Export Figma to Tailwind CSS with Kombai

Taking a clean Figma design and turning it into a real, responsive UI sounds simple, but we all know it rarely is.

You start with a neat layout, and suddenly you’re spending hours matching spacing, tweaking font sizes, fixing alignment, and trying to make the page responsive. None of this is hard, but it adds up fast — and slows down everything else you could actually build.

This is where a specialised frontend agent like Kombai becomes useful in your frontend workflow. Instead of manually rebuilding the whole design, you can let Kombai handle the heavy lifting. It understands the structure of your Figma file and turns it into clean Tailwind code that feels like a developer wrote it, not a generic plugin.

In this guide, we’ll take a few real Figma designs and see how Kombai converts each of them into Tailwind with almost no effort required from your side. Let’s get started!

Kombai: The Best Way to Export Figma to Tailwind CSS

Kombai is a specialised frontend agent that actually understands UI the way developers do. It recognizes layout patterns, spacing rules, hierarchy, and component groupings inside your Figma design, and uses that understanding to generate real, maintainable code.

Because it also knows 400+ frontend libraries, the Tailwind it produces naturally follows the same patterns you’d use in a real codebase. No boilerplate, no auto-generated clutter — just clean utility classes and logical structure.

Here’s why developers prefer Kombai over traditional plugins:

Compact, readable Tailwind: It keeps class lists tight and meaningful instead of cluttering code with utility classes.
Real structural understanding: Kombai knows when to use flex vs. grid, how to group elements, and how to avoid brittle layout structures common in generated code.
Built for scale: Whether it’s a small component or a full dashboard, Kombai handles complex, multi-section layouts with the same level of accuracy.

That’s what makes Kombai different from existing tools. Now let’s see how it works under the hood.

How Kombai Works

Kombai starts by reading your Figma file like a frontend engineer — identifying layout patterns, hierarchy, spacing rules, and how components relate to each other. This is the key step other tools miss, and the reason their output feels messy.

Once Kombai understands the design:

It maps the layout — grids, flex patterns, groupings
Adapts to your codebase — naming conventions, component style, structure
Generates clean Tailwind code — minimal wrappers, logical class usage, clean structuring by default.

The result is code that looks like something you’d write manually — just delivered within seconds.

Getting Started with Kombai

Getting started with Kombai is simple. Install the extension in your IDE, sign in once, connect your Figma account, and you’re set.

Open the Kombai panel from your IDE’s sidebar. You’ll see a place to paste your Figma link and add your prompt. From there, you can generate Tailwind code instantly, just like the examples shown later in this blog.

For example, here’s how it looks inside Cursor:

Export Figma To Tailwind CSS with Kombai - Real Examples

In this section, we will look at some real-world examples of converting Figma designs to Tailwind CSS using Kombai.

Here’s what we are going to recreate:

a Login page
a Pricing section
a Landing page and
a Dashboard

Let’s get started.

The login page is always a good starting point. Almost every product has one, and it’s a straightforward way to see how Kombai handles forms and basic layout in Tailwind.

Figma design:

Here’s the design that we will use:

Prompt used:

This is the prompt that I used:

“Convert this Figma design into clean, production-quality HTML with Tailwind CSS. Match the layout, spacing, typography, and visual details from the design, and keep the markup minimal and easy to maintain.”

Kombai output:

This is what Kombai generated:

(Kombai-generated login page)

What Kombai got right:

The overall layout matched the design closely — spacing, alignment, and typography were all on point.
It initially used the wrong circle colour, but corrected it instantly with one follow-up.
The generated Tailwind markup was readable and easy to work with.
Assets were placed in a separate folder, which matches how real frontend projects are actually structured.

Code snippet:

Here’s a small part of the form section Kombai generated:

<div class="flex flex-col gap-6">
 <div class="flex flex-col gap-1">
   <label for="email" class="text-base text-[#666666]">Your email</label>
   <input type="email" id="email" class="input-field" />
 </div>
 <div class="flex flex-col gap-1">
   <label for="password" class="text-base text-[#666666]">Your password</label>
   <input type="password" id="password" class="input-field" />
 </div>
</div>

Notice how it uses flex-col and gap to handle spacing rather than margins. This is exactly how a developer would code it manually – keeping the structure simple and avoiding unnecessary wrapper divs, which makes the component easy to refactor later.

Pricing Page: Figma to React + Tailwind

The pricing page is another important component of many real-world web apps. Let’s try building one using Kombai.

Figma design:

This is the design we will use:

Prompt used:

This is the prompt I used for this one:

“Convert this Figma design into React components styled with Tailwind CSS. Keep the layout and visual details true to the design.”

Kombai output:

Here’s the output Kombai produced:

(Kombai-generated pricing page visual)

What Kombai got right:

The page came out exactly like the design. I didn’t have to adjust spacing, alignment, or any of the card styles.
It broke the UI into small React components that actually made sense, so the file didn’t feel heavy.
There were no follow-ups needed at all. It just got the whole page right on the first try.
The responsiveness of the page worked straight away — I didn’t have to fix any breakpoints.

Code snippet:

Below is the code for the Header of each card that Kombai generated:

{/* Header */}

<div className="flex flex-col gap-4 px-5 pt-6">

<h3 className={`text-xl font-semibold ${isProfessional ? 'text-[#1559ea]' : 'text-[rgba(26,26,26,0.7)]'}`}>

{title}

</h3>

<div className="flex items-baseline gap-1">

<span className="text-4xl font-bold text-[#1a1a1a]">{price}</span>

<span className="text-lg text-[rgba(26,26,26,0.7)]"> /per month</span>

</div>

<p className="text-lg leading-7 text-[rgba(26,26,26,0.7)]">{description}</p>

<button className={`py-2 px-6 rounded-lg text-lg font-semibold transition-colors ${

isProfessional

? 'bg-[#1559ea] text-white hover:bg-[#0d47c9]'

: 'bg-[#1a1a1a] text-white hover:bg-[#333333]'

}`}>

Get Started

</button>

</div>

This header block came out the way a developer would build it manually – simple layout, clear text hierarchy, a title, and button style that switches cleanly for the highlighted plan. It didn’t need any rework.

Landing Page: Figma to HTML + Tailwind

For this example, I tried converting a landing page into HTML and Tailwind. It has a hero section, a few content blocks, and a set of cards — so it’s a good mixed layout.

Figma design:

Here’s the Figma reference for this example:

Prompt used:

Here’s the prompt I used:

“Convert this Figma design into clean HTML styled with Tailwind CSS. Keep the layout and visual details true to the design.“

Kombai output:

Here’s the final output:

(Kombai generated landing page visual)

As you can see, Kombai did a solid job here as well.

The hero section, the left side content blocks, the button, and the cards line up closely with the Figma design. The spacing feels right, the typography hierarchy is intact, and the overall page looks like the original design itself.

Talking about the responsiveness of the page, that too is handled by Kombai perfectly without any additional command:

What Kombai got right:

The hero section came together exactly as in the design — heading, subheading, and CTA lined up properly without tweaks.
The card layout kept the right proportions and spacing, even when handling mixed images and text.
The page was fully responsive out of the box.
I only needed one follow-up to adjust how the images sat inside the cards; once I pointed it out, it was fixed immediately.

Code snippet:

<div class="relative grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-2 gap-8 lg:gap-12 items-center min-h-[600px] lg:min-h-[800px]">
  <!-- Left Content -->
  <div class="flex flex-col gap-6 lg:gap-8 z-10">
    <div class="w-[150px] h-[190px] sm:w-[200px] sm:h-[250px] lg:w-[231px] lg:h-[291px]">
      <img src="/assets/boba-tea-icon.svg" class="w-full h-full" alt="Boba tea icon" />
    </div>

    <h1 class="text-5xl sm:text-7xl lg:text-[112px] font-bold leading-tight lg:leading-[148px] text-[#271908]">
      Boba vibe
    </h1>

    <p class="text-lg sm:text-xl lg:text-2xl leading-relaxed lg:leading-9 text-[#252525] max-w-[561px]">
      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Faucibus in libero risus semper
    </p>

    <div class="mt-4 lg:mt-8">
      <a href="#menu" class="btn-browse">Browse menu</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Kombai handled this section with a simple two-column grid, which keeps the text and hero illustration aligned cleanly. The grid also handles the shift to larger breakpoints without needing extra layout rules, so the section stays responsive across screen sizes.

Dashboard: Figma to React + Tailwind

For this example, I tried a more complex dashboard layout. Dashboards usually have more moving parts — sidebar, top bar, charts, tables, and different content blocks. Plugins don’t work well here, and manually rebuilding a dashboard like this usually takes days.

It’s the kind of screen where spacing, grouping, and component structure matter a lot, so it’s a good way to see how Kombai handles real-world complexity and detailing.

Figma design:

Here’s the Figma design that we are using for this example:

Prompt used:

This is the prompt that I used:

“Convert this Figma dashboard into React components with Tailwind CSS. Keep the layout accurate and match the design closely.”

Kombai output:

Here’s the output Kombai produced:

What Kombai got right:

It rebuilt the entire dashboard exactly — sidebar, header, cards, charts, and table all matched the original layout.
The spacing stayed consistent across every section, even in tighter areas where dashboards typically start to drift.
The chart blocks and smaller UI details were reproduced accurately.
The only follow-up I gave was to switch the user avatar back to a square shape (Kombai rounded it initially). It then fixed that immediately.

Code snippet:

Let’s look at the Expense Chart component Kombai produced:

import { BarChart, Bar, XAxis, ResponsiveContainer } from 'recharts';
import { expenseChartData } from '../data/mockData';

const ExpenseChart = () => {
 return (
   <div className="mb-8">
     <div className="flex items-center justify-between mb-6">
       <div>
         <h1 className="text-[#262A41] text-[40px] font-semibold leading-[50px] mb-2">
           Expenses
         </h1>
         <p className="text-[#101010]/50 text-[16px]">
           01 - 25 March, 2020
         </p>
       </div>
       <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
         <img
           src="/images/team-avatars.svg"
           alt="Team"
           className="h-[35px]"
         />
         <button className="w-8 h-8 rounded-full bg-white border-2 border-gray-200 flex items-center justify-center text-gray-400 text-lg hover:bg-gray-50 transition-colors">
           +
         </button>
       </div>
     </div>

     <ResponsiveContainer width="100%" height={60}>
       <BarChart data={expenseChartData}>
         <XAxis dataKey="date" hide />
         <Bar
           dataKey="amount"
           fill="#BFDBFE"
           radius={[4, 4, 0, 0]}
           activeBar={{ fill: '#3B82F6' }}
         />
       </BarChart>
     </ResponsiveContainer>
   </div>
 );
};


export default ExpenseChart;

What stood out here is that Kombai didn’t just match the chart design — it also generated a proper Recharts component with a clean Tailwind layout around it, keeping the spacing and structure exactly as in the design.

These examples made it clear that Kombai isn’t just copying pixels — it understands how real interfaces are actually put together.

Conclusion

Converting Figma designs into Tailwind has always taken far more time than it should. Kombai changes that. It reads the design with developer-level understanding, makes the right structural decisions, and produces Tailwind that feels clean, natural, and ready for production.

Across all four examples that we saw, the output stayed accurate, readable, and required almost no follow-up.

If your workflow involves turning Figma designs into real UI regularly, Kombai doesn’t just speed things up — it removes the most repetitive, time-consuming part of frontend work altogether.
