How Do I Export a Transparent SVG From Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:18 am

There are a few ways to achieve this, but we’ll outline the most straightforward method here. The first thing you need to do is open your design in Figma. Then, go to the top menu and select File > Export > Export As.. (or use the shortcut Shift + E).

In the Export dialog that appears, select SVG from the dropdown menu next to Format. Then, make sure the checkbox for “Use Artboards” is selected. This will ensure that each individual element in your design is exported as a separate layer in the SVG file.

Under Quality, select Low or Medium. This will reduce the file size of your SVG, which is important for web performance.

PRO TIP: When exporting a transparent SVG from Figma, it is important to make sure that the background is also set to be transparent. Otherwise, the SVG will inherit the background color of the Figma document, which could result in an unwanted color on the final image.

Finally, click Export and choose a location to save your file. That’s it! Now you have a transparent SVG that you can use on your website or in any other project.

There are a few things to keep in mind when using SVGs on the web. First, they can be scaled to any size without losing quality, so make sure to use them at the correct size for your project.

Second, they’re resolution-independent, which means they look great on retina displays and other high-resolution screens. And lastly, they’re usually smaller in file size than other image formats like JPEG or PNG, so they’ll load faster on your website.
