How Do I Export SVG Icons From Figma?

Last updated on April 23, 2023 @ 8:23 am

Designing SVG icons in Figma is a breeze. With just a few clicks, you can export your icons in a variety of formats, including PNG, JPG, and SVG. Here’s how:

First, open the icon you want to export in Figma and select its layer.

Then, go to the Design tab and scroll down to the Export section. Click on the “+” to open the Export menu.

In the Export window that appears, select the “SVG” option from the “Format” drop-down menu.

NOTE: Once you choose the SVG file type, the Export menu option to resize your design will be disabled with ‘1x’ being the default.

PRO TIP: When exporting SVG icons from Figma, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure that your icon is on a transparent background. If it is not, the icon will have a white background when exported. Second, make sure to export your icon to the correct size. If you are unsure of the correct size, you can check the Export menu dropdown menu in Figma for guidance. Finally, make sure that your icon is saved as an .svg file type before exporting. If it is not, it will not be exported as an SVG file and you will not be able to use it as an icon.

Once you’re happy with your settings, click on the “Export” button to save your icon as an SVG file.

That’s it! You’ve now successfully exported an SVG icon from Figma.
