Optimizing Frontend Code

Steps to Prepare a Figma Design for AI

1. Open your design file in Figma.
2. Select the specific frame or section you want to convert into code.
3. Right-click on the selected frame.
4. Select 'Copy/Paste as' from the dropdown menu.
5. Click 'Copy as PNG' to capture the exact visual (screenshot-to-code technique).
6. Ensure the resolution is high enough so the AI can accurately identify small elements like icons and text.

2. Click on the main input area or press 'Ctrl+V' (Windows) or 'Cmd+V' (Mac) to paste your Figma image.

5. Click the 'Copy Code' button to copy the entire code to your clipboard.

4. Press 'Enter' or click the send button to start a 'Live Preview' session.
5. Monitor the right panel to see your website functioning in real-time.
