How Do I Use CMYK in Figma?

Last updated on December 30, 2022 @ 2:51 pm

There is only one way to use CMYK in Figma. That is to use a plugin.

To do this, simply click on the “Resources” option at the top menu and then select the “Plugins” tab.

From here, search for the “TinyImage Compressor” and click on the “Run” button.

PRO TIP: When working with color in Figma, it’s important to keep in mind that the CMYK color mode is not supported. This means that you won’t be able to create in CMYK mode and you can only use RGB when you export your design. The only way to use CMYK is to use the TinyImage Compressor plugin, however, the number of times that you can use it is limited.

In the plugin’s window, select the “Create PDF” button at the top menu.

Then, select the “CMYK Color Profile” on the next page. Once done, click on the “Export PDF” button.

NOTE: The CMYK color profile produces high-resolution designs and is the best choice for printing.

Finally, select a file location for your PDF with the CMYK color profile and hit on the “Save” button.

 

So there you have it! An alternative way that you can use a CMYK color profile in Figma. Experiment with the plugins available in Figma and see which one works best for your particular needs.
