How Do I Export From Figma to Instagram?

Last updated on November 27, 2022 @ 6:54 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – think Adobe Illustrator, but with a focus on user interface design, web design, and iconography. And like most design software, it has the ability to export assets for use in other applications.

One such application is Instagram. While you can’t directly upload Figma files to Instagram, you can export your designs as image files and then upload them to Instagram in the usual way.

To export a design from Figma to Instagram, first open the design in Figma and select the element or frame that you want to export. Then click on the “Export” button in the top toolbar and select “Image.”

PRO TIP: This note is to warn you that there is no direct way to export from Figma to Instagram. The only way to get your Figma designs onto Instagram is to take a screenshot or export the design as an image and then upload it to Instagram.

In the “Export Image” dialog box that appears, select JPEG or PNG from the “Format” drop-down menu. You can also adjust the quality settings and choose whether to export the design at its original size or resize it to fit within a specific width or height.

Once you’ve made your selections, click on the “Export” button and choose where to save the image file on your computer. Then go to your Instagram account and upload the image in the usual way.
