Question

How can I import or edit SVGs in Figma via the API?


Test_Account

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a backend pipeline that generates SVG files and I’d like to automate sending them into Figma—or at least programmatically editing existing SVG layers—without manual uploads. I’ve looked through the Figma REST API and Plugin API docs but haven’t found any endpoints for SVG import or direct layer manipulation.

  • Is there a supported way to upload/import an SVG file into a Figma document via API?

  • Can I modify existing SVG nodes or layers in a Figma file programmatically?

  • I’ve considered the Plugin API, but it’s not suitable because it always requires opening the Figma interface and manually running the plugin.

  • Does the Figma Enterprise plan offer any additional API capabilities or endpoints for SVG import/editing that aren’t available on lower tiers?

  • Are there any SDKs, undocumented endpoints, or plugin-based workarounds you’d recommend?

Any pointers to documentation, examples, or community plugins would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!
