Web to Figma is a Chrome extension that captures webpages and converts them into editable Figma designs. This extension is designed with privacy in mind. It does not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
Web to Figma does not collect or store any of the following:
During the capture process, the extension temporarily accesses the following data. None of it is stored or transmitted to the extension developer.
| Data | Purpose | Where It Goes |
|---|---|---|
| Active tab title | Used as the label for the Figma capture | Sent to Claude Code running locally on your machine |
| Page DOM content | Captured by Figma's overlay script to generate the design | Sent directly to Figma's servers by their capture script |
The extension requests the following browser permissions, each for a specific purpose:
| Permission | Reason |
|---|---|
activeTab |
Read the title of the current tab to label the Figma capture |
scripting |
Inject Figma's capture overlay script into the active page |
nativeMessaging |
Communicate with the Claude Code CLI running locally on your machine |
host_permissions: https://mcp.figma.com/* |
Fetch Figma's official capture script |
This extension uses Chrome's native messaging API to communicate with a local process on your computer. The native messaging host invokes the Claude Code CLI, which in turn calls Figma's MCP server to initiate the capture. All communication happens locally between your browser and a process running on your own machine. No data is sent to remote servers operated by the extension developer.
The extension relies on two third-party services during the capture process:
The extension does not persist any data beyond the duration of a single capture session.
No data is written to local storage, cookies, or files by the extension itself. The native messaging host
writes only a debug log file (~/.web-to-figma-host.log) on your local machine, which contains
only operational status messages and no page content or personal data.
This extension is not directed at children under 13. It does not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
If this privacy policy is updated, the revised version will be posted at this URL with an updated effective date.
