Last updated on February 19, 2023 @ 12:29 pm

In this article, we will be discussing how to import PDF files into Figma.

First, go to the folder location of your PDF file and open it with Adobe Photoshop.

In the Import PDF window that will appear, change the settings according to your preference, then click on the “Ok” button.

Your PDF file should be open in Photoshop.

From there, go to File > Export >  Save for Web.

In the Save for Web window that will appear, select the JPEG file type and click on the “Save” button.

You can then save your image in your preferred file location and select the format “HTML and Images” and then click the “Save” button.

Now, open Figma and go to Main Menu > File > Place Image.

Then, select the image file of the PDF you converted and click on the “Open” button.

Select the “Place all” option in Figma.

Your PDF file converted to an image file should now be open in Figma!

PRO TIP: The answer is no, you cannot import PDF directly into Figma. You will need to convert your PDF file into an image file type like PNG or JPEG first before you can import it into Figma.
