Importing an existing design
Often times, you have existing designs in a live product. We have a Chrome extension that will help you capture these designs and convert them into a Canvas screen.
From a website
Use the Magic Patterns Chrome Extension to capture your website
Install the Magic Patterns Chrome Extension: HTML to React
Use the extension to import any section of a website into Magic Patterns.
HTML + Tailwind or Chakra + Inline before importing into the canvas. Grab the URL of the Magic Patterns design
The Chrome extension will open a new tab with your design.
Make any edits as you see fit, then grab the URL of the generation.
From the 'Import Existing' tab, paste the URL and click 'Import'
A new screen will be created from your existing design.
From an existing non-Canvas design
If you have an existing design in Magic Patterns, you can use the import feature to convert it into a Canvas design.
