How does fontsize in Figma compare to Flutter?

Question

I have made a design in Figma that I wanted to rebuild using Flutter. I'm having a hard time choosing the right fontsize in Flutter that corresponds to the fontsize I used in Figma.

For example in Figma I chose fontsize 144 for a title and it looked alright, but when I chose this fontsize for that title in Flutter, it looks way to big. So how do these fontsizes from Figma and Flutter compare?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

Yes, The figam and flutter sizes do not correspond. It applies to other tools like Sketch or AdobeXD. Your job as a developer is also to understand what ahas been made in figma or sketch or adobe XD to be able to show the proper size in flutter honestly.

Also personaly, I think Flutter is great because you don't really need a tool like Figma to right and do beautiful designs because of the feature hot reload. You can just - if you want to develop an app for personal use and it's not a part of a bigger project with designers in the team - use the hot reload feature to look directly how your app will look.

Tnx for the insight. I will just play around with hot reload then.
