Convertify exports Figma frames as .ai files for Adobe Illustrator.
Illustrator export is in Beta. Review the downloaded file in Illustrator, especially text, transparency, effects and masks.
Export your frames
- Run Convertify in Figma and choose Export from Figma.
- Choose Export Figma to Adobe Illustrator (Beta).
- Choose Legacy .ai: layers and editable type or PDF-compatible .ai: exact look.
- Choose whether top-level layers become Illustrator layers or each frame uses one Illustrator layer. Choose whether to leave shadows and blurs out or keep them as images.
- Select your frames and click Export Selected Frames, or click Export This Page.
- Download the result, unzip it if needed, and open the
.aifiles in Illustrator.
Choose editability or appearance
- Legacy .ai supports layers and editable type, with an Outline text option. It does not support transparency or effects. You can move hidden layers to a hidden layer, leave them out, or make them visible.
- PDF-compatible .ai keeps transparency and outlines text. Enable Put all frames in one multi-page file to combine frames; otherwise each frame becomes its own file.
- Keeping shadows and blurs as images trades editability for their rendered appearance. Matching fonts are needed when you retain editable type.
Multiple separate files are packaged in a ZIP. This is distinct from unlayered EPS export.
