💡 Introduction

Tkinter Designer was created to speed up the GUI development process in Python. It uses the well-known design software Figma to make creating beautiful Tkinter GUIs in Python a piece of cake 🍰.

Tkinter Designer uses the Figma API to analyze a design file and create the respective code and files needed for the GUI. Even Tkinter Designer's GUI is created using Tkinter Designer.

📢 Announcement

🎉 Multi frame support is here! 🎉

You can now create multiple frames in a single design file and Tkinter Designer will create the respective code and files for each frame. This is a huge step for Tkinter Designer and I'm really excited to see what you guys create with it.

Feel free to share your creations with the community on Discord.

If you encounter any bugs or have any suggestions, please create an issue here.

☄️ Advantages of Tkinter Designer

1. Interfaces with drag and drop.
2. A great deal quicker than writing code by hand
3. Produce more gorgeous interfaces

Requirements

Tkinter Designer supports Python 3.9 and newer. Install it with:

pip install tkdesigner

The CLI accepts both current figma.com/design/... links and legacy figma.com/file/... links. If you select a specific frame before copying the Figma link, Tkinter Designer will generate that selected frame. Always wrap Figma URLs in quotes when running from a shell, because Figma links often include ? and & query parameters.

tkdesigner "$FILE_URL" "$FIGMA_TOKEN"

To generate a class-based Tkinter app:

tkdesigner --template class $FILE_URL $FIGMA_TOKEN

To generate one app with Back/Next navigation across multiple Figma frames:

tkdesigner --template pages $FILE_URL $FIGMA_TOKEN

Generated apps can also apply a ttk theme:

tkdesigner --theme clam $FILE_URL $FIGMA_TOKEN

Generated gui.py files can be imported from another Python file without starting mainloop() automatically, so you can attach commands separately and regenerate the UI later. Use -f when you want the CLI to clear and regenerate an existing build directory.

📐 How it Works

The only thing the user needs to do is design an interface with Figma, and then paste the Figma file URL and API token into Tkinter Designer.

Tkinter Designer will automatically generate all the code and images required to create the GUI in Tkinter.
