Use this interactive demo to learn how to import and open a .fig file in Figma.

Quick summary

Opening a .fig file in Figma requires using the Import feature from the main dashboard to upload and access your design file. This four-step process lets you bring any Figma file from your computer directly into your Figma project workspace.


Steps

  1. On the Figma main dashboard, click the Import button at the top-right corner.
  2. Tap Import From Computer and select the .fig file you want to open.
  3. Click Done to proceed with the import.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to open a .fig file in Figma is essential for designers who receive Figma source files from collaborators or clients without a shared project link. The built-in Import feature lets you upload any .fig file directly from your computer and access it instantly within your Figma workspace — no third-party tools required. This workflow ensures design assets are never locked out of your pipeline, keeping handoffs smooth and project timelines on track.
