Who can use Air's Figma plugin?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Supported on any Air plan
✏️ Anyone who has download access to the workspace, library, or board

Air's Figma plugin helps you insert assets from Air into your Figma file and export static files from Figma back to your Air workspace. You’re able to browse your boards and libraries to find an asset to drop into your design. Once you’re done creating, export your work right back to Air to keep it organized.

Workspace

If you have multiple workspaces that you are a user of, you can click into the name of your workspace to view and access your content.

Boards

View a list of all the boards available in your selected workspace as well as key filters for easy access to your organized content. Use the carat toggles to expand and collapse parent boards and access sub-boards.

Locate content by board name or the following filters:

• My favorites - all of your favorited/starred items in your workspace
• Recently added - items added to your workspace in the last 30 days
• My uploads - all of your uploads to your workspace

All assets & files

Take a bird's eye view of all of the content in your workspace. Find your content by keyword or search term instead of getting lost in a sea of board and sub-board selection. Get what you need to start exercising your creative muscles right in Figma.

Upload to Air

Upload from Figma to any board in your Air workspace. No downloading and then uploading necessary! Figma selections can be uploaded to Air as static PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF files.

Export options:

• From the plugin context menu, export Figma selections, including frames or components, to Air as static PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF files. You can also save exports as new versions on an existing asset's version stack.
• Export names auto-populate with the selected frame name.
• Export as PDF (Figma Slides)

Note: Air does not govern, maintain, or actively sync Figma components as live Figma component libraries. Components can only be represented in Air through the supported static export formats.

Air for Figma app navigation

• ⬅️ Back - return to a previous location on the app
• ➡️ Forward - head to your most recent visited location on the app
• 💬 Board breadcrumbs - jump to a board or sub-board

Board view

Large thumbnail previews show in a two column gallery for a dynamic look at your content organized on the board level. Hover over any item for a glimpse into basic details:

• Title
• Extension
• Size
• Resolution

Just like on Air's web app, you'll see any sub-boards above any assets. Files (items without a visual) that are stored won't have a preview or any function on Figma but you can still see that they are part of the board when applicable.

Asset view

Assets are a larger preview of the item. You'll also see the name and resolution in editable fields. After making any modifications needed, insert the selected asset to add it to your open Figma project.

Version behavior and syncing

Inserted assets reflect the specific version selected in Air at the time of insertion. If the asset is later edited in Air, including via Air Flow, those changes do not appear automatically in Figma.

To use the updated asset in your design, reinsert it from the plugin. Active or automatic syncing between Air and Figma is not supported.

Additional insertion options:

• Insert images and videos (.mov, .mp4, .webm). Videos must be under 100 MB and use formats supported by Figma.
• Lock aspect ratio during insertion.
• Insert an asset as a fill for a frame or shape.
• Insert assets into Figma instance objects.
• Drag assets from the plugin onto the canvas (Figma desktop app only).
• Select and insert multiple assets from the same board at once.
• Open the asset menu and choose View in Air to open the item in Air.
