Whether you’re showcasing a new homepage layout, presenting a style system, or embedding an entire prototype, Figma makes it easy to share your creations. With the right tools and WordPress configurations, embedding can be done in just a few steps.<\/p>\n
Step-by-Step Guide to Embedding Figma in WordPress<\/h2>\n1. Prepare Your Figma Design for Embedding<\/h3>\n
Before embedding, you need to make sure your Figma file is properly prepared for sharing.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Open your design in Figma.<\/li>\n
- Select the specific frame (or prototype) you’d like to embed.<\/li>\n
- Click the Share<\/em> button in the top-right corner.<\/li>\n
- Ensure sharing permissions are set to Anyone with the link<\/strong> can View<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Click Get Embed Code<\/em> from the dropdown menu or via the overflow menu (three dots).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The embed code will look something like this:<\/p>\n
<iframe style=\"border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \nsrc=\"https:\/\/www.figma.com\/embed?embed_host=share&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.figma.com%2Ffile%2FXXXXXX\" \nallowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/code><\/pre>\n2. Choosing the Right Place in WordPress<\/h3>\n
WordPress offers various methods to insert content depending on the editor and tools you’re using. The most common ways include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Gutenberg (Block Editor)<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Classic Editor<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Page Builders (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3. Embedding via Gutenberg (Block Editor)<\/h3>\n
For those using the modern Gutenberg editor:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Open the page or post you want to edit.<\/li>\n
- Click the +<\/strong> button to add a new block.<\/li>\n
- Select the Custom HTML<\/strong> block.<\/li>\n
- Paste your Figma iframe embed code into the block.<\/li>\n
- Click Preview<\/em> to view the embedded design.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This is a quick and effective method that works for any user comfortable with working in HTML blocks.<\/p>\n
4. Embedding via Classic Editor<\/h3>\n
For those using the Classic Editor plugin or on older versions of WordPress:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Go to the page you want to edit.<\/li>\n
- Switch to the Text<\/strong> tab (not the Visual tab).<\/li>\n
- Paste the Figma iframe embed code where you want the design to appear.<\/li>\n
- Switch back to the Visual<\/strong> tab to verify placement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Note: Make sure your theme or plugin doesn’t strip iframe tags. Some older WordPress configurations may require additional settings or allowlists.<\/p>\n
5. Embedding within Page Builders<\/h3>\n
If you’re using a visual page builder like Elementor or Divi, the process remains essentially the same.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Elementor:<\/strong> Drag in an HTML widget<\/em> and paste your iframe code.<\/li>\n
- Divi:<\/strong> Use the Code Module<\/em> to embed the iframe.<\/li>\n
- WPBakery:<\/strong> Use a Raw HTML<\/em> element in your layout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Most premium page builders are quite iframe-friendly and allow real-time previews inside their visual interfaces.<\/p>\n
Best Practices When Embedding Figma<\/h2>\n
To ensure the best visual experience and usability, follow these tips:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Use appropriate sizing:<\/strong> Set an iframe width and height that ensures comfortable viewing without excessive scrolling.<\/li>\n
- Make designs responsive:<\/strong> While Figma frames themselves aren’t dynamically responsive, you can wrap the iframe in responsive containers or use CSS media queries in advanced scenarios.<\/li>\n
- Limit the number of embedded designs:<\/strong> Embedding too many iframes on a single page can slow down load times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\nAlternatives to Embedding<\/h2>\n
There are times when a full embed may not be necessary or ideal. Here are alternative ways to present Figma designs in WordPress:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Link to Public Figma File:<\/strong> Share a view-only URL and link it as a button or image thumbnail.<\/li>\n
- Export Static Image:<\/strong> Save design as PNG or JPG and upload into WordPress’s media library.<\/li>\n
- Use Plugins:<\/strong> Some third-party plugins support richer embeds or integration workflows between Figma and WordPress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These alternate methods can be useful in situations where iframe embeds are restricted or when simpler previews are needed.<\/p>\n
Use Case Scenarios<\/h2>\n
Still deciding if Figma embeds are right for you? Consider the following instances where it adds significant value:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Client Presentation:<\/em> Showcasing interactive flows for client walkthroughs within a WordPress-hosted prototype site.<\/li>\n
- Design Handoff:<\/em> Providing developers with a living reference that updates whenever the design does.<\/li>\n
- Portfolio Showcases:<\/em> Highlighting your Figma design work directly in your personal or agency website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\nSecurity and Privacy Considerations<\/h2>\n
Since embedded Figma frames rely on a public view URL, always be mindful of sensitive content. If your design contains proprietary material:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Ensure you have proper consent before sharing publicly.<\/li>\n
- Use team or restricted access in Figma when needed.<\/li>\n
- Consider static screenshots instead of live embeds for sensitive content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
Embedding Figma designs into WordPress brings design and development closer together. It improves collaboration, performance, and understanding\u2014especially when used wisely within client workflows and development pipelines. With a few simple steps, you can showcase, test, and deploy design concepts directly in WordPress, bridging the visual and functional gap like never before.<\/p>\n
