Export Figma Frames to CMYK for Professional Printing
Print for Figma converts RGB artwork to CMYK with ICC color profiles, so your brand colors stay accurate from screen to press. Export press-ready PDFs that pass every print check on the first upload.
Why CMYK conversion matters
CMYK is the color space every commercial printer expects. When you export directly from Figma, your files stay in RGB, which causes unexpected shifts and dull hues on paper. Print for Figma handles the conversion automatically with ICC profiles like U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) and FOGRA39, so spot colors, gradients, and photography remain consistent.
CMYK export checklist
- Install Print for Figma. Access the plugin from the Figma Community and run it on your project.
- Select frames or pages. Pick the artboards you need to convert.
- Choose CMYK profile. Select the appropriate ICC preset or upload a custom profile from your print partner.
- Preview and validate. Use the live preview to spot color shifts before exporting.
- Export PDF/X-1a. Get a print-ready PDF complete with embedded profiles and fonts.
