### Video Tutorial: Export images with custom folder path names from Figma

This video tutorial is a complete step-by-step guide showing you how to export images with custom folder path names from Figma using the TinyImage plugin.

The **Filename Format** field is optional, and if you leave this field empty/blank, it will default to **#{name}#{suffix}**.

## Available variables for your filenames

You can **mix and match** _any_ of the variables below into your custom subfolder/filename pattern, including regular text and characters (like underscores or letters/numbers).

- **#{name}** The name of the Figma layer (eg. "My Figma Layer Name")
- **#{scale}** The scale from the export setting (eg. "2x")
- **#{width}** The width of the image (eg. "1024")
- **#{height}** The layer height (eg. "768")
- **#{suffix}** The suffix from the export setting (eg. "\_example")
- **#{date}** Timestamp at the time of export (eg. "28-Sep-2020")
- **#{section}** The parent Figma Section layer name, if it exists (eg. "Section 1")
- **#{frame}** The parent Figma Frame layer name, if it exists (eg. "Frame 1")

> **Note:** **Creating Sub Folders**. To create a subfolder, you can add a "**/**" anywhere in your custom filename format. For example **#{date}/#{width}x#{height}/#{name}** would create a dynamic folder structure like **28-Sep-2020/1024x768/my_figma_layer_name.jpg** (where the variables get swapped out for the real values related to each exported image).
