How Do I Save as SVG in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:12 am

Saving as an SVG in Figma is easy! First, select the object or group of objects you want to save as an SVG. Next, click the “Export” button in the upper right corner of the toolbar. In the “Export” window that appears, select “SVG” from the “Format” drop-down menu.

Finally, click the “Export” button in the bottom right corner of the window. That’s it! Your selected object(s) will now be saved as an SVG file.

There are a few things to keep in mind when saving objects as SVGs in Figma. First, remember that SVGs are vector graphics, so they can be scaled to any size without losing quality.

Second, since SVGs are vector graphics, they can’t contain bitmap images. So, if you try to save an object that contains a bitmap image (like a photo), Figma will automatically convert it to a PNG file.

PRO TIP: Saving as SVG in Figma is not as straightforward as it may seem. If you try to save your file as an SVG, you may inadvertently save your entire project file as an SVG. This can cause problems down the line, especially if you try to edit the SVG file in a vector editing program like Adobe Illustrator. To avoid this, be sure to specifically export your file as an SVG from the File > Export menu.

That’s all there is to saving as an SVG in Figma! As you can see, it’s a quick and easy process. So next time you need to save an object or group of objects as an SVG, just remember these simple steps.

The quick and easy steps for saving as an SVG in Figma make it a great go-to method for exporting graphics. While there are a few things to keep in mind – like ensuring your object doesn’t contain any bitmap images – overall the process is straightforward and easy to follow.
