Question

Blur effect removed when figma slide is exported to PDF

Hi Folks,

Thanks in advance for helping out.
I’m super happy with the newly released Figma slides. It perfectly integrates with what we need and it works like a charm.
We are using some glass effects in our deck, which are built with blur effect. However when exporting to PDF, they are transparant again. Who knows what to do?

Hey All, thanks for continuing to flag!

It just occurred to the team that the fix pushed was only for exporting blur effects in Figma design and did not include a fix for Slides.

The team is still working on a fix for Slides. We’ll provide another update on the fix as soon as we can.

Dear All,

when I export it as PNG and untick “Ignore overlapping layers” it works but then I would need to do that for all slides and then convert it back to PDF.

Would be awesome if we could have also the option for PDF to untick. Maybe this helps.

Kind regards

I also just came across this today - very frustrating! Any ETA on the fix?
