Tailwind Sync is a plugin for Figma that synchronizes variables to Tailwind code, enhancing design-to-dev handoff for speed, consistency, and scalability.
👋 Hey Hunters! I’m Youssef, Design Engineer at source.paris and one of the creators of Tailwind Sync, a free Figma plugin we’re launching today!
🤔 What it does and why we built it?
We couldn’t find a market solution that streamlined the design-to-code process while properly handling theming and reusable tokens for complex projects.
So, we created our own tool: a plugin to easily sync Figma variables to Tailwind.
We’re releasing it for free, hoping it helps teams save time, avoid manual errors, and track design changes—from simple projects to complex design systems.
💡Key features:
- Plug and play: Simply drag and drop the file into your code editor and start coding with the exact same theme as in Figma.
- Variables, not values: Tailwind Sync outputs variables instead of hardcoded values.
- Built-in changelog: Automatically tracks and documents changes to variables and text styles for versioning and communication.
- Tailwind scoping: Ensures Tailwind scoping matches Figma’s, guiding developers to use values consistently, and maintain design integrity.
🙌 We’d love to hear what you think, how you’re using it, and any ideas for improvements.
Thanks for checking it out!

Hey @kyrylosilin,
Yes, it absolutely does! The plugin was designed specifically to support both variables and aliases, which is essential for handling complex design systems.
For example, in one of the largest design systems in France (BNPP), it only takes about 5 minutes to process and hand over thousands of variables from Figma to Tailwind.
The built_ in changelog feature is a lifesaver, making it easy to track changes and keeps everyone on the same page. It's great for ensuring that the design integrity stays intact for.
Report
The ability to sync Figma variables directly to Tailwind code saves so much time and ensures consistency across projects.
Congrats to the Tailwind Sync team on the launch! This plugin sounds like a fantastic way to streamline the design-to-development process. Does it support customization for different Tailwind configurations or design systems?
@vietpham Thank you! Yes, it definitely supports customization for different Tailwind configurations and design systems. You can easily adapt it to fit your specific setup, making it flexible for various projects.
