Design projects often require working with a wide range of image formats, from common file types like PNG and JPEG to less conventional formats like JPEG XL or TIFF. Regardless of the format, it should be seamless to bring any image file into Figma, a go-to tool for many designers. While Figma supports a variety of image formats natively, there are limitations. This is where image.to.design comes in.
With image.to.design, importing any image file into Figma becomes effortless, ensuring that designers can focus on creativity without worrying about technical restrictions.
How to import ANY image format into Figma
Using image.to.design is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to import images, of any format, into Figma:
1) Run image.to.design
Open the image.to.design plugin in the Figma file where you need the image.
2) Upload your image
Drag and drop your image file—regardless of format—into the plugin. You can also click “Browse” to upload the image from your computer.
3) Your image is in Figma!
That’s it! Your image appears in Figma, with its quality fully preserved. No matter what file type you’re working with, image.to.design ensures your image integrates seamlessly into your design workflow.
Why use image.to.design to import images into Figma?
If Figma already supports several image formats, why should you consider using image.to.design? The plugin not only expands the range of supported file types but also enhances the experience of importing even those formats Figma already handles. Here’s why it stands out:
🚀 Improved SVG compatibility
SVGs imported through image.to.design retain their integrity better than Figma’s native importer, ensuring your vector graphics look exactly as intended without any distortions or missing details.
🌟 Optimized PNG imports
PNG files imported via the plugin are automatically optimized to reduce memory usage, leading to faster performance and a smoother design experience in Figma.
🖼️ Support for more image formats
While Figma supports a handful of image types, image.to.design broadens this range. Whether you’re working with rarer formats like JPEG XL or classic ones like PNG, image.to.design has you covered. image.to.design currently supports the following 10 formats:
- AVIF
- BMP
- GIF
- HEIC
- JPEG
- JPEG XL
