How Do I Edit a Figma File in XD?

Last updated on December 1, 2022 @ 1:13 pm

As a general rule of thumb, it is best to edit Figma files in the native app. However, there are times when you may need to edit a file in Adobe XD. Here’s how:

    1. Open the file in Adobe XD.
    2. Edit the file as needed.
    3. Save the file.
    4. Export the file as a .fig file.
    5. Import the file into Figma.
    6. Edit the file as needed in Figma.

That’s it! You can now edit your Figma file in Adobe XD.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to edit a Figma file in XD, be warned that there may be some compatibility issues. While both software programs are designed for graphic design, they use different file formats. Therefore, it is possible that some elements in your Figma file may not translate over to XD. In addition, the editing tools in XD are not as robust as those in Figma, so you may not be able to make the same types of changes to your design.
