FigCraft 0.4.0 was published on October 12, 2026 and is the largest of the early releases. This summary follows the official release notes.

Figma files

  • .fig import (best effort): FigCraft can open Figma's own file format. Its authors say import has not yet been checked against real-world files.
  • Experimental .fig export writes a FigCraft document back to .fig.
