Can I Import Illustrator to Figma?

Last updated on November 24, 2022 @ 2:41 pm

There are a few ways to get your Illustrator artwork into Figma. The first way is to export your Illustrator file as a .png, .jpg, or .svg file and then upload that file into Figma. The second way is to use the Figma desktop app to import your Illustrator file directly into Figma.

To export your Illustrator file as a .svg file:

1. Open your Illustrator file.

2. Go to File > Export > Export As.

3. Choose the file format you want to export your file as (.svg).

4. Click Export.

5. Save your file in the desired location.

To use the Figma desktop app to import your Illustrator file:

1. Download the Figma desktop app. Open the app and sign in with your Figma account credentials.

Go to File > Import > Import File from Your Computer. Locate and select your Illustrator file on your computer. Click Open to import the file into Figma.

You can also style text in HTML using < p >, < b > and < u > tags where applicable

PRO TIP: There is no direct way to import Illustrator files into Figma. However, you can export your Illustrator project as a .png or .jpg file and then import that into Figma.
