Can I Export Figma to PSD?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 8:52 am

Designers often ask whether they can export their Figma designs into Photoshop files. The answer is yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind when you do so.

When you export from Figma to Photoshop, your design will be exported as a .psd file. This file type is native to Photoshop, and can be opened and edited in that program.

PRO TIP: Exporting Figma to PSD is not recommended as it can result in data loss and file corruption.

However, there are some limitations to consider when exporting from Figma to Photoshop. First, any layers that are not flattened will not be exported.

This means that any transparency or effects on those layers will be lost. Additionally, any text that is not converted to outlines will also not be exported.

These limitations are important to keep in mind when exporting your designs. However, if you are careful about which layers you export, and make sure to convert your text to outlines, you should be able to export your Figma designs into Photoshop without any problems.

In conclusion, you can export Figma designs into Photoshop files by selecting the “Export As” option in the File menu. However, there are some limitations to consider when doing so, such as the loss of transparency and effects on non-flattened layers, and the need to convert text to outlines.
