Trying to migrate a very graphic slide deck from illustrator to Figma. I have no problem copy-pasting vectors, but bitmaps are just pasted as an empty frame 😦


I’m afraid I’ll have to export all assets as png first and then import them into figma, but that takes up considerably more time than just copy-pasting 🫠


Is this normal behavior or anyone else having this problem? Is there an easier workaround??

Hi @andrea-hg ,

For your information, to double check: SVG Symbol, marker and clipPath elements are not currently imported. You can find more information here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040030374-Copy-assets-between-design-tools#Import_to_Figma


Solution: It actually had to do more with Illustrator than with Figma. To copy & paste bitmaps from illustrator to Figma with ease, the ‘include svg’ setting (under clipboard handling) must be unchecked.
