Exporting Figma to Canva

Export selected Figma pages and frames to PSD files for Canva with Convertify.

Video Tutorial: Export Figma to Canva with one click

This video walks through how to automatically export Figma to Canva via PSD files with one click using the Convertify plugin.

To export your designs from Figma for Canva, select the Export Figma to Canva option from the Convertify select box in the plugin.

Convertify creates a .psd file for this export, because Canva supports importing Adobe Photoshop files. After downloading the file, import the .psd into Canva using Canva's Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop import flow.

Convertify packs exported frames into a PSD grid first, ordered visually from top-left to bottom-right based on their positions on the Figma canvas. If the packed PSD is still too large, Convertify automatically splits the Canva export into a .zip containing smaller .psd files. Canva has a 300 MB import limit, so this helps keep large Figma pages importable in Canva.

Exporting the current Figma page to Canva ​

To convert an entire page, click Export This Page to begin converting the current page to a .psd file.

Exporting selected Figma frames to Canva ​

If you only want specific areas exported, select the Figma frames you want and then click Export Selected Frames.

Splitting large Canva exports ​

Convertify first tries to create one packed PSD file. If the export is near Canva's 300 MB import limit, exceeds PSD document limits, or is too large to build safely, Convertify automatically creates a .zip package containing smaller .psd files instead of one combined .psd file.

You can also turn on Split each frame into a separate PSD file before exporting if you prefer separate PSD files from the start. After downloading the .zip, unzip it on your computer and import the .psd files into Canva individually. If a single frame is still over Canva's 300 MB import limit, split that design into smaller Figma frames and export again.

Downloading your .psd file from Figma ​

After Convertify has finished processing, download your .psd file from the file browser. If Convertify exports a .zip file, download and unzip it before importing the PSD files into Canva.

Saving file downloads from Figma If you're using the Figma desktop app, you'll see a prompt appear to download your file. However, if you're using Figma in a web browser, your file will automatically be downloaded to your computer by default (usually to the Downloads directory on your computer).

Importing the .psd file into Canva ​

Once downloaded, upload or import the .psd file into Canva. Canva may convert unsupported Photoshop layer features, effects, or fonts differently, so check the imported design before using it in a live project.
