How to Export Multiple Frames in Figma?

Published in Design Tools 2 mins read

Figma doesn't have a built-in feature to directly export multiple frames in a single action. However, there are a few workarounds and tools you can use to achieve this:

1. Exporting Individual Frames:

  • Select the frame you want to export.
  • Go to "File" > "Export" > "Select a format" (e.g., PNG, SVG, JPG).
  • Choose the desired settings (e.g., scale, background color).
  • Click "Export".
  • Repeat this process for each frame you want to export.

This method is straightforward but can be time-consuming for a large number of frames.

2. Using Plugins:

  • Install a plugin like "Batch Export" or "Export All" from the Figma community.
  • Select the frames you want to export.
  • Run the plugin and configure the export settings (e.g., format, scale, destination folder).
  • The plugin will automatically export all the selected frames.

Plugins offer a more streamlined way to export multiple frames.

3. Utilizing Figma's "Component" Feature:

  • Create a "Component" that contains the elements you want to export across multiple frames.
  • Use this component in each frame where you need the same design elements.
  • Export the component as a single file. This file will contain all the variations of the component used in different frames.

This method is useful for exporting multiple frames with similar elements, saving you time and ensuring consistency.

4. Using Third-Party Tools:

  • Export each frame individually using the method mentioned in point 1.
  • Use a third-party image processing tool like Photoshop or GIMP to combine the exported images into a single file or a collection of files.

This method provides more control over the final output but requires additional steps and software.

Conclusion:

While there's no one-click solution for exporting multiple frames in Figma, using plugins or component features can significantly simplify the process. Choose the method that best suits your needs and the complexity of your design.
