Converting editable PSD templates to Sketch or Figma files is a common requirement for designers aiming to leverage modern design platforms while retaining legacy assets
Before you open the PSD in your target tool, take time to clean up the structure
Use intuitive naming conventions like “Header-Logo” or “CTA-Button” instead of “Layer 1” or “Copy 2”
Use folder structures that align with your design system or component library
Remove layers that are turned off, masked out, or no longer needed
Flatten or merge layers that don’t require editability—such as background textures, noise overlays, or complex blending effects
Alternatively, use File > Import to bring in the PSD manually
Figma generally preserves layer hierarchy better than Sketch, maintaining more of the original structure
Some effects may appear as rasterized images or disappear entirely
Match the font family, به آموز size, weight, line height, and letter spacing precisely to preserve visual integrity
Use the alignment and distribution tools to correct any offsets or misplacements
This is not a drawback—it’s an opportunity to optimize for performance
Use consistent naming: “Button-Primary,” “Card-Featured,” “Icon-Search”
A well-converted file should scale gracefully across devices
Share it with your team via cloud collaboration features
Always retain a backup copy of the original PSD in a secure folder
While automated tools claim to do the work, they often overlook typography, spacing, and subtle visual hierarchy
