Import files into Figma

There are a few different ways to import files into Figma.

File Importer

The file importer allows you to select local files from your computer and import them to your file browser.
  1. Click the Import file tile in the file browser. You can find this in the top section of any file page in the file browser.
  2. Select the file(s) from the dialog window and click Open to start the import process.
  3. Depending on the file size this can take a couple of seconds to import. Click Done to return to the file browser.

Drag and Drop Files

You can drag a file from a folder on your computer, or from your Desktop, right into Figma. This is available on both the Figma Desktop app and the Figma web app (browser-based).

You can drag and drop Files into the file browser or the Editor. Figma supports different file formats for each approach.

Add files to Figma
