After exporting a project from Figma Make to GitHub, the images are broken, cannot be opened or viewed, and are not displayed in the application. If you read their type via `file image.png`, you get ASCII text instead of png. The only way to get the correct versions of the photos is to download the archive with the code generated by Figma Make.

Hi ​@MarkHmnv, thanks for flagging this and apologies for the delayed reply! 

Are you still seeing this issue with broken images when exporting from Figma Make to GitHub?
If so, are you able to provide screenshots of exactly what you’re seeing on your end?

With more details, we can flag this over to our Figma Make team to investigate.

Hi I am also facing the same issue . I am getting this issue after cloning the git repo , where Figma make pushed the .png files . 

 


These .png files are not opening.

Hi, the same issue is occurring.

Specifically, when I manually upload images to Figma Make and use them in the UI, the components import them in the form of figma:assets. When I then push the project to GitHub, it seems that the actual image files are converted and written out to the assets directory. However, those images are corrupted.

Although my images are PNG files, when I open them in a text editor, they appear to be partially Base64-encoded. It looks as if the processing is incomplete and the data is truncated partway through, so the files cannot be opened as valid image files.

I’m seeing the same problem. When pushing to GitHub, the images in the assets folder are corrupted. They are saved as .png files but are not valid/openable PNGs.

The only workaround I found was to manually extract the images from the Figma Make-generated archive and commit them to the repository myself.
