export to a Framer project with linked states. Designers can accept the whole conversion or step through component-by-component to refine states and interactions.

Framer is releasing LayoutGPT as part of their web app with tiered access. The company claims conversion fidelity is highest for well-structured Figma files and provides tips in-app for designers to improve inputs, such as consistent naming and use of auto-layout.
