Convert a file to FIG
To convert other file formats to the "UI Design / Data Plot" file type, you need software like Figma or a similar tool.
About FIG files
The .fig file extension primarily represents a user interface design file created by Figma, or a data plot generated by MATLAB. In UI/UX workflows, a Figma .fig file stores a complete layout, including vector graphics, text nodes, components, and embedded raster images. In scientific environments, a MATLAB .fig file contains a 2D or 3D graphical plot of data arrays. Other less common uses include Xfig vector drawings and Autodesk 3ds Max figure files.
Both primary formats have significant disadvantages outside their native ecosystems. A Figma .fig file is essentially a proprietary, localized backup of a cloud-native document. It is heavily reliant on Figma's rendering engine and cannot be natively previewed by standard web browsers or operating systems. Similarly, a MATLAB .fig file requires a costly MathWorks license to open interactively; otherwise, the raw data remains locked. Users usually need to convert these files because collaborators or clients cannot view them without the specific, expensive, or cloud-locked software.
The most pragmatic conversion targets for a Figma file are PDF, SVG, or PNG. For MATLAB figures, users typically require PDF, EPS, or JPG. Converting to these standard formats makes the visual content universally accessible, but you will permanently lose interactivity, such as editable design components in Figma or rotatable 3D axes in MATLAB.
Because .fig files use closed, proprietary data structures - Figma files use an internal ZIP-compressed format, and MATLAB files rely on native object serialization - they are notoriously difficult for third-party tools to parse. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Standard online converters fail to process them accurately. However, just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible on convert.guru. We inspect the file structure, and if our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your FIG file.
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 "Vector Graphics & UI Design" 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 "Vector Graphics & UI Design" 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.
