What File Formats Are Available for UI Design Daily Resources?

Updated

UI Design Daily describes its library as "100% free UI components and design source files available in formats popular in the industry." That means the download you get is a design source file, not a code component you can drop into a project. The site does not publish a single fixed format list, so the only reliable answer is: open the individual resource page and check the download options before you commit to using it.

Design source files, not code

The distinction matters more than the specific extension:

What you get What it is What it is not
Design source files Editable design files for tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD HTML, CSS, or JavaScript components
UI components (design) Pre-built interface elements you customize visually Installable packages or npm modules
Free resources Downloadable assets from the site's library A hosted component library with an API

If your goal is to paste working front-end code into a repository, this site is the wrong starting point. If your goal is to grab a designed component and adapt it in your design tool, it fits.

How to confirm the format for a specific resource

Because formats vary between resources, verify each one individually:

  1. Find the resource. Browse by tag (the site organizes components under tags like checkout, pricing, dashboard, date picker, sign up, and many others) or search the components list.
  2. Open the resource page. Each component has its own page.
  3. Look for the download option. The page presents the file(s) available for that specific component. This is where the actual format is revealed.
  4. Check compatibility before downloading. Confirm the file type matches the design tool you use. A file that opens in one tool may not open cleanly in another.

The expected result: you know exactly which file you are getting and whether your tool can open it, before you spend time on it.

Common sticking points

  • Assuming one format fits all. The library spans many component types and was built over time, so formats are not guaranteed to be uniform across every resource.
  • Expecting code. The site's own description says "design source files," so treat any code expectation as a mismatch.
  • Skipping the resource page. The tag and category pages tell you what a component is, not what file you download. Only the individual resource page settles the format question.

What to do next

If you already use a design tool, browse the tags closest to your task, open two or three candidate resources, and compare the download formats listed on each page. Pick the one whose format your tool opens. If none match, the resource is not usable for you regardless of how good the design looks.
