Question

Exporting as PDF - black lines around some images


Pichi_UI

Trying to export a single (long) frame as a PDF (it’s a case study) but some of my images that have been brought in as PDFs are showing black lines around the edges. Is there a way to get rid of this? It looks untidy and unprofessional. These lines are not shown in the Figma file - only when exporting to PDF.

note that this is not black boxes around links - I had come to learn of this problem while trying to search for a solution for my problem.

Hey All, sorry for the trouble!

Border lines will typically only appear when exporting an image/frame/group/object that has fractional pixel sizing or is not sitting on whole pixels on your canvas.

FYI, i was having a similar issue: in Figma Slides, I was using a template that had really nice backgrounds consisting of an image, overlaid with a linear gradient to soften the image. In the Figma Slides web app, it looked fine; however, after exporting, there was a strange, miniscule, approx. 1px border around the edge of the background image. This border was due to the linear gradient layer being not precisely on top of the image, such that at the edge, it was just barely not covering the whole image. This for some reason did not show up on the Figma Slides web app, but did after downloading as PDF.

To fix this, I just expanded the linear gradient layer slightly over the edge the of the background image, and it fixed it.
