How Do I Backup My Figma?

There are a few different ways that you can backup your Figma account and data. The first way is to export your data as an .sketch file.

You can do this by going to File > Export > Export as .sketch. This will save all of your account data, including your projects, into a single file that you can then store in a safe place.

Another way to backup your data is to use the Figma API. The Figma API allows you to access your account data programmatically, which means you can write a script to backup your data automatically.

To use the Figma API, you’ll need to create a personal access token. You can do this by going to Profile > Personal Access Tokens and clicking the “Create new token” button. Once you have a personal access token, you can use the Figma API to export your data as JSON or PDF.

The last way to backup your data is to use the Figma Desktop app. The Figma Desktop app allows you to sync your account data locally, so you can always have a copy of it even if something happens to the Figma servers.

To use the Figma Desktop app, simply log in with your account credentials and choose the projects you want to sync. The app will then download those projects and keep them up-to-date automatically.

PRO TIP: If you are unsure about how to backup your Figma, we strongly recommend that you reach out to a professional for assistance. Attempting to backup your Figma without proper knowledge or experience could lead to data loss or corruption.

Which method you use to backup your data is up to you, but we recommend using a combination of all three methods for maximum protection.
