How Do I Compress an Image in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:02 am

Designers frequently need to compress images in order to save on file size and loading times. There are a few different ways to do this, but the most common is to use an image compression tool.

There are many different image compression tools available online, but one of the most popular is Figma. Figma is free to use and offers a wide range of features, making it a great choice for those looking to compress images.

PRO TIP: When compressing an image in Figma, be sure to use the “Export As…” option rather than the “Save As…” option. Exporting an image as a PNG or JPG will compress the file size, but saving an image as a PNG or JPG will not compress the file size.

To compress an image in Figma, simply open the image in the app and then click on the “Compress” button in the top toolbar. This will bring up a menu of options for you to choose from. Select the “JPEG” option and then click “OK.” Your image will now be compressed and saved as a JPEG file.

If you need to further reduce the file size of your image, you can also try using the “PNG” option in the compression menu. This will result in a lower quality image, but it may be worth it if you’re trying to save on space.

Once you’ve compressed your image, you can then save it to your computer or export it for use on the web. Figma makes it easy to share your images with others, so you can quickly get your work out there without having to worry about file sizes.
