There is a two-week-old local Figma file I’m trying to import but I’m getting this error again and again “Image import failed”. Why Figma is not able to import its own file extension?


I think I had the same problem, ai don’t understand why.

Here’s something worked for me:


1 - Create e new Figma file

2 - Go to File > New from sketch file

3 - In the “select box” choose “All files”



4 - Grab your Figma file


It should open this way.


@Paulo_Ricardo_Manuel_Cabral Thanks, It worked.


I have the same issue and didn’t work with me


you can not open the files directly into the canvas/ open project , go back to files and drop the .fig file there in the files menu.


Worked for me, cheers.
