To export your designs from Figma for Procreate, click the Export from Figma tab, then choose Export Figma to Procreate (Beta) from the workflow selector.

Procreate export is in Beta. Check your canvas in Procreate before you start painting on it, and tell us about any frame that doesn't come across as expected.

Choosing a canvas size

Procreate canvases are measured in pixels. Choose a Canvas size before exporting:

• 1x makes the canvas the same number of pixels as your Figma frame.
• 2x (the default), 3x and 4x make it two, three or four times larger, for sharper results when you zoom in and paint in Procreate.

Canvases are capped at 8192 px on their longest side, the most Procreate opens on most iPads. A larger frame is scaled down to fit, and Convertify tells you when it does.

Exporting frames as a Procreate animation

Turn on Export frames as one animation to export the frames you select (or every frame on the page) as one Animation Assist canvas, the size of the first frame. Each frame becomes an animation frame:

• Order and timing follow the frames' After delay prototype links, starting from the page's flow starting point. The shortest delay sets the frame rate, and longer delays hold their frame. Without links, frames play left to right, top to bottom, at 15 frames per second.
• Looping is on when the last frame links back to the first; otherwise the animation plays once.
• The first frame's solid fill becomes the canvas background; later frames with a different fill keep it as a Background layer.

Exporting the current Figma page to Procreate

To convert every frame on the page, click Export This Page. Each frame becomes its own Procreate canvas.

Exporting selected Figma frames to Procreate

If you only want specific frames, select them and then click Export Selected Frames.

How your layers come across

• Each top-level layer in your frame becomes a Procreate layer, with its name, visibility, lock, opacity and blend mode.
• Groups (and frames with no fill, stroke or clipping) become Procreate groups, keeping their name, visibility, lock and opacity. Procreate groups can't contain other groups, so anything nested deeper is flattened into its top-level layer.
• A solid frame fill becomes the canvas background colour. Gradient, image or multiple fills, strokes and effects on the frame become a Background layer instead.
• Masks become Procreate layer masks on each layer they clip, so you can keep editing them in Procreate. Luminance masks keep their light and dark areas, and layers under several masks get them combined into one.
• Canvases imported from Procreate keep their clipping masks, Alpha Lock and blend modes Figma doesn't have.
• Procreate paints in pixels, so text, vectors and effects are rendered into each layer and are no longer editable.
• Content outside a frame is cropped to the canvas.
• The canvas uses your Figma file's colour profile: Display P3 for Display P3 files, sRGB otherwise.

Downloading your .procreate file from Figma

After Convertify has finished processing, download your .procreate file. If you exported more than one frame, the canvases are downloaded together in a .zip file.

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).

Opening your .procreate file in Procreate

1. Move the .procreate file to your iPad with AirDrop, the Files app or any cloud drive. If you downloaded a .zip, unzip it first (tap it in the Files app).
2. Tap the .procreate file to open it in Procreate, or tap Import in Procreate's Gallery and choose the file.
3. The canvas appears in your Gallery with its layers ready to edit.
