Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the company refers to it as the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration. It’s primarily used for web and mobile applications, although it can be used for other purposes such as icon design.
Figma is free to use for individuals, with paid plans for teams and organizations.
PSD is a file format used by Adobe Photoshop, the popular image-editing software. Photoshop files have the .psd extension and are often used by graphic designers and web developers to create high-quality graphics. Figma is a vector-based program, meaning that you can scale your designs without losing quality, whereas Photoshop uses pixels, so if you try to enlarge a Photoshop graphic, it will become blurry.
How do I convert Figma to PSD?
There are a few different ways to convert Figma to PSD:
- Use an online converter: Figma offers an online converter that you can use to convert your Figma designs into PSD files. Simply upload your Figma file and choose the desired output format (PSD), then click “Convert”.
- Download a plugin: If you use Figma on a regular basis, you may want to consider downloading a plugin that allows you to export your designs directly to PSD.
One popular plugin is Design Handoff, which offers a free trial and paid plans starting at $15/month.
- Export it manually: You can also export your Figma design as a PNG or JPEG image, then open it in Photoshop and save it as a PSD file. To do this, go to “File > Export > Export As…” and choose your desired file format.
If you’re working with someone who uses Photoshop or another program that doesn’t support .fig files, you’ll need to convert your Figma designs into another format before they can use them.
