Can I Export Figma to Zeplin?

Last updated on November 30, 2022 @ 4:50 am

Figma is a vector-based design tool that is gaining popularity in the design community for its user-friendly interface and robust features. One common question designers have is whether Figma can be exported to Zeplin, another popular design tool. The answer is yes!

Here’s how to export your Figma design to Zeplin:

  1. Open the project you want to export in Figma.
  2. Click on “File” in the top left corner of the screen.
  3. Click “Export” from the dropdown menu.
  4. Select “Zeplin” as your export format.
  5. Choose whether you want to export the entire project or just selected frames.
  6. Click “Export” and choose where you want to save the file.

That’s it! Your Figma design has now been exported to Zeplin.

There are a few things to keep in mind when exporting your designs to Zeplin:

  • Your designs must be in vector format to be exported to Zeplin. This means that if you have any bitmap images in your design, you will need to convert them to vectors first.
  • When you export your design, all of the layers and groups in Figma will be flattened and exported as one image. This means that you won’t be able to edit individual elements of your design in Zeplin.

Conclusion, yes – you can export your Figma designs into Zeplin! Just keep in mind that all layers will be flattened into one image, so you won’t be able to edit individual elements once they’re in Zeplin.

PRO TIP: When exporting Figma to Zeplin, there is potential for data loss. Make sure to keep a backup of your data before exporting.
