10-2 Batch Exporting in Figma

Key Concepts

Batch Exporting

Batch Exporting in Figma allows designers to export multiple elements at once, saving time and ensuring consistency across exports. This feature is particularly useful for exporting icons, images, or other design assets in various formats and sizes.

Think of Batch Exporting as a production line. Just as a production line can produce multiple items at once, Batch Exporting allows you to create multiple assets at once, saving time and ensuring consistency.

Export Settings

Export Settings in Figma allow designers to customize the format, size, and resolution of exported assets. These settings can be adjusted for individual elements or applied globally to all exports. For example, you can set the export format to PNG and the resolution to 300 DPI for high-quality images.

Consider Export Settings as the parameters of a camera. Just as a camera allows you to adjust settings for different types of photos, Export Settings allow you to adjust parameters for different types of assets, ensuring the best quality for your needs.

Export Formats

Export Formats in Figma include PNG, SVG, JPG, PDF, and more. Each format has its own advantages and use cases. For example, PNG is ideal for images with transparent backgrounds, while SVG is perfect for scalable vector graphics.

Think of Export Formats as different types of packaging. Just as different products require different packaging, different design assets require different export formats to ensure the best quality and usability.

Export Presets

Export Presets in Figma allow designers to save and reuse specific export settings. These presets can be applied to multiple elements, ensuring consistency across different exports. For example, you can create a preset for exporting icons at 2x resolution.

Consider Export Presets as templates for packaging. Just as templates ensure consistent packaging, Export Presets ensure consistent export settings, saving time and ensuring uniformity.

Exporting Multiple Layers

Exporting Multiple Layers in Figma allows designers to select and export multiple layers at once. This feature is useful for exporting complex designs with multiple elements. For example, you can export all layers of a website design in one go.

Think of Exporting Multiple Layers as packing multiple items in a box. Just as you can pack multiple items in a box, you can export multiple layers in one go, ensuring all elements are included.

Exporting Components

Exporting Components in Figma allows designers to export reusable design elements, such as buttons, forms, and icons. This feature ensures that all instances of a component are exported consistently. For example, you can export all instances of a button component in different sizes.

Consider Exporting Components as creating a library of parts. Just as a library ensures all parts are available, Exporting Components ensures all instances are available for use, maintaining consistency.

Exporting Frames

Exporting Frames in Figma allows designers to export entire sections of a design, such as a webpage or a mobile screen. This feature is useful for exporting complete views of a design. For example, you can export all frames of a mobile app design.

Think of Exporting Frames as taking snapshots of a scene. Just as a snapshot captures a moment, Exporting Frames captures a complete view of a design, ensuring all elements are included.

Exporting Artboards

Exporting Artboards in Figma allows designers to export entire artboards, which are self-contained design areas. This feature is useful for exporting complete designs, such as a landing page or a dashboard. For example, you can export all artboards of a website design.

Consider Exporting Artboards as printing a poster. Just as a poster captures a complete design, Exporting Artboards captures a complete design area, ensuring all elements are included.

Exporting Groups

Exporting Groups in Figma allows designers to export grouped elements, such as a set of icons or a form. This feature ensures that all elements within a group are exported together. For example, you can export a group of social media icons.

Think of Exporting Groups as bundling items. Just as you can bundle items together, you can export grouped elements together, ensuring all related elements are included.

Exporting Individual Elements

Exporting Individual Elements in Figma allows designers to export specific elements, such as a single icon or a piece of text. This feature is useful for exporting detailed assets. For example, you can export a specific logo in different formats.

Consider Exporting Individual Elements as packaging a single item. Just as you can package a single item, you can export a single element, ensuring it is available for use.
