How Do I Save One Figma File as a PDF?

Last updated on November 29, 2022 @ 7:26 pm

When you want to save a Figma file as a PDF, you have a few options. You can use the “Export” feature in Figma, or you can use a third-party service like PDFescape.

If you use the “Export” feature in Figma, you’ll need to export each page of your design separately. To do this, open the file in Figma and click on the “Export” button in the right panel. Then, select “PDF” from the list of export options and click on the “Export” button again.

PRO TIP: When exporting a Figma file as a PDF, there are a few things to keep in mind:

– Make sure all fonts are installed on your computer before exporting. Otherwise, the PDF will not display correctly.
– Export at high resolution for best quality.
– Use the “Save as PDF” option in the File menu, not the “Export” option.

If you use a third-party service like PDFescape, you can save your entire Figma file as a single PDF.

To do this, open the file in Figma.
