The gap between design and delivery

Figma makes designing and collaborating quick. Preparing a polished PDF for a printer, client, or stakeholder can still involve exporting frames one by one, adjusting print settings elsewhere, compressing the result, and checking that links and typography survived.

That collection of small, disconnected tasks is easy to get wrong. Turbo PDF Exporter & Compressor brings the workflow closer to the design file, so a PDF can be prepared without a chain of external tools.

Organize pages and export in one place

The plugin detects parent frames and gives you a focused place to select and arrange pages. You can sort by name, layer order, or visual layout, then generate the document in one export flow.

For longer documents, the goal is to make the work feel responsive inside Figma instead of freezing the workspace while a large export runs.

Settings for print and smaller files

Choose bleed measurements and crop marks for print production, and select CMYK, RGB, or grayscale output to fit the intended destination. DPI options let you balance sharp output with a manageable file size, including high-resolution prepress exports.

Compression can reduce PDF size while retaining crisp vector content and clear imagery. The plugin also preserves functional hyperlinks, can add visible link outlines, and embeds fonts to keep the document consistent across devices.

Designed with privacy in mind

PDF processing happens locally on your machine. Your Figma designs and exported documents are not uploaded for cloud processing, which matters when working with private client or product material.

You can try the Pro workflow with 10 free exports. Turbo PDF Exporter & Compressor is available in the Figma Community, with paid plans for unlimited exports.
