Raster export

The Raster tab exports a single selected frame in formats the PDF tab does not cover.

CMYK TIFF

A true CMYK raster file: uncompressed 8-bit, Photometric = Separated, with DPI resolution tags. It opens in Photoshop, Acrobat, and RIP software as a genuine CMYK document. Use it when a shop asks for "a CMYK TIFF" or for raster workflows via the print sheet. CMYK TIFF export is a Pro feature; PNG, JPG, and the vector RGB PDF below are free.

Neutral grays and black convert to pure K, and total ink stays at or under 300%. Uncompressed TIFF is capped around 100 megapixels (roughly A2 at 300 DPI); lower the DPI for bigger sheets.

PNG and JPG with real DPI metadata

Figma's own exports carry no resolution metadata, so a "300 DPI" PNG opens at the wrong physical size everywhere. This tab writes the metadata into the file bytes:

  • Name
    PNG
    Type
    pHYs chunk
    Description

    Pixels-per-metre header written into the PNG, so Photoshop and preflight tools read the exact print size.

  • Name
    JPG
    Type
    JFIF density
    Description

    Dots-per-inch fields written into the JFIF header, inserted if missing.

Vector RGB PDF

Figma's native vector PDF (1 px = 1 pt, exact physical size) with colors left in RGB. Useful when a print house prefers to do its own color conversion on vector input. For CMYK PDFs, use the PDF tab.
