Framer vs Figma for Prototyping
How Framer and Figma differ for prototyping and pulling SVG assets.
Design Tool vs Site Builder
Figma is a vector design tool that exports SVG and prototypes within the canvas. Framer has evolved into a production website builder with advanced interactions, also using vector assets you can bring in or export as SVG.
- Figma: vector design + SVG export + prototyping
- Framer: live website building with rich interactions
- Both handle vector/SVG assets
Choosing Your Workflow
Use Figma to design UI and export SVG icons and graphics; use Framer when you want to publish an interactive site directly. Bring clean SVGs into Framer for crisp, scalable visuals.
- Design + handoff → Figma
- Publish a live site → Framer
- Import clean SVGs into Framer for crisp visuals
