How Do I Send a Figma File to Developer?

When it comes to working with developers on a website design, Figma is an incredibly useful tool. It allows designers to quickly and easily collaborate with developers, making the process of creating a website much smoother and more efficient. However, sending a Figma file to a developer can sometimes be confusing.

The first step in sending a Figma file to a developer is to export the file as an SVG. This is done by selecting “File” in the top navigation bar, then “Export”, and finally “Export As”.

From there, you can select SVG as the desired file format. Once the export is complete, you will have an SVG file which can be sent directly to your developer.

Once the SVG has been exported, you can send it directly to your developer via email or other file-sharing services such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Make sure that when you send it, you include all of the necessary information such as what elements are used and where they are located on the page so that your developer can easily access them.

If your developer needs additional information from your Figma project such as fonts or colors used in the design, you can use Figma’s Style Guide feature. This feature allows you to generate a style guide document which contains all of this information in one easy-to-read format. Simply select “File” in the top navigation bar, then “Style Guide” and finally “Generate Style Guide Document”.

Conclusion:

Sending a Figma file to a developer is easily done by exporting it as an SVG and then sending it via email or other file-sharing services such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Additionally, if more detailed information from your project is needed, then using Figma’s Style Guide feature will provide everything that your developer needs in one easy-to-read document.
