Can You Import a PDF to Figma?

Figma is a vector-based design tool that’s gaining popularity among UX and web designers. But can you import a PDF into Figma

PRO TIP: There is no import function for PDFs in Figma. If you’re looking to edit a PDF, you’ll need to convert it to another file format first (like PNG or JPEG).

The short answer is yes, but it’s not as straightforward as you might think. When you import a PDF into Figma, it’s converted into an image. That means you won’t be able to edit the individual elements within the PDF.

If you need to edit a PDF in Figma, your best bet is to first convert it to a vector format like SVG or EPS. Then you can import the converted file into Figma and edit it to your heart’s content.

So while you can import a PDF into Figma, it’s not necessarily the best format to use if you need to edit the file. For that, you’re better off converting the PDF to a vector format before importing it into Figma.
