How Do I Export Styles in Figma?

Using the Figma design platform, designers can quickly and easily create visually pleasing designs. One of the most powerful features of Figma is its ability to save and export styles.

With style exports, designers can create repeatable style elements that they can use across projects. This allows them to quickly apply their branding elements to a new project, or customize existing designs with their own style.

To export a style in Figma, the first step is to create a style element. This element can be anything from a line, shape, or text.

Once this element has been created, the designer can then select it and click on the “Style” tab on the left side of their Figma window. Here they will be able to adjust various attributes such as color, font size, line widths, etc.

From this same tab, the designer will also see an “Export Style” button. When clicked on this button will open up an export dialog box where the designer can select which elements they would like to export. They have the option to export all of their styles at once or just individual elements.

Once they have selected their desired elements they will see a “Download” button which they can click on to download their exported styles as either a .json file or .zip file. These files can then be imported into other design platforms such as Adobe Illustrator or Sketch in order for them to be used in other projects.

By creating a style element and selecting it in Figma’s Style tab, designers can then export either individual elements or all of their styles at once by clicking on the “Export Style” button and downloading them as either a .
