Frontify and Figma
Frontify is a brand management platform that helps teams centralize brand guidelines, templates, and assets, and foster creative collaboration.
Frontify has two integrations to connect your Figma Design files and Frontify brand systems:
- Frontify plugin: Access and add brand elements stored in Frontify—such as media, colors, or fonts—directly in Figma Design files
- The Figma Content Block: Add Figma assets to Guideline pages in Frontify
Before you start, you will need a paid Frontify plan that includes the projects feature, and have editor rights in at least one Frontify project.
Add Frontify assets to Figma
The Frontify plugin allows you to access and use brand colors, typography, local styles, media library, and icon and logo libraries directly in Figma Design files.
- Save the Frontify plugin and run it from any Figma Design file.
- From the plugin, type your Frontify domain and click Get Started.
- Log in to Frontify if needed, then click Allow access from the authorization window.
Once you’ve authorized the plugin, you can start using assets from the Frontify plugin in your Figma Design files.

Add Figma assets to Frontify

- In Frontify, select the Projects tab from one of your brands.
- Open a project, then click New in the top-right corner and select Figma from the dropdown.

Install the Figma Content Block
You must install the Figma Content Block before you can add Figma assets to Guideline pages.
The Figma Block only needs to be installed once per Figma team. For example, if the Figma assets you’ll be importing to Frontify belong to two teams, you’ll need to install the Figma Content Block for each team.
