Question

Insane PDF file size

I’m trying to export a single page in Figma into a PDF. Unfortunately it reaches file sizes between 320 MB and 370 MB depending on the export setting, making it useless as PDF readers struggle to even load it. Are there any common pitfalls to avoid? I don’t know any way to diagnose the issue so I’d maybe know which elements to remove.

To my surprise ilovepdf actually did reduce the file size by an insane amount. Unfortunately it did not fix the issues that occur while loading the file. Somehow a 7 MB file still takes 20+ seconds to load on a high end machine and whenever you zoom or scroll it needs to reload parts of it. So it still remains unusable unfortunately.

​We have developed a service that efficiently compresses PDF presentations exported from Figma. This is particularly relevant because PDFs exported from Figma can be quite large, making them difficult to share and use.​

Our service, available at https://pdfcompressor.ru/, allows you to reduce the size of PDF files without significant loss of quality. This is achieved by optimizing images and other elements within the document.​

For Figma users facing the issue of large PDF files upon export, our service will be a useful tool. It enables quick and easy compression of presentations, making them more convenient for email transmission or uploading to websites.​

We recommend trying our service and evaluating its benefits for your projects.
