Go from designs to developer-friendly frontend code in a flash without changing your tech stack or workflows. Get responsive, interactive, and modular code that you can easily export or sync to GitHub/VS Code.
Hey hunters & fellow Builders 👋
I’m Honey Mittal, co-founder of Locofy.ai, alongside @msohaib.
Four years ago, we embarked on a journey to tackle one of the biggest challenges in product development: converting designs into code. The lack of speed, rising costs for good developers, and constant miscommunication is something we have personally experienced over a decade of building together. So, we conceptualized Locofy.ai with the mission of accelerating and democratizing frontend development by effortlessly converting designs to code.
Back in 2021, AI was still in its infancy — it wasn’t the force it is today. Now, as AI becomes more powerful than ever, we find ourselves not just riding the wave but shaping it. Our proprietary foundational Large Design Models (LDMs) have evolved, enabling design-to-code conversions in a flash and allowing developers to focus on complex problems instead of repetitive tasks. This early commitment to AI has uniquely positioned us as a leading tool in the industry.
Since launching Locofy, over 500,000 developers, designers, and builders across 190+ countries have joined us, converting more than 5 million screens into high-quality frontend code. We’re beyond grateful for the invaluable feedback from our beta community over the past 4 years, and today, we’re thrilled to share with the Product Hunt community that Locofy.ai is out of beta! 🎉
Here’s what’s new:
💸 Flexible Pricing Plans: From pay-as-you-go to custom enterprise plans, we’ve got something for everyone – select any plan and get the first 1,000 LDMtokens free. We have not forgotten the Product Hunt community! Scroll to the bottom for an exclusive discount coupon 😻
🔄 Import Custom Components: Build faster by connecting your component library with Locofy. We reuse your existing code and respect any pre-defined properties.
🎨 Figma to Angular: Locofy now supports converting your Figma designs to Angular. Stay tuned for even more frameworks in the coming months.
🤝 Support for Figma Variants: Locofy now fully supports Figma variants, respecting all pre-defined variant, text, and boolean properties.
👨💻 Inspect mode: Developers can now directly edit CSS code.
🔐 On-premise and private cloud deployments: Now available for larger enterprises to get that ultimate security of deploying Locofy in your own environment.
📝 Large Design Models Whitepaper: Learn how and why we built our own foundational models.
🤩 Major UI/UX improvements: Making it much easier to preview your code and make any changes to our AI’s decisions.
We’re making it easier than ever to go from design to developer-friendly frontend code — all while maintaining the highest quality.
Thanks for helping us reach another massive milestone, we’re super excited to continue building the future of AI-powered frontend development together.
And of course, we've got an exclusive promo code just for our Product Hunt supporters. Use "MEOW20" to get 20% off any of our annual plans, this will only be valid for the rest of November!

Honey Mittal (on behalf of Team Locofy.ai)
Congratulations on the launch of Locofy Pro! How does the code export/sync process work? Are there any unique features or integrations that set Locofy Pro apart from other similar products?
Hi @samalyx ,
Thank you for the congratulations and your interest in Locofy Pro!
To answer your question about the code export/sync process:
- Project Creation: You start by creating your project in Locofy.
- Select and Convert: Select your Figma screen(s) to convert and run Locofy Lightning.
- Review AI Decisions: Once the conversion is complete, you can review our AI decisions.
- Sync and Export: Sync to the Locofy Builder from where you can export the code.
What truly sets Locofy Pro apart from other similar products are our in-house developed Large Design Models (LDM). These models enable us to generate highly scalable and maintainable code that adheres to modern best practices.
If you’d like to learn more about our unique features and integrations, we have detailed information on our website and YouTube channel.
Feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
Been using locofy product intermittently for more than two years, and it is really pioneering in this design to code space! Congratulations on the new launch!
Congrats on your launch, team Locofy.
Looking at the name, I initially thought it was a logo creation tool, but it turns out it's even cooler than that!
This is an exciting milestone for Locofy.ai—congratulations to the entire team! 🎉 The journey from tackling design-to-code challenges to creating a tool that empowers over 500,000 builders globally is inspiring. Locofy’s focus on leveraging AI, especially with your proprietary Large Design Models, is truly groundbreaking and reflects how innovation can simplify and accelerate product development.
The new features, particularly Figma to Angular support and custom component imports, are game-changers for streamlining workflows. As someone who understands the time and effort spent bridging design and development, tools like Locofy are a lifesaver. Also, the flexibility in pricing and enterprise-level security options make it accessible and scalable for diverse teams.
The Product Hunt community is lucky to get such an exclusive deal—thank you for keeping us in mind! Best of luck as you shape the future of AI-powered frontend development; it’s clear Locofy is just getting started 🚀.
@honeymittal Congrats on the launch! Seems like a killer product specifically for the niche you're in!
I am curious - 500k devs sounds like a lot to get on board. How did you first make them aware of the value add of the product and are those 500k all paid users? Pretty neat to get that type of mass adoption and I'd love to hear more about how you were able to hit that scale.
Hey @dzaitzow
Thank you for the congratulations and your interest in our journey!
We did a lot of things right, including our Product Hunt launch, but one key aspect was our free beta program. This allowed us to gather high-quality customer feedback, which we used to prioritize our product roadmap.
Although not all 500k devs are paid users yet, our main focus was on developing a product that provides real value. By listening to our beta users and continuously improving based on their feedback, we were able to achieve significant adoption and build a strong community.
Thanks again for your support!
@tkromke Are there specific things you did "right" on launch day? Very interesting strategy growing a free beta program.. If you don't mind me asking - did that take you farther away from profitability than you'd first hoped? haha
There are many things we did, so breaking it down to one thing only is of course not so easy @dzaitzow, but if you ask me to name 1 thing that I think was important I would say communicate the switch from free to paid early. Let the user know in advance that your free beta is going to end. You don't want the user to be in a situation where he suddenly can not use your tool anymore without paying.
Regarding the profitability question: it is hard to answer because we don't know what the alternatives would have been. We can only make assumptions if monetising earlier or later would have been better. Seeing a lot of customers converting from free to paid and growing new customers at the same time shows us though that our decisions were right.
@dzaitzow thanks Daniel, we ran a free beta program for 3 years and only recently came out of beta with our paid plans (2 months only). We were lucky to get initial users from word of mouth (i guess the problem we're solving is a really painful one), product hunt, and developer communities.
Oh this speaks to my soul - just spent 3 days turning a Figma handoff into actual code. The GitHub sync part is interesting - does it handle component states properly? Been burned before by export tools that mess up hover animations and break responsive layouts.
@thealisoneyo Hello! Thank you for your interest in Locofy. This can definitely make your Figma handoff more seamless.
For responsiveness, Locofy generates fully responsive screens/code, but this depends on how properly optimised your design is. For example, removing unnecessary groups and frames and adding auto layout. Locofy will always do its best to make any designs responsive using LocoAI, but it's always good to keep your designs optimised. You can visit our docs for tips regarding this.
For components, we have a custom components feature where you can connect your custom components library and map it with your Figma design. This way, you're code will include your custom component code with all the states. You can check this link for more info regarding custom components
Hey @ihuzaifashoukat
thanks a lot. It really depends on the complexity of your layout. We have some best practices that we are sharing in our docs.
At the end of the day it really comes down to your individual design though. Therefore I would suggest that you go ahead and give it a try. You can sign up for Pay-As-You-Go at no costs and enjoy 1,000 free LDMtoken to give it a try!
Let me know how you like it,
Tobi
Congrats for the launch, been trying alternatives for this (like many try to launch stuff fast) but will definitely give it a look. Sure the one who hits the goal will win a lot!
Locofy Pro seems like an excellent tool for speeding up frontend development by automating the design-to-code process. The ability to convert Figma designs to developer-friendly code quickly and the new support for Angular are great additions. It’s also nice that the platform supports custom component libraries, making it easier to integrate with existing projects. I’m curious about how well it handles more complex or custom design elements—does it maintain full design fidelity when converting them into code?
Love what you are doing empowering developers with tools to expedite their workflows. As a developer myself, I see Locofy.ai as a game-changer in efficiently bridging the gap between design and development. Kudos to the team for continuously innovating over these past few years and making frontend development more accessible and efficient! Awesome launch! 🚀
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We're thrilled to hear that you see Locofy.ai as a game-changer for developers. Our goal has always been to bridge the gap between design and development, making the process more accessible and efficient. Your feedback motivates us to keep innovating and improving. Thanks again for the encouragement and the kudos @arivers! 🚀
