Open .PDF details →Quality & what to watch
- Each exported frame becomes one page in the PDF - select multiple frames before exporting to produce a multi-page PDF; frame order follows left-to-right, top-to-bottom canvas order.
- Vector shapes, text, and icons export as vector elements in the PDF; raster images placed inside the design are included as embedded rasters.
- Third-party
.figconverter websites are unreliable - Figma's format is proprietary, undocumented, and can change between versions.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid Figma plan to export PDF?
No - a free Figma account is sufficient to import a
.fig file and export frames as PDF.How do I export all frames in one PDF?
Use File > Export (Ctrl+Shift+E / Cmd+Shift+E) to open the bulk export dialog, select all items, set the format to PDF, and export.

Yes - Figma runs in any modern browser, so the web-based export works on Linux where there is no Figma desktop app.
