How Do I Save a Figma File as a Smaller PDF?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:38 pm

Figma is a great tool for designing user interfaces, but one thing it doesn’t do well is export to PDF. If you need to save a Figma file as a PDF, there are a few workaround methods you can use.

The first method is to use the “Export as PDF” feature in Figma. To do this, go to File > Export > Export As PDF.

This will open up a dialog box where you can choose the export settings. Make sure to uncheck the “Resize to Fit” option, and then click “Export.”

PRO TIP: When saving a Figma file as a PDF, be aware that the quality of the PDF may suffer if the file is too large. Make sure to check the quality of the PDF before printing or sharing it with others.

The second method is to use the “Print to PDF” feature in your browser. To do this, go to File > Print, and then choose “Print to PDF” as your printer.

This will open up a dialog box where you can choose the print settings. Again, make sure to uncheck the “Resize to Fit” option, and then click “Print.”

The third method is to use an online converter like Zamzar or CloudConvert. Simply upload your Figma file to the website, and choose PDF as the output format. These websites will automatically resize your file to fit the PDF format, so make sure you select the “Do not resize” option before starting the conversion process.

All of these methods should work in most cases, but if you’re still having trouble exporting your Figma file as a PDF, feel free to reach out to our support team for help.
