Figma Export: How to Download Your Figma Data and What It's Worth
This Figma export guide shows how to download your data with Figma's own tools, then what those records are worth. Get a quick estimate for your Figma history, see what buyers pay more for, and learn how to measure and export it.
Figma data is part of your company's design and cad record. Design and CAD files show how products, buildings and brands are developed through drafts and revisions. Its value depends on years of history, how much real discussion and detail it holds, and which other systems you combine it with.
Figma export: the official steps
How to download your Figma data
- Open the file you want to export.
- Click the Main menu.
- Go to File > Save local copy to download a .fig copy to your downloads folder.
- To restore, drag the .fig file into the file browser of any Figma account.
Figma notes that if Save local copy is missing, the file owner may have restricted viewers from copying or exporting. Repeat per file, or script it against Figma's REST API for a large workspace.

Estimate your Figma data
Why AI companies want Figma data
Design and CAD files show how products, buildings and brands are developed through drafts and revisions. They're most valuable alongside the feedback and decisions recorded in other systems.
What makes Figma data worth more or less
| Raises value | Lowers value |
|---|---|
| Working files with version history | Final exports only |
| Projects with feedback in chat or tickets | Stock assets and templates |
| Years of organized projects | Files scattered across personal drives |
| Your own product and brand work | Client work you don't own |
What's removed or excluded
Names, emails, phone numbers, account numbers and other identifying details are removed by a privacy specialist before any buyer or lab sees the data. Anything you hold on behalf of clients is excluded from the license.
How to measure your Figma data
Figma has no storage meter, so count files by folder or through the API.
Exporting the full history: Save local .fig copies of each file.
How to sell or license it
- Don't delete anything. Keep the account active, including former employees.
- Note the size and history. Your total GB in Figma, plus how many years you've used it.
- Get an estimate. Use the estimator above, or the full calculator to include your other systems.
- Request an offer. A direct buyer reviews a sample, prices it, and pays after anonymized delivery. Start with Polyshares, or compare buyers first.
Common questions
Can I sell my company's Figma data?
Generally yes, if the company owns the account and the data is about its own operations. It's licensed with identifying details removed, and anything you hold for clients stays out.
How much is Figma data worth?
It depends on history, detail and what else you combine it with. Use the estimator above for Figma alone, or the full calculator to include every system.
Do I need to export Figma before getting an offer?
Not to get an estimate. Buyers start from your intake answers and review a sample. If you're closing, export before you cancel, since deleted accounts usually can't be recovered.
Do I keep my data?
With a license, yes. You keep the business and the data, and the license covers defined material for a defined term.
