How to export Figma designs to PDF?

Step 1: Open Your Figma Project

First things first, open up your Figma project. Make sure everything's ready to go for the export. Double-check those designs and pages!

Step 2: Select the Frame(s)

Click on the frame(s) you want to export. If you need to grab multiple frames, just hold down the Shift key while clicking. Or, you can use Cmd/Ctrl + A to select all frames on the current page. Easy peasy.

Step 3: Go to the Export Panel

Look over to the right sidebar and find the “Export” section at the bottom. This is where the magic happens.

Step 4: Configure Export Settings

In the Export section, click the “+” icon to add an export setting. Choose “PDF” from the dropdown menu. Usually, sticking to 1x resolution works best for PDFs.

Step 5: Export the Design

Hit the “Export [frame name/number]” button in the Export section. A file dialog will pop up. Pick where you want to save your PDF, name it, and click “Save.” Done and done.

Alternative: Export Multiple Frames as a Single PDF

If you’ve got multiple frames and want them in one PDF, make sure they’re all selected and in the right order. In the Export settings, select “PDF” and then click “Export [number of frames] frames.” Name your file, choose where to save it, and you’re good to go.

Verification

Head over to where you saved the PDF and open it up. Check to make sure everything looks right—layout, design, quality, the whole shebang.

These steps should help you export your Figma designs to a PDF smoothly and efficiently.
