Convert a file to FIG

To convert other file formats to the "Collaborative Interface Design" file type, you need software like Figma or a similar tool.


About FIG files

The .FIG file extension primarily represents two entirely different formats: a Figma collaborative interface design file, and a MATLAB figure file. Figma uses .fig to save offline local backups of web layouts, mobile apps, and UI/UX prototypes. Meanwhile, MATLAB uses .fig to store plotted 2D and 3D graphs, charts, and complex data visualizations. Additionally, older UNIX-based systems use this extension for Xfig vector graphics drawing files.

Opening these files without their native applications is incredibly difficult. Figma files are permanently tied to the closed Figma ecosystem; you cannot open them in a standard web browser, macOS Preview, or Windows Photos. They are proprietary and useless to clients without a Figma account. Similarly, MATLAB files require an expensive, multi-gigabyte software license just to view a simple data plot, creating major friction when sharing academic research or data with non-engineers.

To make these files universally accessible, conversion is mandatory. For Figma files, the best target formats are PDF, SVG, or PNG. Converting to PDF is best for document sharing and printing, while SVG maintains scalable vector properties for web developers. However, exporting away from Figma flattens interactive prototypes and strips out native CSS component data. For MATLAB figures, exporting to PDF, EPS, or JPG is ideal for publishing in academic papers, though you will lose the ability to rotate 3D plots or inspect underlying raw data points.

Why is this file format difficult to open or convert? Figma files are heavily structured, closed-ecosystem ZIP containers holding proprietary JSON files and image assets. MATLAB files are similarly locked into a proprietary binary or HDF5-based structure. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our platform will inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like the ZIP structure in Figma files - viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your FIG file.

Users also converted PNG, ZIP, FLG, PDF, OFIG, INP, JPG, MAT, CRDOWNLOAD, ENC, TXT, RPT and AAE files.


FAQ

If you want to convert FIG file to AI, MP4, HTML, SKETCH, OBJ, FBX or DAE, you can use Figma or similar software from the "Collaborative Interface Design Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to FIG, try Figma or another comparable tool in the "Collaborative Interface Design Storage" category.



The FIG Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FIG converter.
