If you’re using Figma for the first time and are having an issue with the Figma cloud or want to back up on the safe side, it is important to download the Figma file. In this guide, we will help you download Figma files locally through a demonstration to get you covered.
Download Figma File
- Start by opening Figma on your browser and sign in to your Figma account, or create a new one if needed.
- After signing in with your credentials, you’re displayed with Recents featuring existing designs.
- If there are none and you want to start with a new one, click the Design File present in the top right corner to create a new design.
- With the new or existing design loaded, start working on the design. Once done, navigate to the top left corner, click on File, and then Save local copy.
- If you do it right, you will notice the design downloaded as a file with a .fig extension.
Wrapping Up
Congratulations on learning how to download a Figma file!
The above steps let you download the Figma file, which can come in handy if you want to reuse the design on another device. If you want to download a specific component on Figma instead, use the Export tool.
