Figma Variables (launched 2023) let designers define reusable design tokens (colors, sizes, fonts) once, use everywhere. Changes propagate instantly across all designs. Used to build scalable design systems. Key differentiator: mode support (light/dark, mobile/desktop variants with one token). Takes 2-3 weeks to master. Sits between hardcoded colors (fragile) and CSS custom properties (code-only) as the designer-native approach.

Figma Variables Tokens이란

Figma Variables is Figma's native design token system, launched in 2023. It lets you define reusable design decisions (colors, typography, spacing) as variables, then use them across all designs. When you change a token (e.g., primary color), all designs using that token update instantly. Variables support "modes", variants like light/dark, mobile/desktop, so one component can reference the same token and display different values depending on the active mode. This is transformative for design systems.

❓ 자주 묻는 질문

What are design tokens?

Design tokens are reusable design decisions (colors, font sizes, spacing) expressed as variables. Instead of hardcoding 'blue #0066FF' in 100 places, you define it once as a token and reference it.

How do Figma Variables differ from CSS custom properties?

Figma Variables are design-native; CSS custom properties are code-native. Variables let designers manage tokens visually in Figma. Both can sync, but Variables are designer-friendly.

What are 'modes' in Figma Variables?

Modes let you have token variants (light mode, dark mode, mobile, desktop). A single component can reference the same token, and the value changes based on the active mode.

Can I export Figma Variables to code?

Yes. Figma Variables can be exported as JSON or synced to code via APIs. Plugins exist to automate export to CSS, JavaScript, etc.

How do I share Variables across Figma files?

Library files in Figma can contain shared Variables. Other files link to the library, and Variables update across all files when the library changes.
