How to Download a Figma File

Use this interactive demo to learn how to save a Figma file directly to your local storage.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to download a Figma file to your computer using the Main Menu and the Save a Local Copy option. In just a few clicks, you can export any Figma design file directly to your local storage without any additional tools.


Steps

  1. Head to the top-left corner and click the Main Menu icon to open the main navigation.
  2. Hover your mouse cursor over the File option in the menu.
  3. Select Save a Local Copy from the File submenu.
  4. The selected Figma file will be downloaded to your local storage automatically.

📌 Why this matters

Downloading a Figma file to local storage is essential for designers who need offline access, version backups, or to share source files outside of Figma's cloud environment. The Save a Local Copy feature lets teams preserve design assets independently of cloud connectivity or account access. This is especially valuable for agencies, freelancers, and enterprise teams managing file handoffs or maintaining local design archives. Knowing how to export Figma files directly ensures uninterrupted workflows and full control over your design assets.
