Locofy

What is Locofy?

Locofy is a design-to-code platform founded in Singapore that converts Figma and Adobe XD files into developer-ready front-end code. The company was started by Honey Mittal and Anubhav Singh, who wanted to kill the repetitive work of turning pixel-perfect designs into working interfaces.

You install the Locofy plugin, open your design, and it detects the components, text styles and layout behind the frames. Locofy then generates responsive code in a framework you choose, from plain HTML and CSS up to React, Next.js or React Native.

The pitch is speed and control. Designers get a working prototype in code without waiting on developers, and developers get a foundation they can review, refactor and extend instead of starting from zero.

Key Features

• Figma and Adobe XD plugins that read your design layers
• Output to React, Next.js, HTML/CSS and React Native
• Responsive design conversion with breakpoints
• Automatic detection of components, buttons and inputs
• Locofy Lightning for fast one-click code generation
• Clean, readable code structure that developers can refactor
• Design system support with reusable components

How to get started

Start by installing the Locofy plugin from the Figma Community or the Adobe XD plugin marketplace. Open the design you want to convert, launch the plugin, and select the frames or screens to include.

Choose your target framework and let Locofy generate the code. You can preview the result in the browser, tweak settings like responsive behavior, then download the project or push it to your repository.

• Install the Locofy plugin in Figma or Adobe XD
• Open your design and select the screens to convert
• Pick a framework: React, Next.js, HTML/CSS or React Native
• Generate and preview the responsive output
• Tweak component and layout settings if needed
• Download the project and continue in your codebase

Use cases

• Startups shipping an MVP from design files without a full dev team
• Agencies delivering front-end code faster for client projects
• Designers producing clickable, code-based prototypes for testing
• Teams converting legacy designs into modern React or Next.js apps
• Hackathons and jam projects that need working UIs in hours

Pricing and licensing

Locofy uses a freemium model. The free tier lets you convert designs with limits on the number of projects and exported screens, while paid plans unlock more conversions, team features and advanced options like React Native output.

Pricing details and plan limits change over time, so check the official website for the current breakdown before committing.

Pros and cons

Locofy shines at turning well-structured designs into a working codebase quickly, which is a huge time saver for MVPs and prototypes. The responsive conversion is smarter than naive pixel export, and developers generally find the output readable.

The catch is that generated code quality depends heavily on how the original design was organized. Messy layers produce messy output, and for complex, state-heavy apps you will still rewrite a lot by hand. Locofy is a booster, not a replacement for developers.
