Can You Export Figma to AI?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:36 pm

Figma is a vector drawing and animation software. It’s used by professional designers at top companies, like Google, Facebook, and Netflix.

Many people use Figma to create high-quality illustrations, icons, and user interfaces. While Figma is a great tool for creating vector graphics, it doesn’t have built-in support for exporting to AI (Adobe Illustrator) format. However, there are some workarounds that you can use to export your Figma designs to AI.

The first workaround is to use the SVG Export plugin. This plugin will allow you to export your Figma design as an SVG file, which you can then open in AI and save as an AI file.

The second workaround is to use the PDF Export plugin. This plugin will allow you to export your Figma design as a PDF file, which you can then open in AI and save as an AI file.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that Figma does not support exporting to AI. If you attempt to do so, you may lose data or encounter other unexpected issues.

Both of these workarounds require you to have the AI software installed on your computer. If you don’t have AI, you can download a free trial from Adobe’s website.

In conclusion, while Figma doesn’t have built-in support for exporting to AI format, there are workarounds that you can use to export your designs to AI.
