Exporting your emails to PDF

Emailify includes a built-in PDF export option, which lets you export images of your real rendered HTML emails directly from the Figma plugin to PDF files (and JPG images) to use as a shareable preview documents to send to stakeholders or anyone else for review/approval.

Export emails to PDFs with separate JPG images ​

This video walks through how to export HTML emails from the Figma Emailify plugin to PDF files.

In the Emailify export panel, select the PDF Previews option from the dropdown list, then when you're ready, click the Export To PDF button to start exporting the emails you've selected from Figma to PDFs, and then download your .zip file from the confirmation screen when it's completed.

Enable the Add Clickable PDF Links toggle to preserve click/tap areas from your email's <a href> links in the exported PDF.

Add Alt Text Comments ​

Enable the Add Alt Text Comments toggle to include image alt text as PDF comments for any images that contain alt attributes.

The export will also include static JPG images of your emails, too.

Hide layers from PDF exports ​

If you want to exclude specific content from PDF previews without affecting your normal HTML exports, you can add [pdf-hide] anywhere in the Figma layer name that you want hidden.

For example, naming a layer Footer Snippets [pdf-hide] or Legal Placeholder [pdf-hide] will hide it from PDF Previews only.

Emailify only checks for this tag when generating PDF Previews, and if no layers contain [pdf-hide] it will skip the temporary export-clone step entirely.

This works well for things like dynamic snippet rows, content block placeholders, or any internal-only layers that shouldn't appear in compliance PDFs.

Emailify will temporarily hide any tagged layers only while the PDF Previews export is being generated, then clean up the temporary export copy automatically. Your original Figma layers stay unchanged, and the same layers will still export normally to HTML unless you hide them some other way.

Export emails to PDFs (as Grayscale Wireframes) ​

This video walks through how to export emails as grayscale wireframe previews from the Figma Emailify plugin to PDF files.

If you would prefer to export your PDF previews with "Lorem Ipsum" text, grayscale colors and blank images, you can optionally toggle the Enable Wireframe Mode setting, which will automatically convert your email designs into stripped back previews; sometimes this is useful for early client feedback.

The export will also include static JPG images of your emails, too.
