Developers use Figma to: inspect designs (click elements to see CSS properties), export assets (SVG icons, PNG images), measure spacing (hold Alt and hover), extract colors and typography, understand responsive behavior. Figma Dev Mode shows CSS code, component properties, and layout information. Key tip: copy CSS from Figma as a starting point, but adapt it — Figma CSS is often verbose and uses absolute positioning where flex/grid is better.
