Export to CMYK

I want to be able to export designs in PDF for print (CMYK/Hi-resolution)

For now, I was using the plugin TinyImage Compressor but it’s no longer free and I don’t understand why Figma can have this option on it’s own. I’d have to pay $456 a year.
If Figma has paper sizes, why don’t they have this option… you can’t print quality good quality colors in RGB. I’m going to have to go back to Adobe for print files.

Is this happening to anyone else?

It can be done using the TinyImage Compressor plugin, as explained in this video.

This would be helpful to convert digital templates to ready to print files for clients

Hi everyone !
I’m designing flyer and posters that I want to print. I think it would be great to be able to display the color in CMYK mode to get a high-fidelity rendering of what will be printed. For now I’m obliged to switch back to Illustrator to do so 😦
Tell me what you think !

Also badly want this. Designing labels in Figma is so much easier than Adobe Illustrator - the only thing missing is the CMYK export. Yes it’s possible with 3rd party plugins but it’s cumbersome and costs almost as much as an AI license.

Also waiting for this feature. Going back & forth to InDesign isn’t fun. I’d like to only use Figma for printing, but that’s not possible yet.

There was another ‘idea’ called ‘CMYK color support’ which was closed in order to be merged into this one, but which actually better covered my use case (this one doesn’t quite cover it). Simple CMYK export does not suffice for a viable print design workflow. My base-case, and I imagine most others’ here, is CMYK color palette + spot color support with print-specific export options (trim, bleed, separations). This would enable me to use all the Figma goodness such as libraries & variables, responsive design feature set and collaborative workflows across all domains (i.e. web and print) and ditch the round trips to Adobe and back.
