PRO TIP: Figma is a great tool for designers, but downloading illustrations can be tricky. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Make sure you have the right license. Some illustrations are only licensed for personal use, while others have commercial licenses.

2. Downloading an illustration is different from downloading an image. Images are typically saved as JPEG or PNG files, while illustrations are often saved as vector files.

3. Be sure to check the file format before you download an illustration. Some file formats, like EPS, can be opened in vector editing software like Adobe Illustrator, while others, like SVG, can be opened in web browsers like Firefox or Safari.

4. If you’re not sure how to open or edit a vector file, reach out to the artist or designer who created it and ask for help.

  • Get Figma Desktop App
  • Use Download as Function
