Figma JPEG export quality vs. PS

I’m running into some trouble and wondering if it’s fixable. I’ve spent a lot of time comparing JPEG exports from Figma vs. other design software. I’m seeing a compression happening that’s very noticeable in JPEGs with no compression.

Exporting a frame as JPEG with Figma default options @1 results in a lower quality. I attach 2 screenshots. One from Figma JPEG, no compression, and another one from Photoshop, no compression.

The Figma JPEG contains more data, and is a heavier file. But it still results in lower quality render that’s noticeable in the highlights and sharpness.

This is particularly bad when uploading to any social media / ad platforms where the point of focus of the creative is a photograph.

Yes, Figma’s JPEG export sometimes struggles with clarity. To keep your images sharp without increasing file size, you can try online JPEG Compressor tool for additional compression control after export. This tool might help improve quality, especially for online platforms.
