I have 100+ symbols and Adobe Illustrator, I want to move all of the to Figma as components.

All the symbols in one file.

I’m looking for a method to automatlically export all the symbols with their names, and create Figma components from all of them.


There is a method or script for that?


If not, and you’re willling to help with that (and getting paid), please let me know using this form.

I would like to update you that I did it by myself. In couple of minutes by small Figma Script, I would like to share with you if someone else need.


First I copy all the Symbols from AI to Figma. The symbols copies as groups, not as components.


I wrote the script below to convert those group to symbols. Open your Console, and paste this script:


for (topFrame of figma.currentPage.children) {

frames=topFrame.findAll(x=>x.type=='FRAME')

    for(var frame of frames) {

        console.log(frame.name)        

        console.log(frame)

        fx=frame.x

        fy=frame.y

        const component = figma.createComponent()

        topFrame.appendChild(component)

        component.resizeWithoutConstraints(frame.width, frame.height)

        for (const child of frame.children) {

          component.appendChild(child)

        }

        component.name=frame.name

        component.x=fx

        component.y=fy

        frame.remove()

    }   

}

Nice! Thanks @Aminadav_Glickshtein - I modified your topic title a bit to make it easier to surface. Anyone who is looking for a similar solution should be able to find your solution.
