New in Bolt: Import Figma frames into existing projects
Design team pushed changes mid-build? No problem. Import Figma frames directly into your Bolt project at any stage of development.
Product
Designs change all the time. That’s just how software projects work.
Bolt has always supported Figma imports, but only at the start of a project. Which meant if you were mid-build and needed to add a design, you were stuck with two options: start over, or recreate the designs manually.
Until today.
Now, you can import Figma frames into your Bolt project at any time, even when you’re deep into development.
Import Figma frames into projects you've already started
You can now bring Figma designs into any Bolt project — not just when you're starting fresh, but in the middle of building. When the design changes (and it always changes), your project adapts without requiring a rebuild.
What this means for you:
Import exactly what changed. Need the new modal design? Import that frame. Got a redesigned sidebar? Bring it in. You don’t have to import everything. Just what you actually need.
Keep your existing work intact. You've already connected your database. Your auth is working. Your state management is set up. None of that goes away. The new design components integrate with what you've already built.
Update as designs evolve. First review comes back with feedback. Designer ships v2 of the component. Import the updated frame. Your project stays current without starting from scratch.
Who this helps
Everyone. From solo builders to devs on enterprise teams.
It’s especially useful when:
You get design feedback after you’ve already started building
Your designer is iterating in Figma while you’re writing code
“Just one small design change” comes through three times a day
How it works
Open your Bolt project (the one you're already working on)
Click the + icon in the chatbox
Select "Import Figma frame"
Paste the frame URL
Keep it moving
The frames come in with the structure you need. The spacing, layout, components, etc. are all intact. You keep the logic and connections you've already built.
What this unlocks
Design and development don't happen in sequence anymore. They inform each other. Designs are often refined based on what's technically feasible, and implementation influences the next design iteration.
It’s a symbiotic relationship that helps both designers and developers create their best work. And now, it runs a lot more smoothly.
Your tools should work the way you actually work: iterative, collaborative, and ever-evolving.
This does that.
Try it now. Open any existing Bolt project and import your first Figma frame. Takes about 30 seconds.
