We focused on strengthening design system sync, improving conversion accuracy, and preparing UiChemy for what’s coming next, so your builds stay consistent and future-ready.
Here’s everything you should know from January 👇
✅ — What’s New in UiChemy
This month, we focused on making your design-to-WordPress workflow smoother and more reliable. From syncing Bricks design systems completely to preparing for Elementor v4, here’s what’s new and coming up.
Until now, UiChemy could sync the core parts of your Figma design system into Bricks: colors, typography, container width, and padding.

Many of you mentioned that radius, borders, gaps, and shadows still needed manual setup, which slowed down your workflow.
Now, UiChemy completes the design system sync for Bricks:
✅ Global radius
✅ Borders
✅ Gaps
✅ Shadow classes
These styles are applied globally and inside imported designs, keeping everything consistent from Figma to Bricks. Less manual work, more reliability, and cleaner results for serious design system users.
📈 — What’s Next at UiChemy?
We’re actively working on a few exciting updates:
Elementor v4 Atomic Widget Support
- Convert Figma variables and styles into Elementor v4 atomic widget classes
- Support global typography, colors, padding, gaps, borders, radius, and shadows
- Tagging support for atomic widgets during conversion
UiChemy Education Course

More updates are on the way, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

UiChemy as Your Design-to-WordPress Bridge
Most tools help you design. Others help you build. UiChemy sits right in the middle, and that’s the real power.
UiChemy is not just an exporter. It acts as a bridge between design thinking and real WordPress structure, translating visual decisions into usable systems inside your builder.
Instead of redesigning everything again in WordPress, your styles, spacing logic, and structure move with you, reducing duplicate work and keeping design intent intact from Figma to live site.
For teams, this means smoother collaboration.
For freelancers, it means faster delivery.
For everyone, it means fewer “why doesn’t this match the design?” moments.

💡— Figma Tips, Tricks & Tools
Tool of the Month
Remove.bg
Removes image backgrounds in seconds. Super useful for hero sections, product cards, team sections, and creative layouts without needing advanced photo editing.
Tip of the Month
Design Once, Think Reusable
Before you design a section, ask:
“Will I reuse this somewhere else?”
If yes, turn it into a style, component, or system element in Figma first.
When you design with reuse in mind:
• Your layouts stay cleaner
• Your WordPress structure becomes more organized
• UiChemy can map things more accurately
One reusable system element can save you from editing 10 different places later. Small mindset shift, huge time saver.
