Free Figma plugin now turns a Figma page into native, editable objects, components and live layouts for either Altia toolchain

For some of our customers, HMI design starts in Figma, and every step from there to the target adds time, cost and risk. This release shortens that path.”

— Michael Hill, CEO of Altia

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Altia, a provider of embedded human-machine interface (HMI) development tools deployed across more than 100 million devices, today announced Altia Exporter 2.0 for Figma. The free plugin turns a Figma design into an Altia project and now exports to Altia BluePrint, Altia’s exciting new AI tool for building embedded user interfaces, as well as to Altia Design.

Product teams in automotive, medical, industrial and consumer electronics increasingly shape their interfaces in Figma, yet those designs have typically been recreated by hand once work moves to embedded hardware. Exporter 2.0 carries the design forward as editable objects rather than flat images, so HMI developers work from the designer’s intent instead of a screenshot.

“For some of our customers, HMI design starts in Figma, and every step from there to the target adds time, cost and risk,” said Michael Hill, CEO of Altia. “This release shortens that path. Designers keep working in the tool they know, and engineers get a project they can build on, whether their program leverages Altia Design or Altia BluePrint.”

What’s new in Altia Exporter 2.0

• One exporter, two targets. A single plugin exports a Figma page as an Altia Design XML project or as an Altia BluePrint project.

• Native, editable BluePrint output. Figma objects such as rectangles, shapes, rounded corners, lines, live text, masks and more become BluePrint objects, not flat images.

• Components and auto layout carry over. Component sets, instances, component properties and slot content come across intact, and Figma auto layout becomes live BluePrint layouts.

• Sharp vector graphics. With Vector Pictures enabled for BluePrint export, a layer that cannot become a native object exports as an SVG that stays crisp at any display size.

• A clear record of every export. Each export includes a summary file that lists what each Figma layer became and every warning, so teams know exactly what to review.

• Altia Design export, modernized. The established Altia Design export continues, now rebuilt on updated plugin code and the current Figma plugin API. It retains support for Figma variables with modes, which export as Altia themes.

From Figma to production hardware

BluePrint exports open in Visual Studio Code with the Altia BluePrint extension or run directly in the BluePrint Viewer. Altia Design exports import as objects in the .dsn file. From either tool, Altia DeepScreen generates production code for the customer’s embedded target, giving teams a defined path from a Figma page to final product.

Availability

Altia Exporter 2.0 for Figma is available now as a free plugin on the Figma Community. To see the Figma-to-BluePrint or Figma-to-Design workflow in action, contact Altia to schedule a demo at info@altia.com.
