// quick answer

Figma does not import InVision Studio (.studio) files directly, and importing a Studio-exported Sketch file into Figma has produced grey placeholder boxes for some users.

Most likely fix: Convert to images first

How to fix it

// try these in order, the most common fix is first

  1. FIX 1Convert to images first

    1. 01Export screens as PNG or PDF from any copy you still have
    2. 02Place them in Figma and rebuild components over them
    Did this fix it?
  2. FIX 2Try the Sketch route and verify

    1. 01Export as Sketch if you still have the Studio app
    2. 02Import into Figma and inspect for placeholder boxes
    3. 03If layers are missing, rebuild from images
    Did this fix it?
  3. FIX 3Rebuild interactions

    1. 01Prototype interactions are not preserved; recreate flows in Figma's prototype view
    Did this fix it?
